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.
