❓FAQs

Is the Profish Reload stable offshore?

Yes – its 0.75 m width and proven hull design provide stability and safety even in rough offshore waters.

What makes the Tackle Pod™ unique?

It’s a removable, modular pod that holds your fishfinder, battery, transducer, and tackle. Pre-load at home, drop it in, and you’re ready to fish.

Can it be used inshore as well?

Absolutely – while it excels offshore, it’s efficient and enjoyable in estuaries, bays, and rivers too.

Does it support a rudder?

Yes – it is Rudder Ready and compatible with the Viking Rudder Kit.

What motor systems can I use?

It features 16 self-draining scupper holes, far more than most kayaks, ensuring superior drainage in rough or offshore conditions.

What’s included with the kayak?

Deluxe Seat, 2-piece Fiberglass Speed Paddle, Tackle Pod™, 6 rod holders, Railblaza mounts, and a large rear tankwell with bungee system.

Can I add a fish storage system?

Yes – the rear tankwell is designed to carry the Viking Insulated Fish Bag and the Viking Chill Pod, perfect for keeping your catch fresh all day.

Can I launch the Profish Reload through surf directly from the beach?

Absolutely! At 4.5m long, the Viking Profish Reload strikes the perfect balance of speed and glide, allowing you to punch through surf, cover long distances, and troll efficiently — all without becoming unmanageable in rough launch zones.

Its 75cm beam provides excellent stability, whether you’re a lighter paddler or fully loaded with fishing gear. The flared bow and responsive hull are designed to cut through waves smoothly, while the fast-draining scupper system ensures water quickly clears from the deck.

For paddlers tackling surf regularly, one of the most valuable upgrades is a set of thigh braces. They help lock you in place, lift the kayak’s leading edge in side chop, and improve overall control — while still allowing you to straighten your legs and exit quickly when needed.

Can I use the Profish Reload for recreation as well as fishing?

Definitely. While designed for serious offshore anglers, the Reload is also an excellent choice for recreational paddling, expedition trips, and even hunting adventures. Its balance of speed, stability, and gear storage capacity makes it one of the most versatile kayaks on the market.

Is the Profish Reload used outside of fishing, for professional or research purposes?

Yes. The University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) uses the Viking Profish Reload in its marine research programs. Thanks to its combination of stability, load capacity, and offshore performance, the Reload provides a reliable platform for ocean-based research projects. Its ability to carry gear, handle surf launches, and remain stable offshore makes it just as valuable for scientific use as it is for serious anglers.
