Kayak Angler Starter Crate Kit Milk crates provide interior storage areas on the deck of kayaks, canoes, or paddleboards. It is a simple solution to an ever-persistent problem in a sport plagued by a lack of storage space. The YakGear Black Milk Crate comes with the YakGear logo in a standard 13 in. x 13 in. milk crate size, fitting most kayak tank wells or decks. Having milk crates for sale also prevents kayak anglers from being forced to steal beverage distributor crates from stores or shell out major cash on a glorified milk crate storage system. The crates are honeycomb-designed to allow customization with all YakGear crate rigging accessories, including the Build A Crate Series of accessories. In addition, this kit comes with 2 x Build A Crate single rod holders and 1 x YakGear accessory pouch. About the Accessory Pouch The YakGear Accessory Pouch is an easily installed storage pouch that allows storage, protection, and organization for paddling and fishing accessories while on the water. The storage pouch is designed to secure tackle trays, extra lines, pliers, fish grips, and other accessories while keeping them organized at the same time. The 7-inch tall x 12-inch wide gear storage pouch will hold up to a 9-inch x 11-inch tackle box and other accessories up to 11 inches in width or 9 inches in height. The adjustable top elastic strap combined with the side elastic web strap provides the flexibility necessary to accommodate accessories of varying sizes while maintaining a snug grasp. This gear storage pouch can be mounted anywhere that it is needed, including on a milk crate, the side of a cooler, or on the inside gunwales of the kayak or canoe, for needed extra storage. The accessory pouch comes complete with stainless steel installation hardware, installation instructions, and rigging tips from YakGear. About the Build a Crate Single Rod Holders: Milk crates, buckets, and coolers provide interior storage areas on the deck of a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard; however, these storage methods do not have any exterior storage or rod holder features.   Rig the exterior of a preferred storage area with the YakGear Build A Crate Kits to fully maximize all storage possibilities. This single rod holder kit provides any paddler with a rod or anchor holder that easily attaches to any storage container with inside access. This allows the paddler to efficiently take advantage of storage space in a sport where extra gear is at a premium and free space is hard to find. The rod holder is 12 inches long and features trigger cutouts to properly rest and secure reels. As always, this complete kit comes with all stainless steel installation hardware, installation instructions, and rigging tips from YakGear. Waterproof silicone is recommended but not included. Included: 1 x YakGear Black Milk Crate 1 x YakGear Accessory Pouch 2 x YakGear Build A Crate Single Rod Holders Features: 1-year warranty

By now, the skipper in your life has probably dropped a few hints about holiday gifts. Was it the note left on the coffee pot about Articulated ABS Barrel Hinge foldable Aluminum Tubing? At first glance, one would have thought that the message was a reminder about being out of coffee filters. Then it comes back to you that there was a conversation in the car about GemLock Assembled Folding Struts.    Foldable aluminum tubing is one of the hottest trends in stainless steel hardware for marine canvas and solar panel frames. The tubing offers versatility in styling, high quality, and ease of use. https://www.clrmarine.com/462m4/manufacturers/g/gemini-marine.html   Back to your captain's holiday gift list. Was there a subtle hint, while you both were swimming off the boat, and your skipper showed concern that the transom ladder seemed a little short by a few steps? She would find getting out of the lake sooooo much easier if she didn't have to reach her foot up so far to the lowest step. She had also mentioned a discussion with other boat captains about the Extend Your Step, an easy-to-use boat boarding ladder extension. Several of her sailing buddies already have them and raved about the ease and portability. .   All of the products mentioned above are available at CLR Marine.com. How confident are the folks at CLR Marine about the Extend Your Step regarding ease in boarding and extending the ladder length? This product reflects the confidence and integrity of CLR Marine's owner, Chuck Reed. He invented the Extend Your Step! When shopping for the extending ladder, be sure to check out the Extend Your Step Three – a longer and non-moving version of the Extend Your Step! https://www.clrmarine.com/Boat-Boarding-Ladder-Extension   It's possibly time for your captain to give the best seat in the house – on your boat- an upgrade. There is no better place to watch the glint of the sun on the waves than in a stern perch seat. Stern rail seats are now available for older model boats, even pre-1993, and the seats are removable. https://www.clrmarine.com/sternperch-seats.html     Stocking Stuffers   Floatable key rings. If you are old enough to have keys, then you are old enough to lose keys. House keys, boat keys, car keys – when these fall into the drink and aren't retrievable, your boat outing takes a turn for the worse. Car key fobs are expensive to replace. Neon colored strong straps or carabiner clips offer added security against key loss. DryCASE Smartphone Case   The DryCASE waterproof cell phone case keeps your electronics protected, whether surfing, paddle boarding, or canoeing. The DryCASE uses vacuum seal technology to ensure a watertight seal every time.
