Looking to get another yak in the spring has anyone tried the native propel drive models pros and cons?

pros: you can power backwards
con: it's not a hobiesigpic -
The propulsion force is not nearly as strong as the hobie mirage drive.
A lot of people like the natve for freshwater bass fishing and other types of fishing that don't involve a strong current. Supposedly in a strong current the native drive is very over matched.Comment

I don't think you can get into as shallow water as in a Hobie but it has been a while since I looked at a Native. I know if you hit bottom the drive will kick up and you have to set it back in place.
Going backwards would be nice but I would stick with Hobie.Jim

Type "native propel" into the search function. You will find several previous discussions.John Veil
