Seriously looking to enter into kayak fishing and have a question about leg room in the PA. I'm 6'5" and have a concern that there may not be enough leg room in the PA to comfortably use the Mirage Drive system for long periods.

Any advice or experiences from tall PA users would be appreciated.

The PA is the one you want. I am 6'5 /250 and it has plenty of room. I also stand and fish most of the time and never had issues.
I have an outback that I use for short trips and my legs are very cramped while peddling. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone. I have three dealers that I will be contacting to see if I can demo the PA...we will see, and will keep you posted.

I'm 5'3 and I can't actually pedal at full extension. I may be too short.

So cool to see fish jumping into the Pro Angler. Wheee!
Sure all the accessories are neat-o, but fishing is what it's all about.
Thanks for the good footage.
