Thanks Kai Yak, thanks for the comments. Yeah, I get real sick of reaching around behind me to pull the rod out, have since added another rod holder on the right hand side of Yak (on the deck) by my knee. Please post a pic of your setup, keen to view.

Yeah, it takes the mule about 30minutes to do 5k with a couple of yaks on the cart and that's if he doesn't get stubborn and go the wrong way. If you belt him too hard he takes off and the wheels fall off the cart. Our biggest problem is getting the ice from Auckland, sometimes we have to wait weeks for it to arrive. |

Most guys carry their yaks on the roof of their cars and I slide mine in my toyota Hiace van. I actually have this Willow 55l chilli bin but unfortunately it would sit really high on the swing as it does not fit in the rear well area. The pod does heat up in summer and im using a coolie bag inside it now. Im keeping a chilli bin back in the van with salt ice for my fish when I get back in.
Was wondering about a Penguin kayak coolie bag. Would this contain all blood n guts ? Or shall I just wait untill the new Prowler 13 comes out |
