Two titans of fishing kayaks go toe-to-toe and show off their ultimate setups for kayak angling. Not your average fishing kayaks, the Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 360 and Old Town AutoPilot 136 are decked out and reshaping what anglers think about when they hear kayak fishing.
Johnathan Dominguez walks you through his Hobie Mirage Pro Angler 14 360 fully-loaded with TWO Garmin UHD 93sv units with Panoptix AND LiveScope, a MotorGuide Xi3 trolling motor and much more. If there is an accessory you can add to your kayak, Johnathan's Pro Angler has it!
Eco Fishing Shop Pro Staffer, Mason Brock, then shows off his Old Town AutoPilot 136. Mason rigged his Old Town to the max and still has enough room to walk around in. Armed with a Minn Kota trolling motor with SpotLock technology, Old Town AutoPilots are changing the way anglers look at fishing kayaks. See how Mason took one of the most trusted personal watercraft makers in Old Town to the next level.
