My rod holders are set in the rails with mounts I got from Yak Attack… i think? Anyway the mounts have two anchor points for each holder. They are sturdy enough to withstand a monster cat from twisting them out of the rail. ;) I have the holders spaced so that they do not interfer with oars.
It can be tough to fish two rods when the action starts… one hand to fight fish, one to “reel” in second pole, and another to hold the oar. Mostly I fish with one but always have a back-up ready.
Tell you what, those yaks are tempting, but guess I’ll stick with the toon. I do love the personalized access they give so you can fish just the way you want to. Just wish MinnKota made a small electric motor like the Terrova that I could afford for a pontoon. I’d love to drive using a remote control to steer and have easy speed control and consistent direction when you let go of the tiller to fight a fish. Or spot lock for when you,re over a crappie pile on Pineview. I like the toon, but hate to wear waders so new propulsion would be great!! Congrats on the nice fish and new yak usage. Sounds like you have a new source of fun. Later Jeff
after my first yak experience this weekend out there during the lincoln war times i can tell you theyre great! i do have a really bad back and after 4 hours or so had to call it a trip but im already looking into other seats 
Uh oh…Now you’ve done it. A ‘yak is like any other boat: you’ll soon be thinking “If I only had…” and that will lead to trade-ups and accessory buys until you end up with a pedal-powered aircraft carrier of a kayak with electronics, lights, and a La-Z-Boy recliner. I know, because I started with a Hobie 14’ Pro Angler just to avoid all that build-up. Gonna end up at the top, so may as well just start there!
Hey Rocky – yeah, those ‘peddle pushers’ do look like a good ride..I enjoy watching the ‘Hobie Outdoors’ program once in awhile…mine is mainly for the marshes in the Fall, so I can’t decorate it too much…maybe a duck hunt dvd while I’m trolling? I am trying to see if I can attach my old Hummin Bird Fish n Buddy..hope that works..
Hey Bob – I may be heading there Tues. tks…
