Anyone have pics of their Yakattack gear trac setups?
Here is were Im having the most difficulty about the decision if this helps. Ive scoured YouTube and the YakAttack site and seen their products but for some reason Im confused on which types of rod holders will work for this setup and how they actually fit or what do I have to buy to make them fit on the track. The YakAttack site does a good job of displaying their products but I feel it doesn't show the final picture of complete setups with rod holders and ff and what is actually needed to attach them to the track. Maybe Im just missing something or maybe they do not want to be biased towards a manufacture. But anyhow if anyone that can share some pics and maybe even some insight on which rod holders work best with this setup that would be awesome! Im sure their is a lot of other guys wondering the same thing. Maybe the guys from OEX can post some pics of installs and setups they done to give some of us newbies some insight. I believe they will probably sell more too for the guys that haven't seen the gear tracks yet. |

I have a set I just haven't had time to put it on my yak. It looks like a very well built system, can't wait to use it.

Here's another PA14 - the day I installed them. I now have rod holders on each side in addition to the FF.

I've got gear tracs on pretty much everything but my IK at this point
Only thing to worry about: If you use RAM mounts, you don't want to run the rod off the left side of the kayak while trolling. It'll torque things counter-clockwise and, well, useless.

That's one of those things you don't think about until your Mac gets bit by a nice yellow and your whole rod holder and pole smacks you in the face lol

wow.. these look very clean, and versatile. I'll have to check them out. Do they install with SS bolts? or plastic pop rivets?

Interesting observation on the Ram mounts! I wouldnt have thought of that - good thing I decided on the Scotty Gear Track adapters - works awesome. |

Scotty Orcas/geartrack
The scotty rod holders on the gear track are the shit. Ive had rods in the holder get bit by almost everything halibut , seabass, blacks, yellows...rods going full bendo...drag peel'n... What's nice about the scotty orca is that when you get bit and your rod loads up it doesn't get pinned to the holder, just grab the rod and either twist or lift and it comes right out.
