Hobie Mirage Compass is the most affordable of all Hobie’s rotomolded kayaks and is also one of the lightest, which is partly why it’s so popular. 2022 models are available from SLH with MD180 KU or GT KU MirageDrive
The 2022 Model Hobie Compass differs from the 2021 model with a newly designed (lighter weight) seat and the rear rod holders are inserts rather than being molded into the hull. Currently we still have some 2021 models available that are significantly less expensive.
Given it’s form, size and performance, the Hobie Mirage Compass is a surprisingly light and stable kayak, making it a great all-round fishing platform that has swiftly become our best selling Hobie fishing kayak. It offers the best ‘per-kilogram’ overall performance in the range and is perfectly suited for kayak fishing WesternPort and Port Phillip Bays. It is equally at home in any inland waterway (rapids aside) and some of our more ambitious customers have been known to pedal them off shore in the pursuit of larger prey. Whether you want to slay the squid in close or chase the snapper out a little wider, the Compass will get you there and back with ease.
The Compass offers excellent stability for it’s dimensions, wide enough to offer good flat water stability and a smooth chine shape provides good performance in choppier conditions as well. This multi-tasking hull shape makes it a good fit for our local bays. Featuring an inverted rudder (similar to the Pro Angler series) offers a sharp turning radius, making for high maneuverability.
The refined bow shape (inspired by the Revolution series) affords the ability to reach speeds not normally achieved in kayaks of it’s dimensions. Angling-ready features include molded-in rod holders, H-Track accessory mounts and a Lowrance-Ready transducer cavity for easy and effective fish finder installations. Fitted with a breathable mesh seat at a fixed height, the Hobie Compass offers all-day comfort and an optimal pedal-stroke.
Specifications
SLH offers customers a choice on which MirageDrive they would prefer to go with their Compass. Kayakers who place a higher priority on the ability to pedal in reverse will opt for an MD180 KU MirageDrive, whereas those who prefer simplicity and or like the idea of saving money can opt for the standard GT KU drive. *Camo models are supplied with MD180 Turbo fins.
