Hobie Revo/Outback rod stowability for surf launches? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The Revo is faster and has a smoother ride, less hull slap in the chop=dryer ride and less of a chance of spooking

or

when sneaking up on them. The revo also slices through waves when launching in the surf.

The outback maybe a little more stable but unless you plan on standing up it shouldn't matter too much, on thing the outback does have though is more storage space.

stand up = comfort/stability

Revo, and I stand on mine all the time, it just takes practice.

Had both

Outback, slightly slower, slightly
Way more stable
Much more room for storage, mounting stuff
More hull slap in big surf.

Of the two my choice is either.
