I HAVE HAD MY HOBIE MIRAGE FOR 5 YEARS, TRAVELED ON IT FROM THE FLORIDA KEYS UP THE WEST COAST TO HUDSON FL. ALL OVER THE EVERGLADES. THE BEST PIECE OF FISHING EQUIPMENT I HAVE PURCHASED IN MY 70 YEARS. THE HOBIE WILL LEAVE MY HANDS FREE FOR FLY FISHING, THE SALESMAN LOOKED AT ME AND LAUGHED, I QUOTE HIM "" YOU CANNOT SIT DOWN AND FLY FISH."" BUT I AM NOW FINDING OUT THAT MANY ARE FLY FISHING FROM THE SITTING POSITION. I CAN TRAVEL FOR 8 HOURS AND NOT GET WORE OUT, NEVER HAVE A SORE MUSCLE. ON A RATING FROM 1 TO 5 I GIVE IT A 50 WITH OUT ANY RESERVATIONS. I RESEARCH FOR 6 MONTHS BEFORE I BOUGHT MY FIRST ONE, SAW A LOT OF GOOD ONES RIGGED FOR FISHING BUT SETTLED FOR THE HOBIE MIRAGE. IT TURNS OUT TO BE MY BEST CHOICE. I CAN GO WHERE ANYONE CAN GO ON ANY BOAT, BUT THEY CAN NOT GO WHERE I CAN.
