Mirage® Pro Angler 14

The entire mirage drive by Hobie is a great idea hands free to fish and rig while paddling. I have found this to be a very dependable drive and kayak. The kayak at 14 foot handles larger people and allows you to carry more than enough tackle. The stability of the 14 makes it easy to stand and fish even without the bar you can add to it. I am 68 180 lbs and have no issues. Finally its a sit on top kayak so even when waves come in they drain out, and the vantage seat when the fishing is slow or stopped I have put the seat back and taken a nap.

Recently purchased a used 2011 or 2012 Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 with Mirage Drive still in good condition. I’ve taken it fishing several times now and I love the kayak. The PA 14 is quite long and wide. The stability is great, stood up very easily in the kayak. It has plenty of room for a cooler and all my fishing tackle. The Mirage Drive pedals great and does well on windy days just don’t go directly against the wind. Paddling is still awkward due to the width of the kayak but a longer paddle may help with that. The rudder is very responsive and steering is easy while pedaling. The PA 14 is quite heavy compared to my past kayaks but it’s stability makes up for it. I can still load and unload the kayak by myself fully rigged. Getting on the water much quicker with the Hobie kayak cart which came with the PA 14. Overall I love the PA 14, it’s a heavy stable fishing machine.

A bit heavy and hefty, but worth the effort. Not the kind of kayak one can transport on top(at least not easily). Pickup or trailer is best.

The Mirage Pro Angler is without question one of my favorite new fishing kayaks I've ever owned. It transports well and handles effortlessly in strong curvy rivers to open waters. With the new features, its has more to offer than other brands plus the staff was informative and helpful in showcasing the new features. It was clear they not only sell the best fishing kayaks but they use them to. Thanks again.

I´ve rented one of this on New Zeland! I was really cool!!! Very nice to ride it. And also you can notice the great job the engineers have done!!! Very worthy! Total recommendation!

I just want to express how amazing the Mirage Pro Angler 14 fishing kayak is. If you love Kayaking and fishing is your passion, then you have got to get yourself on of these models! It provides enough tackle compartments to give you exactly what you need in almost any fishing situation, and the elevated seat gives you an awesome bird’s-eye view to help with sight fishing. It’s an absolute beast to say the least! My advice fellow kayaker and fishing enthusiast, get yourself one of these and you will not be disappointed!

I fish and kayak in the NC coastal waterways, at 69 I trailer the kayak, I wanted something stable, hands free and reliable. with a lot of room. The ProAngler 14 and Mirage system gave me just that.

I've had my Hobie for about one month. I love it. We live on a chain of lakes in northern Minnesota. I use the boat for fishing, exercise, and to just plain find my happy place. What are it's attributes? - fast, stable, simple, and hassle free.

I've trailered to other water twice using my canoe trailer - easy lift of 1/2 at a time right side up. On one of these occasions was in big waves and wind with a quartering sea. Not even a hint of a tendency to broach. I've outfitted it with a fish finder and ram rod holder. A headlamp with a red light setting makes night fishing a snap.

This really seems to be a unique concept well executed. Thanks Hobie. The mirage drive is brilliant.
