The Pro Fisha 475 is the smallest kayak in our Pro Fisha range. This model was designed for speed and performance but in a smaller sized kayak to keep it lighter and a little more maneuverable. Along with these design features, we also wanted to create a Pro Fisha model that handles surfing a little easier and is more maneuverable. To do this we had to make the kayak smaller with a little more rocker, but not too small otherwise we would have lost the speed factor.
The design of this model allows the kayak to have excellent turning capabilities, a more prominent rocker for better wave riding ability and being built with epoxy resins and CNC technology which allows us to keep it super strong and lightweight. Designed for the smaller angler, we have reduced the volume of the kayak to make it the lightest Pro Fisha in the range.
Designed for performance as well as being light and manoeuvrable, the Pro Fisha have been well received around the world.
Note: Due to the nature of customizing a kayak, the weight of these kayaks is a guideline and will vary based on several factors.
The weight of each kayak is based on a plain white standard construction with standard accessories as standard. All add-ons and extras will affect the weight accordingly.
Standard features of the Profisha 475:
-
Molded Carrying Handles - These are molded carrying handles for easy transportation of your kayak. We also offer sleeves for easy grip.
-
2 Drainage Holes - One for the fish hatch and one for the kayak hull, these plugs are simple screw type and easy to open and close.

Vinyl paddle pad and elastic : A protective pad is used here to prevent the paddle from slipping when it is fixed under the paddle elastic. The paddle bungee is a shock cord with a clear tube to keep the paddle secure on the vinyl pad. The mat also reduces the amount of scratches when sliding the paddle in and out of the bungee.
-
Stickers are used to give a superior look and feel to your kayak branding.
-
Carbon Fiber Hatch Cover : The cover is made from carbon fiber to keep it lighter than standard fiberglass, as well as a little more rigid and a superior look and feel. This cover provides easy access to a large central hatch. There is also a protective pad on the hatch cover that can be used to cut bait.
-
Center Fish Door : This is a very large central storage area used for storing rods and reels when launching and beaching in rough water, and of course, as well as excellent storage for those big fish you catch. The hatch has a built-in rod pull that curves upwards so that when your rods are stowed they can be held over the fish and anything else you have in the hatch. Watch a video about it here .
-
Live Bait Well : This is a new addition to our kayaks. There is an inlet and an outlet in the bait well that allows fresh water to come in and old water to come out of the bottom of the kayak as you paddle. This constant change of water keeps the oxygen supply fresh and therefore your bait will stay alive for a long period of time. Watch a video about it here .

Stainless Steel Rod Bar : This cleverly designed rod bar allows you to place the butt of the barrel on it to keep the rods up and out of the path of anything inside the hatch. Reduce the chances of your rods and reels getting covered in slime and fish blood.

Splash Strip : This is used to secure the hatch cover to the kayak, but also serves as a preventative for waves forcing water under the cover when casting through the surf.
-
Lever Hatch Locks : These top lever lock cam straps allow you to apply maximum pressure to your fish hatch cover when securing it closed. The folding cam creates that extra pressure to make sure the minimum amount of water can get in in the hatch if you accidentally roll into your kayak.

Front Drag/Carry Handle - Carefully positioned soft molded handle to easily drag or hold the kayak when entering even take off.

Fully Adjustable Rudder and Pedal System : This adjustable pedal system is connected to a rudder with a rail system that can be easily adjusted to ensure maximum comfort when sitting on the kayak.

Cord locks on the pedals also allow you to set the pedals at the best angle to keep them comfortable.

Self-Drain Holes : Factory-installed drainage holes in the foot wells to allow for easy release of water that collects in and around your feet. There are clean covers with a small hole that complements the foot wells' ability to drain as you paddle and move forward.

Plastic Cable Caps : Small cable caps to cover the cable tubing on the rudder system, making it easier to access the cable tube if you need to work on the rudder cables.
