Hobie Cat, manufacturer of quality boats since 1968, has produced a new way to fish,
the pedal-driven Hobie Mirage Outback Fisherman kayak. This new product has taken
kayak fishing to a whole new level, placing Hobie front-and-center in the kayak
fishing market. The Outback has everything the serious fisherman needs and wants:
stability, speed, comfort and maneuverability. And it comes with molded-in rod
holders and trays, storage compartments, anchor system, a plug-in cart and more!
Powered by Hobie's patented MirageDrive
pedal system, fishing from an Outback Fisherman means hands-free propulsion with
fingertip maneuvering, effortlessly getting you to the best spots quickly and
quietly. Too good to be true, you say?
Hank Parker had his doubts 'til he fished in it, and now describes it as,
"a new way to fish in a boat that will take you to places where fish have never seen a lure"!
Join Hank Parker and many others who are discovering this unique new way to fish.

Hank Parker endorses the Outback Fisherman and has featured it on his television show, "Hank
Parkers Outdoor Magazine". After fishing for two days from the Hobie Outback,
here is what Hank had to say:
- "The amazing MirageDrive made it possible to cover many miles quickly and effortlessly,
with no fatigue."
- "The Outback was very stable, quiet and maneuverable."
- "Because of its low profile, wind doesn't affect the Outback."
- "Built to last a lifetime, the hallmark of Hobie boats."
- "Engineered and designed for fishermen-comfortable enough to sit in all day."
About Hank Parker:
Hank distinguished himself as an award-winning tournament fisherman, and quickly
became one of America's most respected and popular professional fishermen. His
professional career started in 1976 when he began fishing the National Bass Association
Tournament Circuit, winning their national championship in his first season. In
1979 and 1989, Hank won the BassMaster's Classic and was the first angler to win
the Grand Slam of Bass Fishing-which included the Classic, B.A.S.S. Angler of
the Year, and the B.A.S.S. SuperBass Tournament.
Hank retired from the pro fishing circuit to devote more time to his family and to "Hank Parker's Outdoor
Magazine", which launched in 1985, and airs on the Outdoor Life Network. Hank
was described on CBS' Morning Show as "the rod-and-reel answer to Michael Jordan,
in popularity and talent", and his cable show is among the most popular on television
today, as he continues to entertain and educate viewers of all ages.
Through the years, Hank has maintained integrity and credibility among fishermen.
That's why Hobie was pleased and proud when Hank enthusiastically endorsed the
Hobie Mirage Sport and Outback Fishermen. ...
