Thread: spider rigging in my yak

I'm lookin' at your bottom photo and it looks like you've mounted to the slide track system, and I like that idea.
Did you make your rod holder platform assembly or purchase it at Academy?
For my WS Ride 135, it looks better for me than any other set up I've looked at. I can always paint it red to match my Ride.
Thanks for sharing.

RRR, its actually made by Wilderness. Its call the slide trax bashboard. I think it runs around $70. Its able to slide anywhere on the kayak on the slide tracks.

How do you like the Ride? I am thinking about picking up a 115 for $675 new. Just looking to get another yak for when I want to get on the lake but not take all my gear like the Commander

I'm glad to hear Wilderness is the originator of the "slide trax bashboard", and I like everything I see about it. Got to get back to Mountain Sports
while my discount is still in effect and get me one. If they don't have it, they will order it for me. They put pictures up in the store of my WS Ride 135
because of my riggin' idea. Honestly, this is my second Ride and it is everything I had been wanting in a kayak. My modifications have made it the
most comfortable Ride ever, for me especially. I had done the seat on my 2005 model the same way, but my cousin wanted it so bad I sold it to him.
The stability is of upmost concern to me at my age and it will serve me well from now on. Until you posted earlier about your Commander, I had not
seen it and wasn't aware it was out there. Never to old to learn something new. LOL Thanks for the info, gotta google it in the images and print a copy
to take with me to Mountain Sports. Tight lines to ya.....
