@darrengibbs2290 2 года назад

Another great review. I have been following your kayak reviews to help me decide on what will suit me to get around the Hawkesbury River from Brooklyn out to Pittwater. With the help of your reviews and my own research I've narrowed it down to the Hobie Mirage Compass for my fishing set-up. It's going to be the perfect kayak to get me in and around all the oyster leases and flats and also enough of a kayak to get out and around Pittwater for a little more open fishing. I really enjoyed your NZ fishing trip series, so great action and your reaction to the shark was priceless lol. Keep up the good work.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Thanks mate! I really rate the Compass, it will suit you well. Yeah I was definitely a little scared on that one.

Awesome vid and review as always Byron.... I upgraded to a 2021 Hobie outback and I love it. So stable and easy to peddle/steer, it get's used on PPB and my local (Werribee river) and is brilliant on both. Always gets the job done no matter what the conditions. Super easy to load on the roof for a family holiday or sneaky weekend with the boys. Good luck everyone, cheers. Mark

Love these review videos! I upgraded my cheapo kayak to the compass based on your review of it. It is simply amazing! I use it in Port Phillip Bay. It's been out in some rough chop and some strong wind. Never felt unsafe, never felt like tipping. Cuts through the water smoothly. Simply cannot recommend it highly enough.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

I’m so pumped about that comment. The Compass has to be my favourite kayak this year. Absolutely awesome dude! Thanks for letting me know man

@munchiegoat 2 года назад

@@ByronTeaHill no worries. I hope more people get on the compass. It really is the best value for money kayak on the money. The main selling point for me was that it is still light enough to get on top of the car without any hassle, whereas an outback (which I was originally going to buy) would have needed a trailer and space to store it. and, my god.. the turning circle. THE TURNING CIRLCE!

Hobie Outback is my kayak of choice. I had a 2012 Outback and recently upgraded to a 2021. Super stable, plenty of storage, great features, many ways to customise it, and is manageable for car-topping. Mainly fishing estuaries and lakes, but have taken it offshore and it's very capable 👍

@heathergallagher8086 2 года назад

Thanks for the review! Got into kayak fishing in the last couple of years. Started with the passport 10.5 then upgraded to a new outback this year. LOVE the outback, especially with the recent hack of adding the Lynx h-rail. But it is just too darn heavy. We go out on Lake Mac almost every weekend and it is a killer on my bad shoulder So upgrading to a Lynx in November (thanks HWS!). We are also buying a pop top so concerned about weight on the top of it. Yes the Lynx won’t be as great in the wind but I hate the wind anyway. Thanks again for your honest reviews!

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

My pleasure Heather. Looks like you’ve jumped around a little between kayaks. The guys at HWS are awesome, the lynx will help with the weight for sure

@willhurst1487 2 года назад

Another great review Byron. Love your videos! I used to fish from a passport 10.5 but decided to sell and recently upgraded to a brand new outback. I loved the ease of loading and unloading the passport however i wanted a more comfortable platform to fish from and the ability to fish locations i would not be game taking the little passport to. I enjoy targeting bass and mangrove jack in the gold coast rivers and creeks but hoping to broaden my horizons with the new outback.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Great to hear! Glad you upgraded from the 10.5, it would be chalk and cheese compared to the outback!. Entered and good luck dude

Another great review. As always full of great unbiased advice,and heaps of enthusiasm. I’ve only been fishing out of a kayak for about two and a half years,had an awful experience with a kayak that was far to small for me and capsized. Learnt a lot from that !!. Your reviews led me towards purchasing a 2020 outback ,ITS CHANGED THE WAY I FISH. I’m based in Canberra ,I mainly fish lakes,but when the world allows I like to hit batemans bay and Jarvis bay. Decked out with all the toys (most have been purchased from HWS . My fish finder is a lowrance hook 2 , I bought it because that’s what the budget at the time allowed . I mainly use it to check water temp ,depth and speed. The opportunity of an upgrade would be sensational and be a game changer for my fishing. Thank you again for the reviews,keep them coming. Good luck to whoever is the lucky winner of the fish finder. Tony

