“This piece of gear is as essential as as your tackle box when it comes to gearing up to catch more fish. It takes our Esquif canoe up a notch, making it easy to swap out rods when

I’ve been an avid Kayak Angler for the past 10 years and wanted a way to carry multiple rigged rods, camera & flag on my Predator and didn’t want to lug along a heavy crate. I’m currently a Johnson Outdoors Adventure Team Pro Staff Member. I’m also a member of Michigan Kayak Fishing “MKF” the fishing team that has won Worldwide Freshwater Multi-species Championship Title in 2012 & 2013.
Esquif Adirondack rod holder system gives the angler ability to transport three fly rods or conventional rods securely. Unit installed into existing rear thwart mounting area with existing hardware. These are CNC cut from H.D.P.E. plastic with unique honeycomb design keeping unit weight down without jeopardizing structural strength.

Humminbird Transducer Mount for the Predator PDL. This unit installs in seconds and holds your transducer securely in place just above bottom of kayak.

Predator 13 Rod Holder System is essential for the anglers wanting to securely carry up to 5 rods. Factory rear mounted rod holders tend to lean the rods back and to the side. This keeps the rod tips in the same area as your back cast. I have also had a rod tip get caught on a tree limb and flip the rod out of the pocket since it was already leaning back. This unit keeps all your rods straight up tucked in behind your body and out of your casting radius.
This unit is designed to be installed in minutes. Simply remove existing plates on the Predator, using the same hardware install the Yellow Dog plates. The cross tube section drops over 4 studs on the side brackets and use supplied thumb screws to secure.
Unit is made out of H.D.P.E. plastic and the removed honey comb design keeps the units weight close to 3 pounds and does not affect the integrity of the plastic. Each plate is precision cut on a CNC mill and assembled in Michigan. Kit includes the three tube cross section along with two new side plates with integrated Scotty #244 flush mounts. Scotty mounts can hold numerous accessories from Yak Attack VisiPole, Camera Pole and Rocket Launcher Tubes.
