[@aaanglers]

What is your favorite kayak accessory?

[@cirilodavid3333]

My hook reveal 7ts and my twin (Penn 6500SS and 8500SS made in USA reel). It's like im flying a plane and fishing at the same time. :) Just got my PA 12 360 and started enjoying Sydney Harbour.

[@kayakfishingpuntacana9816]

Very good advices. I bought mine, and I am rigging it to fish in the ocean. 😊

[@Carl001M]

Thanks for the review ,You've convinced me I need one .....

[@aaanglers]

It’ll change your life!

[@blindsquirrel]

Fish finder. It has opened up a whole new fishing experience on the kayak. I really like the Hobie PA...maybe some day. For now I’ll continue to customize what I have

[@aaanglers]

Absolutely, fish finder changed everything!

[@davidlynrivers804]

Look up Louisiana custom kayaks for your kayak pad needs .

[@BruthaTuck]

Great vid. Had the same issue with landing but I did the bunjee mod with my wheels and it helped tremendously.

[@aaanglers]

That mod is awesome!

So last year i bought a 2017 Hobie PA 12. I bought it used if a lot of accessories. Fish finder, Bixpy, beach wheels etc. for 3k i couldn’t pass it up. My first kayak is/was a old town predator. I love the old town but i wanted a pedal drive to get around further. I few things i noticed. For one, you still get tired even using your legs, but you do get around faster and you can stay put without picking up the paddle. The next thing i noticed was the old town is actually faster. The PA12 feels like a barge in the water. I went out with a guy who has a Hobie Outback and he was super fast in his kayak and he seemed more stable. I feel safe in the PA12 but not with the seat in the high position. All in all I’m happy with the PA12. If i was to do it again I’d get the Outback. Either way, I’m looking forward to the spring to get back out there. I’ve never seen a video with anyone criticizing the Hobies they have. Does anyone else experience what i have ? Maybe i haven’t been in enough kayaks to know better .IDK

[@Henttari]

You said that you didnt feel safe with the seat in a high position...I am thinking to purchase PA12, and this is important really feature for me. Can I ask what is your weight and height?

[@lloydboone7185]

@@Henttari I’m 6ft 250lbs I’ve been out a lot more since i post this. I still kinda feel the same way, although i haven’t tried to raise the seat up again. There’s been a few times I’ve been out on the PA12 and my back started hurting me. I’ve been told by others that it happens when you’re out for hours at a time on this kayak or any other one. I still feel like the Outback is a faster kayak. You loss some space but, not much. If you’re not moving over a large area in your kayak, the PA12 is a good choice. For long distances i think an Outback would work better

[@Henttari]

@@lloydboone7185 Thanks Lloyd, this was really important to me! Have you tried PA14, is it more safe in high seat position?

[@lloydboone7185]

@@Henttari No, i haven’t. The PA12 may be okay in the high position, i just wasn’t use to it when i first tried. Maybe if i tried it a few times i would’ve gotten use to it. Maybe it’s just my balance. The Old Town kayak i have , i ride it in the high position all the time. To me, it doesn’t feel tippy . Maybe if i got use to the feel of the PA12 in the high seat position it might not feel so tippy.

[@Henttari]

@@lloydboone7185 Yeah its always harder to get used to more "unstable" kayak than vice versa - thanks again!

[@cirilodavid3333]

I think you are rigging your PA for a week trip in the water. :) Nice video though

[@chaditudefitness5075]

Favorite accessory. Beer cooler.

[@aaanglers]

Me too!

[@delawarehiker]

you can get those "Hobie" Electric connectors from amazon.

[@aaanglers]

Good to know, thanks!

[@stevenorby9945]

Use the bungee cord retractable set up for your wheels

[@aaanglers]

I’ve seen some videos on that, thanks! I ended up adding the boomedox landing gear after this

[@FishingFreshies]

Sick Vid!!

[@rachelburlingame3993]

Nice!

[@aaanglers]

Thanks!

[@Carl001M]

How many times if ever have you flipped it ?

[@aaanglers]

Never, and I have actually tried.

[@denniswalters9528]

Do you transport your hobie on the roof or truck

[@aaanglers]

Truck bed

[@roseyaw]

Haha I’m not gunna sell this and upgrade to the 360! Oh yes you are! 🇦🇺

[@aaanglers]

lol, did you look at newer videos or guess. Had to happen lol.

[@mariaarnold5011]

Where would you keep a fish once you catch it?

[@aaanglers]

Stringer or cooler in the back if im going to eat it

[@yaklife2687]

Do you prefer the 14 now ?

[@aaanglers]

Definitely

[@shajudeenshajudeen3436]

How much the kayak india rupees

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I've been paddling for about 8 years now. I'm saving for a 360. I've had enough of paddling.

[@aaanglers]

It will change your life lol

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

@@aaanglers dude I can't wait.

[@Carl001M]

So I've got a chance to pick up a new 2019 PA12 Dune colored for 3000 ?

[@aaanglers]

Sounds like a good deal! Ask if they’ll throw in some hobie accessories or give you any other discounts

[@Carl001M]

They are taking 10% off of hobie accessories so the h-bar ,h/d cart ,cover and they'll install the fish finder do you think it's a good deal ?

[@aaanglers]

Yup, that’s a solid deal. But you should double check and see if anyone around you is selling a used one with the h rail syston it to be sure this is the best deal. Used is still a great option

[@Carl001M]

@@aaanglers Been looking for a pa12 for months they don't seem to come up for sale as often as the 14s ?

[@aaanglers]

@@Carl001M makes sense. Always worth a double check. but if that's the case I would go with that new deal you found!

[@cindyharding574]

How tall are u in that thing?

[@aaanglers]

The seat has a high and low setting. The high setting has the seat about 18 inches off the boat. So pretty tall

[@cindyharding574]

No..how tall are you?

[@aaanglers]

Lol, oh. I’m 6’1”

[@robertpalma9176]

What's this, It looks like an egg,???
