Your Kayak Journey Guide
The updated 2015 Hobie Mirage Outback solves many of the complaints kayak anglers had about previous models. The addition of a framed “Vantage CT� seat, a cockpit facelift, flattened deck, and updated Mirage Drive with Glide Technology are why we choose the Hobie Mirage Outback as our number one pick for best all-around fishing kayak.
The Jackson Kayak Cuda 12 is a close second. It comes ready to fish straight from the factory, with a ton of accessories from RAM®, GoPro™, and Nalgene. This rigging plus great performance in a multitude of waters and conditions place the Cuda 12 near the top of our list. Jackson Kayak makes the Cuda in 12’ and 14’ models.
The Old Town Predator 13 is a solid all-around fishing kayak that was number one on last year’s list. We love the removable mounting plates on the Predator line - no more worrying about putting holes in your kayak.
The Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game II has many of the same features as the Old Town Predator 13, but with added weight capacity.
Love using your legs to pedal, but want the added benefit of reverse? The Slayer Propel 13 should be your next fishing kayak. Native makes the Slayer Propel in 10’ and 13’ models.
