According to your sig, you'll like neither. Kayaks are slow.

Depends on what kind of fishing you will be doing. If you'll be making long trips, get the Hobie. However, if you think you'll be making relatively short trips (under a mile each way), I think the Adios has its advantages. For one, the Adios is under half the weight of the Hobie.

I would def go with the Pro Angler 12. That thing will be the ultimate fishing kayak.

Get a Kajun Custom, you dumbass.

The part about the Pro Angler that gives me concern is the listed fully rigged weight is 120lbs!! That will be a bitch to handle on your own. Maybe if you have a trailer for it, but even then it sounds like a pain. If I got the Pro Angler, I would also get a cart for it.

The hobie will be faster. The Diablo will be more stable.

Interior organization is lacking IMO

Example?

I know some of the guys and they work hard at making a good product. Not all the bells and whistles like the competitors, but they are a true fisherman's kayak. Enough room to bring all the additional storage you need, and they're from BR! Support the local guys.

The stability of the pro angler is unmatched, imo. It's like standing in a bass boat.

The pro angular is a frickin ship. Almost too big to handle by yourself. Plus as with any mirage drive you'll have trouble in shallow water.

Right then you have to paddle that beast and have a big clunky mirage drive on your deck. I fished out of one and was not impressed for marsh fishing.

Exactly. It's a great kayak and I'd like to fish it offshore, but I would only use a diablo, KC, or Jackson in the marsh if shooting for a good kayak and have pro angler money to spend.

Whats your time frame? If you need something soon, the Diablo is the only choice.
The new Pro Angler 12 won't be readily available until the fall.
That being said, that new PA looks nice. All the pros of the PA 14 without the con of the weight that comes with it!
