Shopping for an angler can be a daunting task. YakAttack Team members have put together their top picks of YakAttack products to help you choose the perfect gift for the kayak angler in your life.
- Leverage Landing Net, 12" x 20" Hoop with Foam Extension- There is no better feeling than catching the perfect trophy fish in the Leverage Landing Net. That's why the Leverage Landing Net is one of my favorite YakAttack products it ensures I never have to tell the story of "the one that got away". It gives me complete control to capture that trophy fish while adhering to humane catch and release practices. The net material is harmless to the fish and hooks remove easily from the net without snagging. The only thing to do once the Leverage Landing Net seals the deal is smile for the camera! - Eric Schrock
- VISICarbon Pro- Whether you are in lake or in out in the middle of the ocean, day or night the VISICarbon Pro allows you to remain visible to other boaters. The 360 degree LED lights and orange flag can be seen from miles away. I use my VISICarbon Pro with a dedicated MightyMount on the back of my Hobie Pro Angler or on the GearTrac mounted on my YakAttack BlackPak. The VISICarbon Pro is versatile, easy to assemble, and allows you to remain safe while on the water.- Raf Vargas
- Boomstick Camera Mount, GoPro ready- When I'm out on the water I love to shoot video with my GoPro camera. I used to be very limited on my mounting options, but now that I have the Boomstick, I can video my catch with a number of positions. The Boomstick is designed to fit perfectly and securely in a RAM plunger mount. I mounted one right behind my seat in my kayak so I can record everything that I see throughout that day. Since it is 43" tall, it gives me a wide view and captures way more than any other camera mount I've used. Once I've caught a nice fish I can move the Boomstick with ease and take photos with awesome new angels. The Boomstick is definitely my favorite camera mount on the market and I highly recommend it. -Drew Camp
- BlackPak- One of the fastest, most efficient ways to pack and organize your kayak is with the BlackPak by YakAttack. It can accommodate a number of individual tackle boxes to separate lures, hooks, weights, and soft plastics with additional space for leader material, floats, and tools. The light, durable construction and lid keep your tackle protected from sun and rain. You can even customize BlackPak to meet your needs by adding rod holders or mounting GearTrac. - Pam Wirth
- RotoGrip Paddle Holder- From time to time, products come along that change the way we do things. Often these products are out of the reach of the average individual, or require so much retrofitting and re-tooling that they end up being more of a problem than the solution they are intended to be. That is not the case with the YakAttack RotoGrip paddle holder. This is more than just a paddle holder though, as it can be used to secure such tools as a ParkNPole, Leverage Landing Net, and even the butt of your favorite fishing rods, allowing for secure placement of your gear when quick deployment is a must. I for one love the fact that there are multiple options to mount the RotoGrip, from GearTrac to direct attachment using the MightyMount. This means quick mounting on most kayaks without any additional costs, making it the perfect gift for the kayak angler on your list. - William Ragulsky
- Vertical Tie Downs- The YakAttack Vertical Tie Downs are a must have for any kayak angler. Whether you're using them to help secure your kayak for transport, securing down gear for a trip down the river or to tie down your cooler for a long day on the water, you'll appreciate the versatility of this product. Combined with various types of GearTrac the Vertical Tie Downs help kayak anglers keep a myriad of kayak fishing gear accessible and secure.- Stewart Venable
- Zooka Tube Rod Holder, Post and Spline- One of my favorite and most utilized Yakattack products is
the Spline mounted Zooka Tube. What I like best is the versatility. I can use
it with the Adapt-A-Post mount on Gear Trac behind me and simply push the
button on the Adapt-A-Post and move the Zooka forward and place into the Ram
Base with MightyMount if I want to start trolling. I keep a base on either
side and I can troll with 2 rods or simplify switch the Zooka from side to
side.- Troy Myerhoeffer
- MultiMount Cup Holder- When YakAttack says "MultiMount" they
mean it. You can put this thing in so many different places, its crazy! The cup
comes standard with hardware to mount to GearTracand most other track systems that come on most fishing kayaks today. I
started putting it on the side track on the Wilderness Systems A.T.A.K. 140 and
it was good, but then I noticed it was getting in the way of my paddle so I
moved it. Yeah, did you notice that key word there? I moved it, easily! That's
the great thing about this cup holder not only can it easily handle a bottle of
water but it also handles my big Yeti Rambler without a problem. Being able to
move the cup holder allows me to make on the fly adjustments based on what I'm
drinking at the time. Besides the standard GearTrac hardware that comes with it
I attached a camera ball to the bottom and "BOOM!" I just went from
moving it around on the track system to attaching the RAM Claw and attached it
to the seat tubing. Being able to add the YakAttack Camera Ball to it made that MultiMount Cup Holder even more
versatile. When I didn't have a drink in it I found myself putting my pliers
inside and hanging a couple of lures off of it. If you're looking for a great
gift for a kayak angler, be sure to check out the MultiMount Cup Holder by
YakAttack.- Bobby Clark
- LeverLoc Anchor Trolley- The LeverLoc Anchor Trolley by YakAttack has quickly
become one of the most important tools I use on the water fishing here in South
Florida. Even though we don't get the insane tides that other parts of the
country have, we do have some pretty intense areas. Having the ability to set
your anchor and then position the boat with the flow of the current is crucial
when targeting fish, and YA has gonna above and beyond with the release of the
LeverLoc HD with the new Stealth Pulleys. They are low profile, smooth rolling,
and very quiet. They are undoubtedly the greatest pulleys on the market and
have pushed the LeverLoc even farther into perfection. What sets this trolley
apart from others is the locking mechanism that eliminates the need for a
cleat, keeping your trolley clean and neat when setting position. When you are
using a stake out pole or a standard anchor, the LeverLoc will help "Loc
and Hold" your position. Just another way YakAttack has paved the way for
you to rig the dream on your kayak no matter where you are fishing.- Thad Day
- DogBone Camera Mount- What does every angler in the world want to do
once the catch a trophy fish? Well, the answer is simple! Take a photo of it to
earn those well-deserved bragging rights. While it is possible that you are
fishing with one of your buddies and they can gladly put the rod down to come
assist you with a photo, you should always be prepared to so on your own. My
go-to item to accomplish this task is the DogBone Camera Mount. It is nice,
simple and easy to set up. It also allows you get different camera angles
depending on your taste. Set it on a low angle to give your photos a more
dramatic feel, or set it high to allow your friends and family to get a feel of
being out there with you fishing. I personally use my DogBone mainly for
recording my videos I set it high to allow my GoPro to capture all of the
action, especially when a fish takes the bait, the rods bends down and the reel
starts singing that beautiful song we all like to hear. After I land my fish, I
simply switch cameras to a point and shot, and I am able to take HD photos of
my catches to share in social media. Another way to use the DogBone is to
simply attach it to one of the gear tracks on the side of your kayak and set
your camera underwater to get a nice and steady release shot with your kayak in
the frame. These are just some of the many ways you could use your DogBone
camera mount to capture incredible moments out on the water and be able to
share it with the rest of the world. If you don’t have one in your arsenal of
kayak fishing accessories, I highly recommend you get one as soon as possible,
I can assure you that you won’t regret it. Tight lines and see you on the
water! - Robwil Valderrey
