Thread: Show us your RIGS ...

Here's my Revo. I'm getting ready to hit the Hudson River for the Spring striper run. I use the same setup for freshwater, only with different poles.




And a rare day on the Hudson with no wind, no waves, and no fish (too common there):


My Fish finder is a Humminbird 788ci HD Combo powered by a 12V7A battery below deck in the front hatch. It is held on with a RAM mount, as are the 'rocket launcher' tube style rod holders. I mounted the FF this way to allow more sensitivity to the transducer, and an accurate temperature reading.

I like to have my poles in front so I can see them while trolling or drifting. Not pictured here is the camera mount that goes into the sail mast hole, and the night marker light that is mounted in the black rubber grommet on the rear deck.

Both rod holders have reflective tape wrapped around them as does the yak around the deck for visibility in low light situations. Wrapped around the right rod holder is a foam pool noodle to hold lures and hooks to dry off before they get put away. Most tackle is stored below deck in the center hatch.

There are anchor trolleys on both sides of the yak for the anchor or drift chute.

Everything is leashed to prevent loss through capsizing or butter fingers. The Hudson is a major shipping route, so there are some large ships that create some large wakes that can be fun in a yak.

Hard to tell which way is up
