Austin Kayak carries a rubber replacement for the mesh if you still have the frame. They are only $10 and are standard on the Pro Angler but can be put on any Hobie according to the ACK description.

While you're at it, the Plano 3500 Waterproof Guide Series Boxes fit perfectly in the pockets. No more rusty hooks!

I hope the pocket problem has been rectified on the new 2015 models? On my previous AI the pockets disintegrated in 2 weeks!

No current known issue with pockets that I am aware of. Maybe the elastic across the top? Not been an issue for many years.

The "Hookless" rubber pockets are #78561001

It seems amazon also has them listed as 3540. I bought a couple at West Marine, and a few more from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00469 ... UTF8&psc=1

My only issues with the standard mesh pockets is they fade quickly in the intense key west sun, but i have not had any structural issues with mine, but then again i dont fish.
