Hobie takes us through their new Mirage Outback at Paddlesports Retailer 2018. This kayak won both the Best Fishing Kayak as well as Best In Show in the Paddling Magazine Product & Industry Awards.
The 2019 Hobie Mirage Outback is a stable kayak that is also very fast in the water. The kayak is 34" wide but the bow has been trimmed to cut through the water a little better. H-rails delux have been added along the side of the kayak as well as additional tracks to allow you to attach a lot more accessories. There is a hatch that sits right in front of the seat. This is a pedal drive kayak with Hobie 180 Arc Drive that will do both forwards and reverse and there is dual steering so you can steer from either side of the kayak.
The Outback is great for trolling because the rods will sit out in front of you. There is also a nice open storage area in the stern of the kayak with lots of bungies that you can move. Hobie says this is one of the best turning kayaks in their lineup and has a drop down rudder that has been moved forward slightly on the kayak.
