Milk crates, buckets, and coolers provide interior storage area on the deck of the kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. However, these storage methods do not have any exterior storage or rod holder features. Now, you can rig the exterior of your preferred storage area with the YakGear Build-A-Crate Kit to fully maximize all storage possibilities. 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. All rod holders are 12" long and feature 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.
