what one to buy - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Highly recommend that you test pedal a yak before purchasing.
An Outback may suffice for the bay, but you may want to test pedal for inshore conditions.

I've never taken my Outback outside the bay or lakes, since the Adventure is my main yak. Hope you find the right one and see you OTW.

You are going to find as many opinions about these kayaks as you look for or listen too... People are all different, both are great boats, you give up something you just have to learn what is more important to you.
Speed.... Kinda Versus More room.... Kinda ha ha

Go test them and I am sure if you go out fishing you will find guys that will let you test out their boat to see if you like it.

I have the outback. Small so I can turn in the bay and get into the small spots but I can go out to the kelp to. Roomy for the gear needed out on the water.

Had both. No difference except more room on outback. The whole thing about speed of the revo..........BS.... not much if any difference there.

Possibly, the Rovo a little better slicing through the surf, maybe.

Great question. I'm looking into a hobie myself right now, and wanted some info on what owners of them thought
