Description
Viking Profish Coaching Mastery
A dedicated 1-on-1 kayak fishing coaching experience with Paddle Guy (Jason Milne), tailored around your Profish setup, your skills, and your fishing goals — inshore, bay or offshore (conditions permitting).
Sessions are scheduled by appointment, based on coach availability and weather windows.
Flared bow design
Punches through surf and adds stability in choppy waters.
Front bungee storage
Secure your dry bag, rods, or extra gear with heavy-duty bungees — quick and easy access when launching through surf.
Large oval hatch
Perfect for stowing a dismantled kayak trolley (like the C-Tug), camping gear, or larger items safely inside the hull.
Adjustable footrests (Front & Rear)
Both paddlers can adjust footrests for comfort and efficient paddling.
Center Hatch / Tackle Pod™ Lite (optional)
Pre-rig your battery, sounder, and tackle at home—then drop it in and go. No messy cables, no setup stress. Fast, clean, and ready to fish in minutes.
Comfort seat wel
Ergonomic design for long sessions on the water.
New Molded Handles
The latest Viking Profish 400 introduces integrated molded side handles — a first for this model. Unlike older versions that relied on bolted or strap-style handles, these molded grips are built directly into the hull, making them stronger, more durable, and more ergonomic. They provide a secure hold for car-topping, or maneuvering the kayak solo, reducing flex and wear over time.
6″ Viking Dry Storage Hatches
Waterproof hatches with built-in containers to keep tackle and gear dry.
6 x Flush Mounted Rod holders
Flush-mounted rod holders for versatile fishing setups.
Railblaza Ready Star Ports (Accessory Mounting Points)
Mounting points (Star ports) ready for Railblaza accessories such as rod holders, lights, or camera mounts.
2x Paddle Park Holders
Secure holders to keep your paddles in place when fishing or resting.
Large Rear fish/gear well
Spacious tankwell designed to fit a Viking Chill Pod, fish bag, crate, or even motor batteries — versatile and secure. You can also add an extra seat so your kid can join you for safe, easy fishing sessions in calm inshore waters.
Rudder / Motor Ready
Fully rudder compatible and easy to motorize. Add compact systems like the Bixpy electric motor on the Viking rudder blade for the most efficient setup, or choose other options for longer range and power.
Electronics-Friendly – Larger Transducer Cavity
The Profish 400 now features a larger transducer cavity, making it easy to rig even with today’s oversized side-scan transducers. Designed for modern electronics, it provides a clean, protected install with tidy cable routing, ensuring your sonar setup performs flawlessly in all conditions.
Why you’ll love it
■ Lightweight hull – easier car-topping, beach launches, and long carries
■ Agile & stable – confidence close to rocks; efficient glide for trolling and covering ground
■ Wind-savvy bow – low profile reduces windage; tracks cleanly with optional rudder
■ Generous internal storage – direct in-hull access for cameras, food, and safety gear
■ Electronics-friendly – large transducer cavity (side-scan capable) & tidy cable routing
■ Optional Tackle Pod™ Lite – pre-rig at home; at launch just drop in and go
Surf, wind & real-world performance
Beach launches are absolutely doable: the Viking Profish 400 Lightweight Fishing Kayak accelerates fast to punch out through the surf, and its fast-draining scuppers clear deck water quickly. Expect a wetter outbound in steep sets due to the low bow, but enjoy a very fast, controlled return on the way back in. In wind, that same low-profile bow helps reduce weathercocking compared to taller-nosed kayaks.
Electronics & rigging made easy
The Profish 400 accepts modern side-scan transducers with neat cable management. Pair the kayak with the Tackle Pod™ Lite (optional) to house battery, sounder and tackle: pre-load the night before and you’re on the water in minutes.
Generous storage & rigging options
A large rear tankwell with bungee system provides room for Chill Pod, bait tanks, or Viking Insulated Fish Bag. The bow hatch adds more expedition storage, while in-hull access points keep gear dry and secure. With 6 flush-mounted rod holders and multiple Railblaza-ready StarPorts, you can customise your setup for trolling, live bait, or fly fishing.
Surf, wind & real-world performance
Beach launches are absolutely doable: the 400 accelerates fast to punch out through the surf, and its fast-draining scuppers clear deck water quickly. Expect a wetter outbound in steep sets due to the low bow, but enjoy a very fast, controlled return on the way back in.
