My New Fishing Kayak is a 2022 Hobie Outback!

My new fishing kayak is a 2022 Hobie Outback! Let's discuss two things in this video. First, why I chose to upgrade to a 2022 Hobie Outback from my 2019 Hobie Compass. And second, the modifications I've made to the stock 2021 Hobie Outback in order to make it an efficient kayak fishing machine! Normally, after spending 2.5 years in a fishing kayak, it's not easy to switch to another kayak and feel at home! Will that be the case this time? Let's find out. Let's go see what we can catch!

// ABOUT ME
My name is Ron. I was bit by the kayak fishing bug, and now I'm an addict. Follow me on my journey through the marsh on my hunt for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. On the hunt to get my fix I'll share what I've learned, the locations I fish, and the techniques and equipment I use, and I hope to learn from your comments as well!

Thoroughly enjoying your content. Very well expressed and easy to listen to. Great work!

Outbacks are THE boat. Not too heavy, perfect width/length and stability. I have a 2017, I think it was the first year with the reverse. They have made great improvements over the years. Got me thinking about selling mine and upgrading. Another plus is they hold value. Congrats on yours.

The Outback is a great compromise between a Compass and a Pro-Angler. The variety of fishing scenarios it allows make it, perhaps, the best all-around fishing kayak that Hobie offers. Only better fishing kayak out there is the Hobie Adventure/Tandem Island, which simply gives you a tremendous speed and range advantage. But they are a lot more money.

I just bought the exact same color Outback. The wants and needed mods just made the Outback a no brainer. Thanks for the review and giving me some ideas. I added the H-bar for some age related stability issues.

Great upgrade!! For a serious fisherman, the outback is the way to go. And for a guy that lives in skinny water all day long, you are going to love those kick up fins. I can only imagine how many times you had to bend those rods back into shape. My 2020 is doing great. I added the Scotty cup holder and a hatch in the front. Looking at the Boonedox rudder and the cockpit padding kit. Very happy for you my friend!😎

[markwickham]

Hey, I really have enjoyed your fishing videos. I hope you continue to make more.

[SetDaHookFishOn]

I got The pro angler last month and I love it. Enjoy your new boat. Awesome!

[damionguy]

Great video! I just upgraded my 2018 Compass to the new 2022 Outback and I am loving it so far!

[johnthomson]

Hey, Ron. Nice kayak. I considered a Hobie, but I went with the Wilderness Systems Recon 120HD because it seemed to have better stability with a higher seat (important for a geriatric like me). I had a chance to fish with a friend who has the Hobie Outback and observed that it was a bit faster with better maneuvering in tight spaces and could go into shallower water with the fins than I could with my propeller down. I am looking forward to watching your next video catching fish in the new boat!

You are a winner bro💪, New Kayak🦈... congrats!!

[FishingwiththeOz]

Congrats and great choice for a new kayak. You will love the kick up fins along with the ability to stand with more ease and confidence.

[eliseo]

Great review brother! I just get the outback 2022 today can’t wait to take it out 😊😊😊

[Toasty_]

I think the (Bridge Mount) you showed us would also be awesome to use with a fish finder.

[scottmays]

Great video! I just picked up my new outback the other day. This video completely justified my purchase…at least that is what I will tell my wife. Can’t wait to try it out!

[cjRUSH]

Great Job. I have the older Outback and want to upgrade for the reverse drive and ambi steering notwithstanding the track rails and space. Your review was very good and convincing. Go Navy!

[anthonyvespia]

Congrats, on the new vessel. Love the flake they put in that white color. I'm loving my 2021 120 pdl, I received in July. Have all my new needed, accessories for her this winter. She's put away on her cart. So now I can fish through you, this winter. 🙏 🎣 Be safe my friend..

[douglascardone]

Just picked up the same outback yesterday. Got it in camo. I'll probably be seeing you. I fish and live near the same water as you. Tight lines my man.

[NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

That is one sweet boat! Your rigging was really well thought out. Congratulations!! 👍

[joannericci]

Congrats on the new yak! Very nice upgrade for you. Fish On!!!

[araldf]

Wow, what a good explanation while driving, pedaling and fishing. Congratulations for this video and analysis of the products. I already subscribed to your videos.

I know you use late model kayaks, but because of how well you do your mods, I'd like to see a video of some hull repairs as the ones I've seen from other people aren't entirely convincing.
