Pro Angler 12 Fishing Kayak
Experience full power reverse with the one and only MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Turbo Fins. Logs, kelp? No problem. Our patented Kick-Up Fins “kick back” when contact is made with under water obstacles. Keep a half-dozen rods rigged and ready in the four standard horizontal and two vertical rod holders for the ultimate kayak fishing adventure.
Confidently stand and fire cast after cast: Equipped with the Guardian Transducer Shield, your transducer is protected on impact and retracts for transport, while providing side scanning for optimal fishfinder performance. Take comfort on the water to a new level with the elevated and breathable Vantage ST seat. Back, bottom and BOA® lumbar support makes it easy to stay out on the water all day. The Pro Angler 12 includes a retractable skeg for improved course-keeping, mounting boards, pivoting tackle management system, as well as the innovative 12-sided Hobie H-Rail for superior flexibility in accessory rigging.
