Based on the huge success of the Compass, Hobie have followed up with the inevitable tandem model. The Hobie Compass Duo is now the most popular Hobie tandem fishing kayak in the range

Hobie Compass Duo Mirage Pedal-Powered Fishing Kayak

The Hobie Compass Duo replaces the Outfitter model and offers more speed, stability, carrying capacity, better performance in choppy water and is a better kayak in every way. The Hobie Compass Duo instantly became our best selling tandem pedal kayak, offering the sweetest spot in terms of price, weight, features and performance.

With better all-round stability and carrying capacity than the Outfitter (which the Duo replaces) it’s hydrodynamic shape affords more efficiency that puts it on par with the Oasis, making it a perfect fit for our local Port Phillip and Western Port bays.

Hobie Compass Duo Fun

With a simpler and roomier deck layout, the Compass Duo inspires confidence for kayak anglers, which is one of the main reasons it is so popular. Raised deluxe seats offer all-day comfort and the gear tracks provide handy mounting utility for rod holders, fish finders and more.

With a generous rear storage well and copious carrying capacity at the rear you can load up the Compass Duo with confidence. Hobie’s inverted kick-up rudder system (also featured on Pro Anglers and Outbacks) is simple to use, robust and reliable and highly responsive.

Hobie Compass Duo Tandem Fishing Kayak

The Compass Duo is most often compared to the Oasis model, both of which offer a lot of the same benefits. However SLH almost always recommends the Duo for anyone serious about kayak fishing for several notable reasons.

The Duo is a little wider, which offers a higher degree of primary stability and it’s a little roomier on deck as well. It also provides more mounting utility, with gear tracks integrated either side in both seated positions.

The Duo also has a transducer scupper (whereas the Oasis doesn’t), so not only is installing a fish finder a little easier, you’re likely to get better performance out of it as well. The Duo also has a simpler rudder system which is virtually maintenance free.

Hobie Kick-Up MirageDrives

SLH offers the Duo with 2 different configurations of MirageDrives. The standard configuration comes with 1 x Glide Tech Kick Up (MDGTKU) and 1 x MD180 drive. This configuration is ideal for most users, offering the reverse propulsion capability for one user, and a less expensive but equally efficient MDGTKU drive for the other. We also offer the Compass Duo with dual MDGTKU as a less expensive option. Read more about the MDGTKU & MD180 MirageDrive options here
