Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 12 Pedal Fishing Kayak allows anglers to fish confidently, knowing they are in the most advanced fishing kayak on the market. With years of design, development, and advancements, the Hobie Pro Angler 12 platform has become one of the most popular and advanced kayaks. The efficient platform provides stability, fishability, ample storage, and rigging capabilities for the latest technology while ensuring you travel faster and farther by utilizing the MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Fins.

The Pro Angler 12 platform gives every angler what they need: storage. Storage comes in many forms, from tackle storage to storage for your electronics and batteries. The large front bow hatch with a removable liner is a great place to store tackle and essentials like rain gear, ice, and snacks. You can also mount batteries or other accessories like the Hobie Power Wall. Additionally, the Pro Angler now features under-seat battery storage, a quick and secure solution to have your battery within reach for easy installation. The power wall is installed directly into the mast and is the ideal mounting option for forward-facing sonar modules or distribution hubs. Right at your feet, the tackle management hatch provides immediate access to your tackle; this system also accepts a gear bucket. The 8″ waterproof hatch in the rear of the kayak has been reinforced and is now stronger than ever to provide stern access. Along each side of the cockpit, you’ll find two rubber mesh stowage pockets that utilize the latest rubber construction for improved durability. The horizontal rod storage system along the sidewalls is stronger and larger than ever to hold more rods without interfering with your fishing. Lastly, the spacious rear cargo area will house your fishing crate, cooler, or livewell.

What’s a good kayak without comfort and stability? The Pro Angler 12 is a rugged and reliable design that will handle the use and abuse of the hardcore angler. This 12-foot kayak offers a wide 36-inch platform, stable enough for sit-or-stand activities while casting and fishing, with a spacious and open cockpit. The Hobie Vantage ST seating is easily adjustable, providing lumbar support to cater to your needs.

With technology forever shaping and changing how anglers fish, the Hobie Pro Angler 12 is ready for all your rigging and mounting needs. When installing accessories, utilize the H-Rail system featured on all Pro Anglers. This simple slid-and-lock design ensures quick and easy rigging for various Hobie accessories, from rod holders and camera mounts to electronics mounts. The Guardian Retractable Transducer Shield conveniently mounts and secures your side-imaging transducer.

New for Pro Angler 12 Kayaks are three Hobie H Plates in the bow, stern, behind the seat, and two 3-way thru-hole plugs. These plates provide easy access and rigging for your wiring and switches, meaning you’ll no longer need to drill additional holes for electronic installations. Part of the latest additions for Pro Anglers include reinforced bow and stern-mounted inserts. These inserts ensure quick and easy mounting for motors and anchors. Along the stern are three sets of inserts, accepting two Power-Pole Micro Anchors and a motor. The bow inserts accept a quick-release bracket for various bow-mounted trolling motors; you can still access the bow handle with the motor retracted.

Hobie has had the good fortune to manufacture some of the highest quality kayaks available, which becomes apparent as soon as you enter the Pro Angler 12. The latest design and technology enable the utmost fishability and maneuverability. The primary objective is to provide anglers with all the necessary tools to make their time on the water enjoyable and productive for catching fish.
