Outback or Revolution or Pro Angler 12? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

i would think the outback is more versatile . i have not used a pro angler but would like to demo one . right now i have a revolution . i sacrificed stability and space for a little more speed . at one point i had both yaks and wish i had kept both . if in the future i own a second kayak , i would probably choose the pro angler , but i think you are limited on the conditions in which you could launch . i know a few guys that do this on a daily basis that are exemptions of the rule . but they also have years of experience kayaking and surfing , and make everything look simple . the dimensions of your previous or current kayak are or were probably similar . with that in mind , i would choose the outback , unless you are fishing mainly lakes and or bays . goodluck .

Weight and maneuverability are also an issue. I have to load this thing solo on top of my car lol.
