The new Hobie Pro Angler (not a kayak) presents all new opportunities for rigging. It’s not like anything we’ve seen in this market and the new mounting rails that are on this boat provide lots of room for creativity in outfitting. This situation also leaves us with new questions of cable maintenance and hardware choices [...]

Hi. I’m Drew and I’m a bad parent to my Mirage Drive. It’s worked so well for so long that it’s taken for granted. Payback sucks though and my drive unit picked Sunday morning to exact a revenge. About a mile off shore the first mast came loose and disconnected. Jamming it back in held [...]
Part 2 shows how to add the Hull-a-port Pro saddle kit to the new roof rack. This is an easy, bolt-on situation that turns a boring old roof rack into a kayak moving work of art. Total install time for these was about 10 minutes and could almost be accomplished without reading the directions.
I did [...]
This is video 1 of 2 where we put roof racks on my rockin’ new Saturn (Opel) Astra. We used 50″ bars, a special fit-kit and in the next video I add the Hull-a-port Pro saddles. I haven’t been kayak fishing in weeks because the kayaks were stuck in the garage with no vehicle to [...]

Friend of Kayak Fish Nation and OEX Co-owner Brent Torgeson walks us through the steps to install a flush mount rod holder in Malibu Kayak’s new fishing machine – the X-13.
We’re putting this flushmount behind the seat on the port side. There is enough room back there for two as you can see in the [...]
This project took about 4 hours of labor, $75 in lumber and fasteners and 342 quarters in the swear jar. The original design was created by our friend, the Bassact himself, Paul Weintraub.
I don’t have a spec sheet or drafting guidelines but the pictures provide enough info you want to create one of these for [...]
Another great Hobie update – a complete fishfinder installation kit that includes a RAM mount, battery pack, dry bag and a very slick way to mount the transducer (Nate calls it “Nifty” the video…twice). In this little homespun video we go through the steps to install a Lowrance X50DS fishfinder on my Hobie Outback. Installation [...]
In this quick video Nate runs through the steps to remove the standard rudder and replace it with the sailing rudder. The new larger rudder was developed for the Adventure Island but uses the same mount as the original. The swap will give you a much more interesting ride with faster turns, easier tracking and [...]
