Some foot action! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

A popular answer is going to be to go test out a few kayaks. I went from a paddle kayak to a hobie outback. Both are fun, sometimes I do miss paddling though.. Some of the new paddle kayaks have really cool features that hobie's don't have. There are some pros and cons to each. Never used a native but they seem really cool. Being able to go in reverse easier seems pretty useful. Good luck.

I agree with the being able to go in reverse statement. I saw someone do that fishing in around the docks for bass and I must say I would love to be able to do that in my mirage

Does anyone here own the Native that can attest to how well the Pedal function works in reverse and just as importantly going forward?

I love my mirage drive, but what I wouldn't do to be able to simply go in reverse sometimes 👍🏼

Benichi has the slayer propel 10. He loves it for the bay and it is for sale right now too.

Thanks Airborn

I took a look and I don't know if I could drop down to a 10 footer. But it is intriguing

I would love to hear from a mirage drive owner who has spent some time with the propel drive and see what thier thoughts are on It.

I'm curious to know if it can keep up with a mirage drive on a long Pedal. I know my mirage drive can get up and go and is easy to keep a steady pace for long distances. I just wonder if the propel drive can match the same performance.
