YAKATTACK Omega Pro Rod Holder with LockNLoad Track Mounting Base

Super easy to undo and store away. Very good quality and its pretty stable. Honestly worth the money do to how easy it is to use. YakAttack for life.

I purchase a couple to place in the tracks behind my seat. Very solid construction. I use them in a straight up position when I stand and fish so I can quickly and quietly change to different rods. They are also great for trolling to the side at an angle position away from the kayak. The rods lock in so they aren't going anywhere. I thought they were a bit pricey when I ordered them but when I got them I can see that they are quality and heavy duty construction. It's nice that I can remove the holder and the base that connects to the track stays in place. I also like that you can reposition on the base with out taking them completely off. They go on the base fast and easy. These rod holders are perfect for my needs.

I'm new to YakAttack products, and found this in a review while looking for recommendations on rod holders that would elevate my fishing pole to get the fishing pole out of my kayak so they'd stop rubbing on my legs. This rod holder does the trick. But I felt it was a bit pricey for what it is. I ordered one anyway just to try it, and found that there's more to love about this design than just the elevated adjustable neck. I also love the YakAttack quick-release, quick adjust mount. It's amazing that I can just squeeze the base and make quick adjustments to my rod angle without having to physically lift the unit out of notches, as with all the other mount types. The fact that the rod holder can't physically fall out if my kayak tips over is great, but it's also easy to release and remove the rod holder in one swift movement with a single hand. In short, it's the perfect kayak rod holder, and thus well worth the price. I promptly ordered a second one for the other side of my kayak.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Pretty solid rod holder for kayak fishing or boat using a track mount system. I am happy with its strength and adjustability in the two pivot points. This makes it better than most entry level rod holders. My wish list- if the stem of rod holder was about 6” taller in height so it keeps the rod butt further from leg in most commonly used application on a kayak. (See photos below with Kokanee rod mounted for trolling) Ease of use: Easy to snap into place and tighten with track system. Sturdiness: Feels strong and will not wiggle if on a solid track mount system that is not plastic. Plastic might wiggle a little. No problems troll fishing for Kokanee, trout, land locked coho. I have not been able to test on big salmon or steelhead yet.

Works great with my Hobie Lynx and I use it for trolling all the time. It's stable and easy to adjust and take on/off. I plan on getting another one soon for the other side of my kayak.

After using a cheaper brand of rod holders, I upgraded to the YakAttack Omega Pro rod holders and haven't looked back. They are very sturdy, despite having a single track mounting point. I can attest to their strength after trolling and landing multiple 20+ lb freshwater drum. The Omega locks into the rail and will not spin or bend. I also really appreciate the design of the holder that facilitates multiple types of rod/reel combos. I, personally, have never needed to lock a rod into place due to the snug fit. And while the fit is secure in the Omega Pro, they are surprisingly easy to remove when a fish is on. The Omega Pro rod holder is the perfect compliment to your fishing kayak.

Now I’ve been through more rod holders than Aunt Patty’s been through divorces, and let me tell y’all—this here YakAttack Omega Pro? She’s the one. If this thing had a heartbeat, I’d take her to the county fair and win her a funnel cake. First off, installation was so easy even my cousin Ricky (who once duct-taped a trolling motor to a pool noodle) could’ve done it. Just slap it on your track, clickity-click with that LockNLoad system, and BOOM—you’re fishin’ more secure than a possum in a pie safe. The adjustability? Lawd have mercy. I twisted and turned this thing every which way 'til it looked like it was tryin’ to pick up satellite TV. You can angle it, raise it, tilt it, and it still locks down tighter than Grandpa's mason jar of pickled okra. I took it out last weekend and landed a catfish big enough to qualify as a missing Florida resident. This rod holder didn’t flinch. Meanwhile, I was hollerin’ like I won a scratch-off.

I think it will perform up to my expectations
