Hobie Pro Angler 12

My PA 12 when first purchased 

HOBIE PRO ANGLER 12 

The Hobie pro angler has changed the game in the kayak fishing world, some say it's changed the game so much it shouldn't even be considered a "kayak".

Hobie listens to their customers when it comes to making a kayak. They use top of the line molds, plastics and have well thought out deck and cargo areas.

Hobie sells a 14 ft pro angler and as of 2012 a 12 ft pro angler.

The 12 ft to me is the most versatile Kayak on the market, which brings speed, stability, and fish-ability to your on the water experience. The 12 ft Pro Angler features 500 lb capacity carrying weight, 4 in hull rod holders, the Hobie Vantage Seating, and the tackle management system.

The new 2015 Pro Angler is PACKED with features that make this such a great kayak for all types of fishing. 

The Mirage drive is what sets this kayak apart from the rest. Its fluent and natural pushing motions allow you to use your leg muscles to power the kayak for an all day fishing excursion.

The Pro Angler has helped me really step up my fishing game over the past year.
I currently own a 2014 Hobie Pro Angler. This kayak is perfect for me to throw in the bed up my pick up and get to the water and spend a comfortable 10 hours of the water.
I have Rigged my Pro Angler with an Elite 4 from Lowrance, a paddle clip, Anchor trolley, a Yak Attack Black Pak, and a Camera Boom from Railblaza to capture all my fishing trips.
Majority of the things seen on my Kayak have come from Delaware Paddlesports which carries a great amount of accessories for kayaks.

I run a Sony Action Cam off the camera boom for shots behind me, In front of me, as well as a head strap mount for all angles.

The stability this kayak offers is what sets itself apart from all the others. I can stand up with ease, cast to my spot, set the hook and do whatever I need to land a fish in this kayak.

I feel like this kayak has also helped me in the tournaments I have begun fishing. I am able to get a speed advantage over other kayaks off the start, as well as returning. Having the Mirage drive I can cover 3x more water with comfort and fish possibly 10-20 minutes longer then others knowing I can reach speeds up to 6 mph on the way back in.

I am excited to see what 2015 can bring on the water in my Hobie Pro Angler 12.
Hobie is now being supplied at Delaware Paddlesports in Lewes DE, with TAX FREE purchases.
DPS is very excited to have the opportunity to sell Hobie, stop on it and test your self out a PA 12 and take your kayak fishing to the next level like I did.

Heres a look at some of the quality fish I was able to catch during Tournaments in 2014 as well as some of the rigging I added on with the help of Delaware Paddlesports!
