?'s about X mini...

[Will B.]

How is it to catch bigger fish on the Mini? Does it get pulled around a lot or remain stable?

It looks like you could stow a 6 -7 foot rod down thru the front hatch and drop a yellowtail in thru the center hatch?

i have both a cobra fish n dive and a malibu mini x....my opinion they paddle the same...i use a 240 cm paddle on both, i first started with a 220 paddle but its just way to short and kept hitting the side of the kayak...mini x is good if you're not gonna haul alot of stuff...
just out of the subject im selling my malibu mini x its only seen the water twice...selling it for $475, bought it brand new from oex 3 months ago...its a fish and dive package color is stone....

how many hatches you got..? I think I only want the center hatch...the more hatches the more water you get inside it seems..

It handles just like the other boats. In fact, it's almost easier to fight a fish on the mini since it is so short...you never have a problem getting the rod tip around the bow. And the mini turns much quicker than the bigger boats so I think you'd be LESS likely to get pulled over sideways.

I've never tried to stuff a rod down the front but it would probably work. The big center hatch is great and you could put a ton of stuff below if so inclined.
