I just bought one last week I say it’s worth the money I can say that because I have 6 kids and I’m the only one working. I went through 4 kayaks and this one is by far the best. Good buy brother

[@bassinsquatch8503]

When I had to sell my Ranger I bought a Hobie PA 14 360 and in my opinion they are the best. And you got the right color. The drive is amazing. The storage, stability and much much more. You made the right decision.

[@rickdeluca8453]

Welcome to the Hobie team. The best money I've spent well worth every penny. Had mine for 4 years now.👍

[@dennisederer3594]

Congratulations Alex. Your kayak is an investment, not a cost like groceries. You will cherish the purchase more and more. Enjoy the ride.

[@TheFishingMommy]

Awesome, welcome to the Hobie life! I’ve got an Outback and I absolutely love it, but the PA 360 will definitely be my eventual upgrade. Nothing compares to Hobie quality in my opinion.

[@TheGstvjd]

Did you end up buying it?

[@TheFishingMommy]

@@TheGstvjd no; it doesn’t make sense for me where I fish now. One day I’ll move to a different area & likely get a 360 then.

[@BASSnBEER]

I don't think there has ever been a kayak more thought out then the Hobie PA man!! Amazing yak

[@BRandomFishing]

I just bought a used Hobie compass and I can’t be happier. I can stand up, go backwards, troll, and go through the weeds like a dream.

[@waynesammyswingle6107]

I almost bought the Blue Sky Boatworks pro 360 just for the over all deck space but this is so much more practical for fishing tournaments for me. The 360 was big but I love the horizontal rod storage. There is not much you can't love on this kayak.

[@adventurewithken1961]

Interesting and useful info about the fatigue issue between the two different drives and the 360 drive. Big issues.👍

[@Jestertheimpaler]

I’m really liking the Hobie amigo. The amount of features and things you can do with it is fantastic. I’m not digging the price tag that comes with it. You made an investment and only time will tell if it was worth it.

[@theloosemoose8200]

I just did 13miles in mine yesterday, wasn't a breeze but didn't kill me either.... It's definitely smooth as silk and wouldn't go back to a bike style drive

[@chuckgilbert2035]

Great camera work, good editing, very informative. As far as the money and is it worth it. Time will tell if spending that much is worth it. For those that bought Hobie many years ago and it is still in great working order then there is the real story on value to me. Considering the resale value then that sets Hobie apart.

[@tyekolb]

Love my pro angler 14. Do yourself a favor and get a trailer for it. Can get everything ready and then back down the ramp and unload it, and after a day of fishing you can just slide it back on and pull off the ramp to get out of the way while you put your rods and gear up

[@stevenwalker232]

What a great review, literally the best review on a kayak I have ever seen.

[@kylelundy7870]

Well done video & walkthrough. Your editing was great- very enjoyable.

[@rogerloydmccoy]

Great overview man, enjoyed that and it was helpful.

[@haciendadad]

I'm not a good fisherman and I don't get out much anymore but I've gone through a couple of kayaks (Vibe and a Feelfree Moken) and I was just modifying them and spending money and finally I just sold them and I was thinking I might just get a boat but now I am thinking that a boat may be way off in the future, so I am thinking of getting a Hobie. The PA looks like it is everything a fisherman would want. Thanks for sharing!

[@aquiles2375]

Having mine for over a year now , I still love it . Need to add some light cant tell which way the 360 drive is aimed at night .

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

Love the kayak. It’s your money so spend as you want to. Nobody tells me that I can’t buy what I want to. As long as you are enjoying it yourself don’t worry what other people are saying about it. They are just jealous of you and wishing they had one. Great video and it makes me want one now.

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Awsome review bro loved it I just bought a PA 14 never had a kayak before something new for me

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

Damn that 360 Mirage Drive is awesome, the fact that you could go sideways almost like a thruster on a yacht it's crazy. I just bought an Old Town Salty 120 PDL and can't wait to try it out

[@seanphillips8009]

As a salty owner, I think you'll be happy....especially with nearly $3000 more in your pocket!

Fantastic video… loved how you covered everything. Liked and subscribed.

