Is it worth it ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJONES would you say that your trident 15 can keep up with a Hobie over long distances? I got a buddy looking for a yak longer than 14ft.

Right now he is fishing out of my Revo 16 and we always cover many miles.

I don't know if you plan on fly fishing off your yak but I do it all the time- I have to keep the boat pointed into the wind in order to fly fish and I don't see how this would be possible in a non-peddle kayak. In my PA 14 I will fish regardless of the conditions, windy or not because I know I can keep the boat pointed and still keep my fly in the water.

Anyone notice a problem with the non Hobies making a lot of noise while pedaling? I hear the gears on the drives on most youtube videos and stealth is a concern to me. So I will be doing a lot more research through oex and fastlane to figure out what I want. Any info is helpful!