There is just no better feeling than being on the water at that golden hour as the sun comes up, at least if you don’t catch a fish you have that sunrise photo 😂 given the chance I would ultimately love to upgrade to an new outback and unlock the stability and comfort that Hobie is known for🤙🎣

Thanks for the great review 👍 I Love my Hobie Outback for fishing rivers and lakes but it is heavy to handle, and I have to tow it around on a trailer. At 20kg I think the Lynx would be a great and much easier alternative fishing and touring platform and be able to roof top it when towing the van.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Great review Byron as always. I love my Compass Duo and so does my family. I can go solo or take a mate with me and its so versatile to use especially when you have done the mods on it. Only gripe would be the lack of dual steering especially for the price you pay for them.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

yup I hear you. we are spoilt in other kayaks with the dual steering hey!

@troybrown6430 2 года назад

Well done Byron - great review. I have a PA14 360 and a 2019 Outback. I must admit the Lynx appealed for travel, but I just can’t see it replacing either of my current kayaks. The PA14 360 has amazing control and is just plain huge, but in strong wind/tide, it is hard work. It’s also horrible off the water 😂. The current Outback shape is still my favourite and I believe the best all-rounder on the market. It cuts through the chop, is super stable, has the most intelligent layout for fishing I’ve seen and is far easier to handle off the water. It’s not quite as stable as the PA14, has less overall storage, lacks the MD360 (oh, it only!), but in terms of handling and usability, it can’t be beat. When the water gets really messy, surprisingly I prefer the Outback to the PA, as it just feels safer when you’re busting through messy conditions. I’ve had the Outback in conditions which would worry me in a large boat, but never felt unsafe. As I fish bays, rivers, creeks and dams, I need the ultimate all-rounder, so if I could keep only one of my kayaks, I reckon you know which one I’d keep!

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Hey Troy! Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate. I agree that both those guys are well suited for the rough weather. Personally I go the other way and like the 360 in the bad weather, I just like being able to rotate the nose. Anyway mate, tight lines - always awesome to see you on here!!!

Hobie outback is my dream kayak for fishing in the local lakes and estuary. Great review.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Good choice! thanks Connor

@freshairfishing8367 2 года назад

My fav is my PA14 which I got 2nd hand from HWS. At the time I could never have afforded any hobie brand new. Best move I ever did. Peace of mind knowing it was coming from hws. Usually take it out in estuaries. I think I’m one of a few who car top a pa14. I really don’t have a problem doing so. Thanks for the Lynx update. Keep up the good work.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment mate! The guys at HWS are legends, pumped that you’re enjoying the water on the 14. It’s a great kayak

Byron, just recently hooked up on your videos and they are by far the best getting around for the content you cover. I own a Pescador pilot which I guess is a bit of a poor mans Kayak in the pedal market but gets me by. Hobbie outback would probably be me go to if I could afford it. I own an old model Lowrance sounder which identifies structure, however unfortunately doesn’t capture waypoints. I fish open water in Perth but will soon start exploring our river systems. Keep up the fantastic videos dude 👌🏼.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Mate that’s an awesome thing to say, thanks buddy. I hope you find the channel. entertaining mate. Open water on the west coast would be awesome to fish!!!!

Awesome video mate! Was very interested to see your thoughts on this kayak as it’s. very unique design. I love my PA14 battleship, given I fish mainly estuaries but I’m very keen on trying a new outback to see how it feels.

Thanks legend. Head to a dealer that does on the water demos and you can give the outback a test!

i love the Hobie outback's. one of my friends has one and im so jealous of it. me and my dad slog around in this old $500 crapbox kayak that we've had for years and although it has done the trick and to be fair has lasted forever, i am starting to get sick of my mate just casually pedaling past us at a rate of knots haha. keep the vids going Byron. defiantly seeing an increase of quality lately and especially in the NZ videos...

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

@collinbryant3294 2 года назад

Hi Byron. As always a great honest review. Keep up the great work. I have a PA14 360. I use it everywhere. Lakes for trout, rivers for Bream and trevally etc and even been off shore catching southern bluefin tuna. So in my opinion the PA14 is the best all round kayak. The only down side is the weight of them.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Right on, Thanks Collin!