[@C.Adams82]

Your 100% right on a rotary peddle drive, it destroys your hips too. I fish out of a Titan 13.5 and on a long day I'm absolutely exhausted.

[@ausmus1941]

I went with the outback. Love it

[@MrBassTV]

I love my PA14, but I just bought the Old Town Autopilot for the spot lock and it’s a better fishing machine than the hobie. You will love the hobie though. It’s awesome.

[@CmoreTruth]

Very good review that’s the color I’m waiting for but in the 12’’. Thank you.

[@jeremiahaltmannsberger8914]

Looks great. Enjoy the new kayak

[@FishingWithCotton]

After watching you fish out of yours I definitely think I might give it a try really considering buying one.

[@donaldfroid7345]

Great video. One of the best if not the best 👍👍👍👍

[@kentucky_x_stream9441]

I don't have a hobie yet but plan to upgrade soon. Congrats bro🔥🔥🔥

[@PhilFryOutdoors]

Looks like a cool kayak and I would like to try one someday! However, I love my autopilot 136. I just wish more tournaments would allow it. Good luck and keep those videos coming!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

Yeah there is only one tournament around here that allows motors and from what I’m hearing they may not next year.

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

I’m happy with my Jackson, but wow.. the smart engineering of that storage is NICE! How tall is it? I store mine under my bass boat and they fit by half and inch or so.

[@Mjones8383]

Nice man that is definitely on the top tier, now the one with the mini ultrex is probably the tip top but this is definitely in the top 3.

[@dickiehoskins9835]

Best kayak out there love my pa 12

[@the45er]

This is a great review. I own an Old Town Sportsman 120 and love it. If someone was going to GIVE me the OT or THIS Hobie, I might take the Hobie. However, the only thing I really, really like about the Mirage drive over the PDL is it's ability to deal with weeds. Obviously, a propeller-driven drive is a hindrance although I've found that it takes me less than 15 seconds to free the prop when it does get fouled. This Hobie does have some great features for sure. However, it costs MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH as my Old Town. I personally can't see that much advantage but that's just me. I'm also very curious about your statement about being tired after 4-6 miles peddling your Predator. I'm 71 and I know I'm not in as good a shape as you are and I routinely fish in my OT for 8+ hours and paddle 5-6+ miles doing it. I've never suffered any fatigue in doing it. Oh well, like I said, you've got a great boat there. Stay safe and tight lines!

[@chuckgilbert2035]

I am replying to this because of the statement of the author being tired in the 5 mile range. I am 69 years old and going to do this to keep mobility. So for those of you that know is it his seat height in the OT pedaling bicycle that cause the physical problem or is it really easier to pedal the fin type drives long term? As for the 360 drive from what I have heard it is more complex therefor problematic and costly to repair. I do not own a kayak yet so not expert advise just questions. answers welcome.

[@hardrockminer-50]

@@chuckgilbert2035 I'm 71 and have a heavy 12 ft Malibu (I would not recommend it)PADDLE kayak. It's about 80 pounds without the seat. I can still load it on top of my pickup camper by myself. A 2 mile paddle at 2 mph is a good workout. I'm considering getting a lighter weight sit in for touring around with Wifey. She has a 10 ft Pelican. Cheapest Costco had several years ago. She out runs me. I can throw her kayak over my shoulder and carry a paddle in the other hand. If you're just getting into kayaking, I'd suggest renting a few, if you can, to see what fits your strength and ability and waters you will paddle. This Hobie weighs well over 100 lbs and probably needs a trailer to transport it. It's just a notch below a jon boat...

[@LeadMunitions]

Just purchased 3 hobies last week!! I got the Mirage Outback...Which i absolutely love. My wife got the Compass and my daughter got the Lynx.. I fished out of a johnboat for many years and never knew what i was missing! I think i have been on the water 10 out of the past 14 days 😄 So glad i made the investment for myself and the family.

[@artharrison294]

Buying multiples is a common theme. After using an Ocean Kayak tandem for fishing with my daughter for awhile, she finally proclaimed she wished her own boat. Having found ourselves off shore a number of times, I had confidence in her track and x-country legs to get her home with the then new Hobie Mirage peddle boats. Walked into the dealer intending to buy one for her, walked out with two, pricey at the time, but the enjoyment of the numerous trips we’ve had are amount the memories of my life and the expense would have been worth it even if doubled or tripled.

