- My buddy Luis gave me the opportunity to check out his new 2019 Hobie Compass Camo and all of the upgrades he had done on it. Luis was lucky enough to win the kayak in a raffle hosted by 956 Kayak Anglers and Fin Factory! The Hobie Compass is a great size and has open platform so you can really make it your own!

Nice rig. Especially since Luis won it. Congrats on winning. It's cool to see how every puts their own touch on their kayak. Now he need to get it slimed and bloody 😜
Your right! It's too clean 😜
he won it??? makes it even sweeter!!! wow
Its great how he modded it to have Outback and Pro Angler features onboard. I currently own a Pro Angler 14 but the thing is a tank and I already have the 2019 Outback too but the Compass is starting to make me think. Tight lines everybody 🙂
I agree! The compass meets most people's needs and is an awesome kayak! All like Luis did here you can always trick it out to meet your needs! Looking to get a 2nd Hobie pretty soon not sure if I'll get the passport or the compass. Leaning passport since it looks even easier to transport
I would ditch the H crate and get a good cooler especially during the summer it can hold your gear or throw ice in it and hold the fish
Is it stable the out back is only 9inches longer than the compass and same width 34 I believe nice set up thank you for the ideas
Nice yak! 👍🏼
Awesome video, is your kayak seat and front mesh made in us or Thailand.
Thanks for watching! Not sure my friend ended up selling this kayak and upgrading to a PA
Ótimo vídeo parabéns.mais gostaria de saber se seu amigo tem alguma dificuldade em controlar o leme?por conta das barras?
Nice upgrades im goin copy the side rails and that kit to stand up i just got my Blue slate Hobie Mirage Compass 4 months ago
Did you end up installing the H rails? If so, how difficult was it to install the rear screw?
@@BigShticks no I jumped to order a lowrance hook2 7 triple..but do still want those 21" side rail

I opted not to. After cutting out the rectangle hatch pattern I still couldn’t reach the area where the bolt would enter. I also realized that the bar would interfere with my ability to access the rudder control knob. Thanks for replying anyways!
What does he think about stability and safety in rough conditions (3-5ft) and great walkthrough!
I believe there's a lever or rope you pull that will pull the rudder up

🤘
Sweet ! Attach a lowrance fish finder game on!
I'm sure he will eventually 👍. I know I've been thinking of putting one on my yak as well. I really would like to be to see the depth changes in certain areas and be able to mark spots
I have a compass duo and it doesn’t track well downwind or in chop. Do you have any ideas on how to get it to track in a straight line better? I want to replace the rudder with the large PA rudder but don’t know how to remove the rudder
One of your Starboard side screws is loose on the stand up bar.
I'll let Luis know 👍
Good eye! Thanks!
Do you have to get the Camo to get the upgraded drive
You don’t have to. You can pay for the upgraded drive but the total price will be more than the camo edition.
Great looking yak, who sells the deck mat?
The deck mat brand is called Marine Mat. Luis ordered it from Fin Factory in Corpus Christi. I believe Marine Mat has a dealer locator on their website
How did you replace the circle hatch with the rectangle one on front of the seat? Is that an option that you can choose or need to custom order?
It’s my friends kayak but I do know that you can just buy the square hatch. You can ask the hobie dealer to cut/install it for you or you can do it yourself. I think there is a video on the Hobie TH-cam channel about it
@@MesquiteOutdoors Great to know. Appreciate the reply.
Awesome vid, what a prize to win. Do you know where he found those 2 green stands that the yak is on? What’s the name or where can I find them?
Don’t know the exact model but I would say somewhere online like ACK would definitely have them
Wow would love to win a hobie!
I know right! Lucky dog!
Does the hrail affect or make it harder to use rudder control
Sorry for the late response. Let me ask Luis what his experience has been and I'll get back to you
@@MesquiteOutdoors Sorry, was there ever a response to this question? I'm about to put an H-Rail on my compass, but wanted to know if I should install in same place as Luis did?
What are your thoughts on the compass seat? Is it to low for fishing all day?
I texted Luis and he says that he doesn't feel any fatigue fishing all day 👍
It’s the nicest kayak i have owned. With back issues I dont have an issue and standing up periodically helps. I’m sure the outback and pro angler Hobie seats are comparable if not better.
Consegui controlar o leme tranquilamente?por causa das barras?
Hello Mesquite Outdoors awesome walk through the Compass is on my radar...does the seat have a lower and higher position ? New friend here happy to connect with ya and look forward to your fishing adventures. Hope you can visit Bass Camo thanks !
Hey thanks for watching and welcome to the the channel. The compass is a great kayak! I really like it if you want a lighter kayak and don't need to haul around too much stuff. No the height is not adjustable on the seat. Heading over to your channel right now 👍
should have installed h rail behind cup holder
That....and H rail position obstructs reentry the water. Otherwise, love the thing.
Hobie needs to put a larger front hatch similar to the one you have in the front butt bigger on the Outback's to hatch they have they would have no problem with them leaking so maybe a good choice with the compass
You have the whitest and straightest teeth ever dude, wtf? lol
😂Literally Laughed Out Loud! Thanks! Definitely the most random comment I have received to date haha. Thanks for watching!
