Question for the Hobie Experts
The problem is I don't know which Hobie to buy. The price difference isn't enough to sway me either way and I haven't seen the adventure in person. I drove over 100 miles to the nearest Hobie dealer and they didn't have an adventure available. I did get to look at the Revolution. Getting a demo any time in the near future is probably a long shot. So I thought I would call on the experts for the pros and cons of each. I like my Tarpon and will continue to use it (I think) but the mirage drive appeals to me. I fished from the mirage classic one time and loved the mobility, I was to the far end of the lake in half the time. And I really liked being able to fish and keep the kayak steady in the wind without fumbling with a paddle but I had a tough time getting to my tackle. By the way, I fish mostly lakes with the occasional trip down the creeks and small rivers and maybe a once a year trip to the gulf coast. Any advice/pros/cons would be appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of a good deal on a new or used Hobie, feel free to PM me. |

Re: Question for the Hobie Experts
For the type of fishing you plan on doing most, I would go with the revo for the manueverability.

Re: Question for the Hobie Experts
Thanks for the reply kobra. I am planning on keeping my Tarpon for when I get on the creeks and rivers. I'll be using the Hobie for fishing and touing the larger lakes. I am leaning a little more towards the revolution though.

Re: Question for the Hobie Experts
Too bad you can't demo both boats. That would have been nice. Good luck. Both nice yaks.

Re: Question for the Hobie Experts
I am looking into either a tarpon 120 or a revolution. For mostly rivers would the mirage drive be worth the extra 5 or 6 hundred dollars? I plan on doing some weekend camping trips as well. I am primarily on rivers in texas. thanks!

Re: Question for the Hobie Experts
Hi reese. Yeah, I would say the mirage drive would definitely be worth it. Especially in rivers as you can hold your position in the current and have both hands free to fish.
