"Super super nice"

[@ecofishingshop]

Hard to contain genuine praise as it comes! The Hobie Mirage Outback has a lot of super nice features, what can we say!?

[@Sn-tk8rq]

Good thorough review. Cheers!

[@ecofishingshop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeffreycarter3066]

This review was really really super!

[@ecofishingshop]

Sometimes, super is just the appropriate term for a superb fishing kayak.

[@shawndickmann8215]

I used to fish Lake Michigan in this same rig, super stable and smooth. Great kayak.

[@ecofishingshop]

A Hobie Outback on the Great Lakes? Awesome! What were you catching out of it?

Show! I from Brazil! Its kayak is very nice!!

[@jasonpinatello1400]

That was super super. Can you do a review of the Wilderness Recon 120 with the 360 degree swivel seat?

[@ecofishingshop]

We will take this into consideration and try to get one out on the Wilderness kayaks overall!

[@joekocher2604]

Do you feel cramped when your getting gear out or measuring fish on a board?

[@ecofishingshop]

Great question. It comes down to your own height sometimes, but the Outback looks sleek, but actually has quite a bit of space once you are inside of it.

[@joekocher2604]

@@ecofishingshop thanks man, I appreciate the response.

[@pa1264]

Very nice kayak they cost $4000 in Australia 😂

[@azazelone905]

They cost 5000$ in Canada. + and added 13% tax. 😂

How stable for 245 lb man 5 ‘11;

[@ecofishingshop]

Very stable! I would say if you’re tournament fishing and loading it down with gear, the Pro Angler would be better with it being a 600lb capacity. The Outback is a 425 lb capacity. But ideally the more weight you put on it the more stable it gets!
