Welcome to the world of the Hobie MirageDrive®. The ungainly
paddle is replaced by the sheer efficiency of the pedal. With the largest human
muscle group now in play, kayaking becomes easier and more efficient than ever.
Two pedals drive a pair of underwater fins – much like a
penguin’s flippers. Whether snapping up to speed with a quick burst or
steadily covering expanses of water, the MirageDrive allows effortless freedom
and function.
The MirageDrive has revolutionized kayak fishing. How? It
has freed up your hands for fishing and allows you to fish more efficiently as
you maneuver your kayak with your feet. This efficient mechanism allows you to
go faster and further with less effort than a paddle and the entire time you can
have your fishing pole in your hands. Hold yourself in a ripping current as you
place a cast or use the MirageDrive to drag that fish out of structure like
mangroves or docks. The layout of Hobie’s fishing kayaks was designed by
anglers for anglers, and now with the MirageDrive, a new breed of fishing vessel
has emerged that is eco-friendly, quiet for stalking fish, and extremely durable
and efficient.
