Then there is the other group who doesn't want a Hobie, yes I am on the Malibu Team and I really like the Malibu's! Way more storage than a lot of other yaks, surf well, punch through the surf well, the best deck layout I have ever used and a ton of options. I am not going to put down any other kayak manufacturer I just want to state that not everyone wants to pedal around!

I ride a Hobie and agree with everything all the other satisfied users have to say, but sometimes I feel a little guilty. When I am out fishing, I often feel like I am cheating a bit. The Hobie hardware just makes it easier to get the job done.

That said, I am outfished every day by guys on other types of kayaks, so its surely more about the talent in the yakfisher than the vessel he, (or she) is riding. Some of the best yakfishers I know ride a traditional kayak by choice.

As much as I love my Revo, I have tremendous respect for those who have figured out how to effectively fish from traditional kayaks.
