Affordable Mods and Customizations on My Hobie Pro Angler 14
I give a full tour of the affordable mods and DIY customizations I've added to my Hobie Pro Angler 14 fishing kayak.
What’s in this video
This is a full rigging tour of my Hobie Pro Angler 14. I start with an overview, then go through my electronics and storage, a camera tower and lighting, and a DIY livewell build using a container and pump kit.
From there I cover camera mounts and anchoring, anchor reels and other accessories, the livewell and power systems, a DIY sail and fishing light, and finally the trolling motor and seating. Parts include a Scotty rod holder, GearTracs, Mighty Mounts, a Shurline pole with a Clicksnap adapter for the camera, and a folding anchor.
