Hobie Mirage Outback Fishing Kayak
The Hobie Mirage Outback is one of the best-selling fishing kayaks worldwide. One of the most versatile and complete kayaks you will find on the market. The perfect blend of length, width, and hull design allows it to excel in any environment. Easy to transport and store opens this kayak to more individuals than ever. What sets this kayak apart from its competition is Hobie’s revolutionary MirageDrive 180. This easy-to-operate system provides you with full power. Forward and reverse control changes how you fish and your overall kayaking experience. The Kick-Up Fin technology keeps you moving in and around cover, not limiting your exploration. The heart and soul of this kayak is the Mirage Drive 180, and you won’t be disappointed with the power and performance it provides.
One of the benefits of this kayak is its stealthy nature that allows you to locate and chase those finicky fish. The sharp bow on this kayak slices through the water effortlessly, preventing hull slap that creates commotion and unnecessary noise. The width of this kayak provides premier stability and plenty of space within the cockpit area. Built to withstand the gear and equipment anglers need and want on the water. Also allows for complete customization to add everything you’ll need for your fishing expeditions. Whether standing or sitting, you will have complete control; the EVA deck pads at the bottom provide grip and comfort when not engaged with your MirageDrive. You’ll find the Vantage CTW Seating to be one of the most comfortable seats on the water. Whether you like to sit high or low, you have complete control with the 4-way adjustability. Coming standard with a spring-loaded rudder and dual rudder control with dual steering handles. Much like the kick-up fins, the spring-loaded rudder deflects and kicks up when coming into contact with an object. It’s out of the way, so it won’t interfere with your fishing.
Regarding storage and accessories, the possibilities are endless for the Mirage Outback. The cockpit and cargo area offers various options and features to make your day on the water as simple as possible. You’ll find storage options available to you at the bottom of your feet with the rectangular hatch that will house tackle and accessories at a convenient location. The removable bin allows you to bring it up and out when needed. A large hatch located on the bow is perfect for a dry bag as well as any spare items you want out of your way. On each side, you’ll find the Hobie H-Rail with the integrated Hand Track. This mount offers endless options for track accessories or H-Rail accessories. Perfect spot for your scissor’s pliers and tackle boxes as well. There is also access to your waterproof plugs for an additional fishing finder you can add. This is part of the Hobie Guardian Retractable Transducer Shield, which allows you to deploy your transducer and retract it when needed. Located on the side of the kayak you’ll find the two bungee points ideal for holding your kayak out of the way and off to the side of your kayak. A large cargo area will house your fishing crate, livewell, or kayak cart easily and securely with the bungee straps. With utility trays on each side and more H-Track Deluxe on either side, you open more options for storage and customization.
The Mirage Outback is ready for wherever and whenever you want to put it to the test. This well-rounded and customizable kayak gives every angler a little of what they need and want. From the MirageDrive 180 to the angler-driven design, you get the most bang for your buck.

When providing a kayak that can be used in any environment, there is no need to look further than the Hobie Mirage Outback Fishing Kayak.
MirageDrive 180
The Hobie MirageDrive 180 is an efficient, durable drive that features forward and reverse. Designed with high-end components to withstand fresh and saltwater and the obstacles you will face in both scenarios. The glide technology reduces friction in the drive providing a smooth and powerful peddling experience. One of the ultimate tools of the MirageDrive 180 is the Kick-Up Fin technology. This revolutionary design allows you to come fin to fin with obstacles in the water without slowing you down. When you come into contact with the bottom, rocks, and stumps, the fins will easily kick up and lock back in place so you can continue peddling. These durable square tip fins slice through the water swiftly and effectively, getting you where you need to go. Operating and adjusting the 180 Drive is simple. To adjust your peddles, press the buttons at the top of the cranks and slide forwards or backward for the most comfortable fit. To engage forward or reverse is as easy as pulling the red reverse shifter or the green forward shifter, as easy as that. Installing your 180 Drive is as easy as dropping and locking it into place. There is no need for extra work and hassle with hardware or other tools. With the right technology, Hobie has created a kayak all anglers will love. Simple to maneuver and navigate, experience the Mirage Drive 180 for yourself in one of the finest kayaks on the market.
