Hobie Mirage Pro Angler   *AVAILABLE MARCH 2009*
limited quantity call to reserve yours today 866-sun-jamm

At the "OR" Outdoor Retailer show (Trade only) Hobie Cat unveiled a new fishing platform called the "Pro Angler". This model will not be available until next spring. I think it is a bit more boat than kayak. Designed for fishing, the Pro Angler includes the MirageDrive and a new rudder system. It also includes cockpit / internal rod storage to get the rods below the rail for those fishing in areas with trees and overhanging brush. There are a lot more new ideas in this boat.  Sunjammers has received a few pictures and we will be posting them here as soon as we can!

2009 Hobie Mirage Kayak Product improvements include:

"Click-n-go" MirageDrive lock-in systems
Simply place the drive into the well and it locks in place. We started this in inflatables last year. Installing the drive is now even easier and faster. You flip two levers to release the drive. The levers automatically lock the drive in place when you place the drive in the well. Simple, easy. No more locking cam knobs or cam bolt columns. This new system improves the ease of use and the drive well strength.


Rudder up/down line systems
We have gone to the Adventure Island style rudder up and down line system. Easier to use / more ergonomic function as the control lines are placed forward of the user. No more reaching to your side to find the control handle for rudder up / down function. Now you can more easily raise and lower the standard or larger sailing rudder.

New MirageDrive sprockets and masts

 
We have gone to a “Marine Grade” brass embedded piece in the sprockets to mount the masts. The "V2" sprockets are thicker / stronger at the mast connection. The masts and the insert are threaded. No more set screws to hold the mast in place. Simply dab a small amount of loc tite on the mast threads and thread them into the sprockets. These new sprockets / masts have shown a dramatic improvement in strength under high loads. This will be the sprocket / mast system of choice for ST Turbo Fin users. We have ST Turbo kits available now for the new threaded sprockets coming on 2009 models. The new sprockets are also available for upgrading older model MirageDrives.
