"Looks like a well thoughtout rig, sweet! What are the side tracks made out of? Do you troll with it mounted like that? Russ"

"Great job Mark rigging your new 160. I could never put all that gear behind the seat. I have very short arms that keep me from reaching into the back of my Yak. I have all my gear up front."

"The RAM rod holder has 2 pivot points so you can move the rod closer or farther from you, the Scotty can't do that. The tube rod holder keeps my reels higher from the water. Less maitenance for the reels."

"Mark, glad you like the new kayak. Karen had put up a post as well about the new kayaks but glad to see the rigging. Now I am a Scotty guy, why do you prefer the Ram?"

Hook 1's Tarpon 160

Took out the new Tarpon 160 for the first time this week. Man this kayak is sweeeeeeet.Got a good feel for where and how I wanted to rig the kayak. I like the RAM products, so that is what I'm using.1-Front Rod HolderFirst I took the bungee holders off the back track.
