Questions on the Pro Angler 17

[monstahfish]

The 17 is great as long as you're not launching into huge surf. I would say up to 3 feet is fine and I have had it about 6 miles offshore looking for tuna with no problems. It really shines in the bays and la jolla for taking inexperienced friends out.

I don't even try to do surf launches in it, I can barely drag it over the sand when it is setup.

That said it is VERY nice for taking inexperienced anglers out. I used to have two 14's but I ended up having to chase the guests down as they had no idea on how to handle the kayak, drift, wind or locations on the GPS. The 17 makes it easy, "Have a seat, sit back and relax"

I've had mine out about 5 miles in a rain squall, no problem.

Hey Dave I saw your tank when we met at the DP ramps a couple of months back, looked custom with rounded ends to keep the bait swimming good and seemed to fit nicely in the 17.
