Make Moving Your Hobie Pro Angler to the Water Easier
A Hobie Pro Angler gives you a capable fishing platform, but moving that kayak between the vehicle and the water can add work before and after every trip. The Boonedox Groovy Landing Gear Pro Angler Kit keeps your transport wheels attached to the kayak, so you can roll your Pro Angler to the launch, stow the wheels for fishing and deploy them again when it is time to head home.
Spend Less Effort Managing Your Kayak at the Launch
- ✅ Roll your Pro Angler between the vehicle and launch instead of carrying the kayak or managing a separate cart
- ✅ Deploy and stow the wheels from the top of the kayak without flipping a heavy Pro Angler over to position a cart underneath it
- ✅ Leave the landing gear attached while you fish, eliminating a separate cart that has to be removed, carried or taken back to the vehicle
- ✅ Make solo launch and retrieval more manageable when you do not have another person available to help move the kayak
- ✅ Keep the wheels ready for the end of the trip, so getting off the water does not mean wrestling a cart back underneath the hull
- ✅ Gain additional ground clearance while moving the kayak to help keep the rudder from dragging on the way to and from the water

Real-World Performance
Roll your Pro Angler down to the launch with the wheels deployed, then swing them up and stow them on the kayak before getting underway. After a day of fishing, deploy the wheels again for the trip back to the vehicle. You avoid flipping the kayak to install a cart and do not have to find somewhere to leave a removable cart while you are on the water.
Make the Launch Part Easier So You Can Get to the Fishing Part
Keep your transport system on your Pro Angler and simplify one of the most physical parts of fishing from a large, fully rigged kayak.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Boonedox Groovy Landing Gear Pro Angler Kit
Which Hobie Pro Angler kayaks use the PA Kit?
Boonedox lists the PA Kit for current supported Pro Angler 12 and Pro Angler 14 configurations, including PA 12 360 and PA 14 360 models. Pro Angler 12 and 14 kayaks from 2014 and older require the PA Kit plus the H-Rail Spacer Kit for 2014 & Older.
Does the Pro Angler 17T work with this landing gear?
No. Boonedox states that the Hobie Pro Angler 17T exceeds the weight rating of the Groovy Landing Gear.
Do I need to remove the wheels before going fishing?
No. The wheels swing up and stow on the kayak when they are not needed, allowing the landing gear to remain attached while you are on the water.
Do I have to flip my Pro Angler to put the wheels underneath it?
No. The system mounts to the top of the hull, allowing you to deploy and stow the landing gear without flipping the kayak to install a conventional cart underneath it.
Why choose attached landing gear instead of a removable kayak cart?
The landing gear stays with your Pro Angler throughout the trip. You can deploy it for transport and stow it for fishing instead of removing a cart at the launch, storing it somewhere and reinstalling it when you return.
