The one that you can pedal to propel it. Saw one on the bass show with Hank Parker. Seems like that would be pretty good for fishing, kinda like a foot control trolling motor!

Several of us at FCKA have Hobie Mirage Drive (pedal) boats. You can paddle, pedal, or sail these babies. Love that hands-free trolling, rigging, and landing fish.

Here are a couple of links to some of my rigging mods for fishing (or whatever!).

Redbelly, the previous two posts are right on. I went to the Demo Day sponsered by Wildreness Way and tried out every kayak they had there for a brief tryout. Get there early!!!! it will save plenty of waiting time to test the various kayaks.

After the Demo day settle on what suited YOU best and then rent each for a day of fishing.

22 Sept there is a FCKA tourney and there will be lots of differrnt kayaks to see their setups and talk to the owners as well as fish the free tourney.
