OK RodPod hatch cover upgrade - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

old_rookie · 02-15-2011, 02:52 PM

Anyone know of the availability of replacement rod pod replacement hatches for the OK Tridents? I like the idea of storage the is easily accessible. Reaching around behind me for something quick gets a bit old.

I have them at OEX Mission Bay.

$94.95 for the new "Modular Fishing Pod"

Call me with a CC and ill bring it home with me to save you the trip to PB from Santee. Im up off the top of Carlton Hills, little shorter drive for you.

Wow - talk about a fast response...!! That would be great, I'm up the hill from Pinnacle Peaks. I've seen a different pod cover that is thicker and has room to store tools or whatever - does this one open up for inside storage? Not inside the yak, but inside the pod cover itself?

The difference from the old rod pod and the new Mod Pod is the construction. The new mod pod is injection molded rather than roto molded so it is much stiffer and gives a better water tight seal. It also has spots that you can put a scotty rod holder and is pre drilled for other accessories. You can no longer use your gear tray from the original rod pod. And to answer your question there is no storage in the hatch itself.
The much better seal alone makes it a worth while upgrade, in my opinion.
Hope this helps

Thanks Jim, Didnt look like there was any secret compartments on this thing but without opening the package I wasnt 100% sure.

No secret compartments, but I've found it's easy to attach bungee to both the top and bottom of the Mod Pod for holding tools and lure boxes. And Like Jim said it's more rigid so you don't have to worry about it buckling if you sit on it.
My only small complaint is that the Scotty style rod holders don't lock. Although they are plenty snug.

But your answer was better because he can get it local.

Or you can support the people that bring you this great site instead of our biggest competitor...

Ill even Price-match for you.

rogersmith · 02-15-2011, 03:16 PM

not to pile it on, but I strongly suggest supporting the OEX crew. Through two kayaks, a paddle board, several paddles, untold accessories, they have never steered me wrong on price or service!

I wish I could install one on my Prowler 15. I'm saving up and will upgrade to a Trident 15 someday. I like the Rod Pods.

Siebler · 02-15-2011, 03:32 PM

yeah that would be the Modular pod. Has Scotty deals built into it. Doesnt look like it has any internal compartments though, just all sorts of little holders and such.

Im here today and tomorrow and can bring it home with me like I said.
