New kayak/rigging ideas?

[basspilot]

Finally just picked up a new kayak from Jon over in Fairfield at the kayak fishing store. It definitely took a while to pick out the right one for me as I already have one, but that was a failed attempt at saving money. Got myself a redfish 12 so hopefully ill start rigging it out this winter for some open water trips in early spring or even possibly a warm winter day. So does anyone have any rigging ideas that you feel are essential? Im already looking at putting on some rails for a fishfinder mount, flush mounts, rod holder up front, and possibly a rudder.

congrats, good luck with it!
i would recommend that you take it out a few times before you start adding things to it though. you would be disappointed if you mount something in an area that your hand needs to move through while paddling, etc.

Can't go wrong with the usual rod holders, paddle holder, fish finder, camera mount (I use a GoPro camera mounted next to my fish finder), anchor trolley and anchor, etc. I mounted a milk crate behind me for more usable/secured storage. Lots of guys cut pieces of PVC and mount it to the milk crate to be used as rod holders.

Check out KFS Kayak Fishing Stuff . Com.
No longer a store but a very informative site kayak specific.
I do believe the original shop was owned and started by Jon.

I'm a big fan of slide tracks. They give you all kinds of options. I use Scotty stuff, and their new "gear head track adapters" make it easy to set rod holders(or any other accessory) at any angle or location when ever you want.
Also, if you plan on installing a fish finder, the way to go with installing your transducer is using Duct Seal. It's like $2.50 from Home Depot and has performed better than any epoxy i have used.

Jon S. has been a great resource also.