After watching your reviews I recently got the Hobie Compass and decked it out with gear from HWS(great service) The compass is perfect for me and handles high wind conditions along Sydney rivers well

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

They are legends at HWS mate. Absolute legends.

@jessethompson5932 2 года назад

Great clip again bud ✅ After having a good run on my PA 14 purchased from HWS loving it but just a bit to big and bulky and not slim line enough for me . I opted to jump onto a new outback 21 and there is no turning back. So compact so slim line and light I feel a lot more on the water than a bob on top of the water as well as faster. And a big plus for me is the kick up fins and power pole mount already built into the outback and the steering handles are basically flush with the body instead of sticking up above as the PA does . Love it so much 💥

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Hey Jesse, you're right theres a bunch of differences between the kayak. would you believe I'm cutting a PA14 vs Outback video as we speak! Glad your enjoying the Outback legend!

@stephenlatimer1428 2 года назад

hey Byron. probably my fav way to fish is to walk the skinny water for bass n cod n doing so u r minimalist fishing, obviously. as i said before i am not into kayaks, but i do c a use for this Hobie Lynx in that form of fishing. as u have stated in the review(👍as always)it runs in a couple of inches, really lite for portage wen needed in that type of fishing n there is no storage. because of the minimalist fishing u dont need storage n even wen u do camp its minimalist as well in that fishing style, as we do. i think this cud be my first kayak, research time. i love this style of fishing because its so refreshing from the bass boat n all that stuff thats goes with the Nitro.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

That bass and cod is a real area I’d love to take this kayak and do a little of bit of exploring with. Thanks for your thoughts buddy, really enjoyed the read. Tight lines mate

awesome review on the new lynx , was waiting for this review...... I own a hobie 2019 outback , I find it suits me better as I can still roof top it and still have all I need for my type of fishing , I mainly fish in Lake Macquarie .... but I think the Lynx will suit some people particularly those who are worried on how to transport there kayak , the Lynx is light weight which will be a plus for some people

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

You’re definitely right there dud, perfect for the type of person looking for lightweight transport. Entered and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@alessi1973 2 года назад

Recently moved from a pro Angler to a Dura Ecilpse 12 for my fishing. I am not as young as I was when I purchased the Angler 10 years ago. Hence the weight when placing on top of car was a problem. Though not the norm way to fish I have become acquainted with the setup and allowed me to continue fishing in my local area of the George's River.

@matthewfielden8972 2 года назад

Great review Byron! I’d love to get my hands on a PA14. The Lynx looks like an awesome platform for the skinniest bass and cod water that is hard to get to - at 20-odd kgs you could take this into some real wilderness.

Hi Byron, I do a lot of offshore fishing and have a Revo 13 and an Outback. I had a PA 14 but sold it as I was sick of having to trailer it everywhere. I also found the PA was a bit sketchy in the bigger swell compared to the Revo 13. Awesome review of the Lynx.

Hey Byron, great review. I'm saving up to upgrade to a Hobie PA. I Currently have a generic 3 meter kayak that's done me really well. i'm ready for the upgrade to a pedal powered kayak and this has given me some thought. Think i'll stick with the Hobie PA as my goal but may settle for the outback. My mate just got an outback and i'm hella jealous. I'm hitting the lakes as soon as i can get of lockdown - blue rock/eildon/Upper colliban/Wendouree for trout. great job mate keep it up.

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

Hey Jeremy, awesome to hear you are upgrading dude! PA is the bees knees in my opinion. So cool. Thanks for getting involved mate

@mathew4588 2 года назад

Iv fished out of a 2019 hobie outback for the past year which I absolutely loved ! But watching your tournament videos made me so keen on giving the competition game a go so I upgraded to the 360 pa14.(which I pick up tomorrow 😍) The reason I upgraded was just for the extra space for the live well and I absolutely love the rod storage ! Of course I can’t go past the 360 manoeuvrability also. I mainly fish St. George’s basin chasing bream, although recently iv been hooked on chasing Jew fish up at Lake Macquarie!!!!

@ByronTeaHill 2 года назад

You will love the 360! Particularly being able to just spin on those flats at the basin and not cut up 20m when you want to move on a flat. Great choice IMO! Hope to see you around mate!