[@phoofster]

What microphone did you use for this video? I am really impressed with the audio in this video. I have been watching kayak review videos all evening and a good microphone makes a difference. I appreciate your detailed review of this kayak. I am 6'6 and 270 and not sure which kayak would be best for me. From looking online and looking at many pictures, it looks like the kayaks with a trolling motor in front of the seat have the most room for my super long legs. Thank you for the information.

[@TheWatchMker]

Nah I got mine 3 weeks ago and I spent maybe 40 hours on it.... and it’s totally worth it. I have a bass boat and this for sure will get a ton of love

[@stevemuniz1508]

Hell yea I’m still saving for a hobie!!

[@bio7021]

Great review.!

[@corporalcarnage8398]

That thing is sick dude 👌

[@CrazyCranker]

If you got the duckies and you want the best then the Hobie 360 is where it's at. If you want value, it's hard to beat the Old Town Predator PDL @ $2599.

[@keithpowell2786]

Love the new Kayak, I am in the market for new kayak, currently fishing a Jackson big rig but as you said age is moving in, my biggest problem is getting from the seated position to the standing position, can’t find any seat height risers so I was wondering on the 360 how is it getting from the seated position to the standing position? I’m like you I’m 6.3 about 260 and it is a pretty good task getting from the CD position to standing so stable ability and ease of standing would be my next two main concerns in buying a kayak . Love the channel and thanks for your input

[@TheBuilts2k]

Can you make a comparison video detailing your thoughts between the Hobie PA and the Old Town Autopilot? I’m in the market for one of them and be nice getting it from someone that’s used both

[@clemp3010]

This was high on my list, but because I had to buy 2 boats, I went with the old Town Sportsman 120 PDL. 1 for me and 1 for my wife.

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Nice yak always keeping it real

[@LowellFrancisco]

Awesome kayak!😀👍

[@weshunter1796]

To give folks a perspective on someone who has had a Hobie for a while, I have a 2017 Pro Angler 12 that I estimate I have over 600 miles on (200+ in 2021 so far). The Hobie gear is expensive, but one big plus in my book is that it is all very well engineered and constructed. All the little details in the kayak are well thought out and rugged. I think you could beat the crap out of it and have a hard time breaking anything. The stability and comfort is also great. Other than the cost, the only other downside for me is the weight. I exclusively use mine from my dock where it lives full time and don't spend any time hauling it around. If you were trying to load this onto a car top all the time, I suspect it would get to be old pretty fast.

[@williambrown4086]

Thanks for the thoughts. im looking to buy a pro 12

[@markcordero786]

I can't love you more than my Old Town.

[@Jus10worsT]

Ok Morgan lol

[@ACFDB2]

360 drive is great but it is a relatively new technology and I've had some issues. Hobie took care of the issues, but I had two 360 steering failures. I think I had some bad belts or something. Been working well after the repeated repairs and part replacements, again while under warranty and they were on it.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I actually asked about all the issues before buying. Hobie has made a bunch of changes to the drive since the initial release.

[@Austin_Torres]

Nice Video I hope you Will do a follow up after some TOW with that Large Kayak.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

After two tournaments, a river float, and a couple of plinking around trips - it is still as awesome as I thought it would be. Mirage drive is so silly efficient, it feels like your peddling a kayak half the size. 360 is clutch, you can do some crazy stuff with it. Make the kayak move in ways I didn't think kayaks could move. Down side it is one heavy mug. I think a lot of that will be remedied when my H-Cart comes in.

[@EricCommon]

def not a waste brother, I loved my hobie pro angler!

Thanks! No. No but it is allowed in all tournaments. Thanks for taking time to watch!

[@geneboswell2050]

Awesome kayak bud! What do you use for an anchor?

[@lucassnider5357]

Im curious why you aren't going to add electronics to it. Hobie has some great technology making it super easy to add fish finders. If you're fishing tournaments you already know how much that could help you. Overall thats awesome though, I just got a new outback about a month ago after fishing out of a Native pedal drive for the last few years. You're absolutely correct in how efficient the mirage drive is. Keep up the good content!!

