After fishing several sit-on-top kayaks for 20 years, I decided to test sail a Hobie 12 Pro-Angler. I was sold after one minute of pedalling! It is fast. It has a rudder. It has a verrrrry comfortable seat. An all day seat. Not like most kayaks seats that make you butt miserable after a few hours. It has storage. It has rod holders. You can fish while moving, not like the paddle kayaks. Keep your rod in your hand, not your paddle. If you are really into fishing, get the Hobie crate for the back, or make your own. It holds extra gear and four fish poles upright. I mounted a Lowrance fish finder and a Power Pole anchor. And Amarine stainless steel rod holders on either side of the seat onto the rear legs. They are $18 bucks and great quality. Check Amazon. Great for trolling. Place the rods in the holders, get a drink in your hand, and start pedalling. No way would I go back to paddling. Oh - shallow water? No problem. Push one leg forward and lock the flippers up against the hull and drift over the shallows. Same as a paddle kayak. Are they expensive? Yes and no. Compared to a paddle kayak, yes. Compared to a fishing boat, no. You will not be sorry.Read full review
