Purchased the Stainless Steel Sprockets in May 2024
Wow - Just WOW! I’ve been kayak fishing since 2014 and I’ve gone through 3 mirage drives. I wished I could have just replace the sprockets on those, but no one was making them at the time.
The sprocket on my 4th mirage drive gave out recently and I stumbled upon one of Trident’s ads on IG. It was a no brainer purchase. I bought it immediately. Item came exactly as described with set up instructions that were easy to follow. I’ve gone on 3 trips so far so I can’t say much for whether it will last, but it definitely feels waaaay more solid than the plastic sprockets. This saved me a few thousand dollars. Would definitely recommend this to all kayak anglers out there!

Purchased the Stainless Steel Sprockets in Dec 2023
I've been into kayak fishing since 2012 and have seen my share of gear come and go. I've had to replace three pedal drives over the years, always frustrated that I couldn't just swap out the worn-out parts. When the sprocket on my latest drive broke, I came across Trident's ad on Facebook and decided to give it a shot. Best decision ever. The purchase was simple and the sprocket arrived exactly as advertised, complete with clear setup instructions. After a few outings, I'm already impressed. It feels much sturdier compared to the flimsy plastic ones I've used before. Highly recommend this to any fellow kayak anglers looking to extend the life of their gear!

Purchased the Chain Assembly in June 2024
Recently, I decided it was time to level up my setup, specifically my Mirage Drive chain assembly, which had been performing okay but not great. I wanted something more robust and reliable.
A good friend of mine couldn't stop talking about Trident's sprockets. Intrigued, I decided to make the investment. Ordering was a breeze, and the sprocket arrived quickly, perfectly packaged with easy-to-follow setup instructions.
Installing it was straightforward, and I was immediately impressed by the quality. After a few trips, I can confidently say this sprocket has taken my Drive to the next level.
After over 10k hours on a KAYAK we know the pain…
THE BACKSTORY
I’m Dave, and I run a Kayak Fishing charter in Singapore. 3-4 days a week since 2018, my team of badass guides brings anglers of all sorts fishing along our sunny coasts.
90% of our guests have never sat on a kayak before, let alone fished! The joy it brings when they land their first fish is second to none. But here’s the catch (pun intended)…
THE PROBLEM
With excited beginners come overzealous paddling and plenty of broken Hobie Mirage Drives. We’re talking broken idler cables, drives stripped clean of their teeth—you name it!
It's like a kayak demolition derby out there.
TRIDENT WAS BORN
After realising we were spending more time fixing kayaks than fishing, we knew something had to change. We worked tirelessly to design identical, and dare I say, more durable replacement parts.
Now, we’re offering our new and improved parts to you at a rate that’s affordable for the everyday kayak angler. So go ahead, paddle like a pro, fish like a fanatic, and leave the kayak drama to us!