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I've always been a kayak purist. I like the simplicity of a kayak and when you have to worry about batteries, graphs, wiring, etc it takes away from that for me.

[@chuckgilbert2035]

@@AlexRuddFishing I really like this answer, I don't want a electronic advantage on nature. But then again I am not in tournaments for money

[@ibezag0]

My biggest issue with the hobbies has been the mirage drive in shallow water….the old styles that don’t have the 360 or kickdown feature

[@MrCpalombo72]

Honestly, it was never a big deal for me. You just put the flippers up and do small flutters to move. I never had an issue. And while it is possible to bend a fin, I never did and I regularly had my 280 lb self and 60lbs in gear on it.

[@willjunkin732]

Very nice kayak. Not sure what the scag is or if I typed it right. Joker looks nice and wide and stable. Maybe one day I'll have one. Good thorough walk thru 👍🏻

[@AlexRuddFishing]

It's essentially like a skeg on a boat. It just helps the kayak to track well.

[@yakfisherman1250]

Hey buddy, would you please share your opinion and experience after a year of use? I am thinking to get one, but some problems with the drive for some people give me some concerns.

[@ledforthehead23]

Good video. I am anxiously waiting on my PA 14 since April 2021. What's the deal with running no fish finder, especially fishing tournaments? I find that interesting, but I know it would save a G or more. Tight Lines!!!

[@moneyyang]

Would like to hear your opinion on the ap120 vs hobie 360

[@chuckgilbert2035]

I would think the big difference would be the seat. Hobie has so much more adjustment for comfort , I love the idea of the autopilot , it can also store fishing holes or even take you back to launch point if you do not know the area. With spot lock you have 360 steering too , just do not have to pedal

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

I’m digging it Alex, looks nice and the amount of storage space is crazy. Do you happen to know if the 180 drives are inter changeable with the regular drive that doesn’t come with reverse?

[@AlexRuddFishing]

They are not. It’s completely different tech within the kayak itself.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

@@AlexRuddFishing ah man that sucks lol. Oh well, hopefully my wife takes a liking to the regular hobie I have so maybe I can get me a 360 in a couple years

[@PoptartFps]

Be careful if you ever capsize it be mideful of entering from front . I learned my leson dam near sunk mine front hatch fills with dam water so fast its crazy .. enter from back ..

[@elieggborn7478]

If anybody says a hobie 360 is a waste of money, then they’ve never used a hobie 360. Hands down best kayak on the market

[@bridgelaurie9490]

I borrowed one for a week and still preferred my native 13.5 not gonna lie. But I could go either way honestly.

[@Mjones8383]

IDK the one with the ultrex is imo top dog but this is probably the best non motor driven.

[@LTOutdoors]

How do you feel with the drive vs the OT pdl drive? I’m considering upgrading from my OT PDL to the 360 but the drive with my old knees is what concerns me.

[@Adventures101.]

So how do you compare that to the autopilot 120 . Which do you like better and why

[@figueroa2191]

That what my choice originally was. I watched 1,000 videos on the hobie PA 14 360 also on the old town AP 136. I chose the Old town. But I’m not going to lie I still want the hobie haha

[@brianlee9074]

Do you have an update regarding the use of your hobie PA 14 360??? ... Have you encountered any break downs? Are there any down falls? Do you still like it? I'm super curious..... Though its my first choice, Im on the fence about buying one because of that price tag.... Thanks

I've had a pa12 360 for a year and it's an awesome kayak, but...I've already broke a belt for steering the 360 drive and now the drive fell apart, the bearing rods all fell out and now I'm waiting for a drive replacement. I'm not sure the drive is of the highest quality or design, but it's awesome when its working correctly. I do not abuse or push the boat hard, but I have fished a lot of hours in the year that I've had it. I'm hoping Hobie has made some updates to the 360 drive, because I've read lots of comments online with other people having the exact same issues with their drives and belt. Hope your kayak holds up.

[@AlexRuddFishing]

That was the first question I asked before getting the kayak. Hobie has resolved every issue from the initial run of boats. They made a lot of adjustment to the drive, belt placement, gear case. Several other things.
