April 29, 2021 By Game & Fish Staff

In this "Kayak Fish Fun" video, we take a closer look at the Hobie Mirage Passport kayak with MirageDrive GT, a simple pedal rig that can be customized to fit your individual needs.

Hobie pro Bri Andrassy shows us how she outfitted her 12-foot Passport for offshore success.

Andrassy, who recently caught a 200-pound striped marlin in her kayak, highlights her rig from bow to stern.

"I can make it into whatever I want fishing-wise," she said.
