Fishing Kayak Review | Viking Kayaks Profish GT
Why Choose the Viking Profish GT?
If you’re looking for a fishing kayak that combines incredible stability, clever storage, and motor-ready versatility, the Viking Profish GT should be at the top of your list. Designed in New Zealand and built tough for Australian conditions, the Profish GT is ideal for anglers who need performance in rivers, estuaries, and offshore.
Whether you're standing up to cast, paddling for fitness, or cruising with a Bixpy motor, this kayak delivers on every front.
Key Features of the Profish GT
Length: 3.9m
Weight: 27kg (hull only)
Capacity: 175kg
Stability: Exceptional—stand and cast with confidence
Tackle Pod System: Removable, customisable, and super practical
Motor-Ready: Compatible with Bixpy Jet and electric options
Made in NZ: High-quality materials and craftsmanship
This model is often called the “4WD of fishing kayaks” thanks to its ability to perform in various environments while carrying serious gear.
Tackle Pod System: Game-Changer for Anglers
The Profish GT comes with Viking’s signature Tackle Pod, a removable centre pod that doubles as your electronics station and tackle storage. With transducer scupper, battery space, and quick grab-and-go convenience, this is a must-have for any angler who wants to be rigged and ready in minutes.
🧰 Gear Tip
The Tackle Pod also makes cleaning and transportation easy — just lift it out and go! Consider keeping a spare transducer pod for quick swaps between locations.
Incredible On-Water Stability
Standing on a kayak to cast or fight a fish might sound scary — unless you're on a Profish GT. The ultra-wide hull and smart weight distribution give you the confidence to move, fish, and even land big catches while standing.
Whether you're flicking lures in tight mangroves or dropping baits offshore, the GT keeps you rock solid.
Compatible with Bixpy Motor for Effortless Power
Want to cover more ground without exhausting your arms? The Profish GT is fully compatible with Bixpy Jet motors. You can mount the motor directly on the rudder or use the Bixpy Pod Adapter.
Perfect for:
-
Trolling quietly
-
Fighting against current
-
Long-distance fishing trips
🚀 Gear Tip
The Bixpy Jet + Profish GT combo is ideal for anglers who want to focus on fishing, not paddling. Add a wireless remote and battery upgrade for maximum control.