In these real-world conditions, many paddlers choose to add kayak surf straps (thigh braces) to stay better connected to the kayak, improving control, edging and confidence when launching, landing or handling side-chop.
In wind, that same low-profile bow helps reduce weathercocking compared to taller-nosed kayaks, while thigh braces further enhance stability and directional control.
Motor and rudder options
Add the Viking Rudder Kit for finer tracking and cross-wind control. The stern layout also allows integration of compact electric motors (e.g., Bixpy, Asiwo, Newport, Minn Kota, Watersnake) with suitable adapters—ideal when you want extra range without losing the kayak’s lightweight advantage.
Fish Storage Options for ProFish Kayaks
For Viking ProFish kayaks, there are two main fish storage options: the Insulated Fish Bag and the ChillPod. Both work extremely well — the best choice depends on how and where you fish.
- Insulated Fish Bag: lighter, more flexible and easier to manage during beach launches. Ideal for surf conditions and long pelagic species like Spanish mackerel, tuna, wahoo and cobia — which is why it’s the preferred option for many Australian offshore anglers.
- ChillPod: offers superior insulation and sealed storage, keeping fish cold for longer and allowing clean transport straight into your car. Best suited to calmer conditions where surf handling is not a concern.
Recommended Add-On: Rod Leash (Essential for Kayak Fishing)
💪 Built for paddlers who drop things.
One small wave, one slippery grip — and suddenly your fishing rod belongs to the ocean.
The Kayak and SUP Stainless Steel Rod Leash is designed to stop that from happening. Built with a marine-grade stainless steel core and a UV-resistant protective coating, it’s made to handle saltwater, sun, and sand — exactly where gear usually fails.
- Keeps rods, paddles, nets, and tools safely attached
- Lightweight, flexible, and fully saltwater-safe
- Stretches when needed and retracts neatly to avoid deck clutter
🎣 Gear Tip: Clip your rod leash to a Viking nylon saddle, RAILBLAZA WebEye 30, or any secure D-ring mount for a clean and reliable setup.
Why we recommend it:
After 15+ years in the kayak fishing industry, we’ve seen it happen countless times —
most anglers lose at least one rod before realising how essential a rod leash really is.
Simple, tough, and easy to forget you’re using — until the day it saves your rod.

❓FAQs
What’s the difference between the Profish Reload and the Profish 400?
The Profish 400 is essentially the lighter, more maneuverable version of the Reload. Think of it as a hybrid: agile and responsive for inshore use, yet still capable offshore. It’s easier to car-top, requires virtually zero maintenance, and offers vibrant new plastic colors with the same trusted Viking build quality. Thanks to its modular design, upgrades are simple, and you can even add an extra rear seat for taking your child out on calm waters.
What’s the main difference between the old Profish 400 and the new model?
The new Profish 400 brings significant upgrades:
A large front oval hatch replaces the smaller 6-inch round hatch, creating huge storage capacity for trolleys, camping gear, and more.
A redesigned lifted and sharper bow, similar to the Reload, improves handling in choppy water and surf.
Moulded side handles make lifting and carrying much easier.
A larger transducer cavity allows installation of today’s bigger fish-finding technology.
Is the Profish 400 only for fishing?
Not at all. While designed with anglers in mind, the Profish 400 is a true hybrid kayak. Its mix of stability, maneuverability, comfort, and storage makes it just as perfect for fitness paddling, coastal adventures, camping trips, or simply enjoying time on the water. If fishing isn’t your thing, the 400 still delivers a smooth, reliable, and versatile ride — a premium sit-on-top kayak for anyone who values performance and quality.
Does it support a rudder?
Yes – it is Rudder Ready and compatible with the Viking Rudder Kit.
What motor systems can I use?
The Profish 400 can be powered by electric jet motors fitted on the rudder, such as Bixpy or Asiwo U1. Alternatively, you can install other electric motors using a transom-mounted bracket, giving you the flexibility to choose the setup that best suits your style of adventure.
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.
Does the 400 take large side-scan transducers?
Yes. The hull has a generous cavity designed for modern side-scan units, with a clean cable route so installs are tidy, protected, and professional.
