I haven't been in the seat market in a long time, so I don't know any makes or models. But make sure you get a high back seat with a good amount of padding and proper adjustments. The guys at OEX will make sure you get exactly what you need.

That's a great seat for that price IMO. As far as the rod holders on the back of the seat does anyone use those? Mine has them and I've just never felt comfortable with a rod in them, although I will put my gaff in there if need be.

I agree and I think that most will use those pockets for gaffs and boga grips, pliers, etc.

Flush mount rod holders can be added at relatively low cost.

When I had my other Kayak I've used the those rod holders in the seat at Mammoth Lakes while trout fishing' I pack a small plano box with trout gear trout rods in rod holders and I'm off fishing. No need for crates and all that other stuff.
Makes for easy set up and the ultimate "travel Lite" set-up especially if your car topping the kayak to a lake or between lakes.
