How to Install a Kayak Fishing Rod Holder

[federicowt]

you forgot to add sealant glue, so water don't fill into your kayak

[FLfisherman09]

im about to install a scotty rodholder into my 10 ft pelican kayak and i would like to use rivets because like u said it is a lot faster but what size rivets should i use?

[kayakfishokanagan]

Are rod holders normally installed behind the seat?

I have a tandem sit on top kayak. I am outfitting the rear seat (my seat) for fishing. I was thinking of putting the rod holder ahead of me, but out of range of my paddles. I have not decided if I will put it on the right side or the left side.

Advice?

I have the Scotty flush mount and the Scotty powerlock rod holder.

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[robertlphelps]

Can someone explain why almost all the kayak rod holders are mounted BEHIND the angler? I would think you'd want it mounted in front of you, not angling away from your back? The only thing I could think of is that it would allow you to sort of troll your bait. Any clarification? Thanks. Nice vid.

[dodgerlives]

@robertlphelps Trolling and paddling. You can put a rod holder up front, but if you store three rod holders in front of you how would you get a fish up to the boat without creating a horrible tangled mess?

Where can I buy a rod holder?

[raychmike]

I would silicone seal that thing in there and prevent that drop or 2 of water entering the hull.... Its a no brainer really !!

[bnasty699]

can i get a link to this product?

[stitch16261]

where can you find lights for the kayak?

[danishconsumer]

Does anyone know if I can put a flush mount rod holder in a sit in kayak because I never see them on them.

[yakpirate]

@danishconsumer sure u can. its all about finding a spot then gettin the right age and depth

[hondaryder1994]

hey i was wondering if i could have some help im 16 and i want to get a good kayak for fishing and i was wondering what type i should get

[KayakFishingTales]

@hondaryder1994  Check out our episode named 'How To Choose the Best Fishing Kayak'. That should narrow things down for you.

[dvup999j]

thanks mate!!

[nickwklassen]

so why not seal it with silicone? smaller seal does not mean water tight

[KayakFishingTales]

@nickwklassen Sure... if you seal it with silicone it will be ultra water tight. There's nothing wrong with doing that at all. I don't because it's one more (messy) step, which I believe is totally unnecessary. All you're preventing is a drop or two of water from entering your kayak (if that).

[meforgodforall]

@nickwklassen I totally agree. Though it's true you would just be preventing a few drops buy using silicone I still do. Make sure you use mold resistant. Also if you use only as much as you need (perhaps a marble sized about) you eliminate any mess. Either way you go works just fine. Great videos guys.

[superCam25]

do you know where i could find the exact same one you are using.

[KayakFishingTales]

@superCam25 Kayak Fishing Supplies has a great selection of gear, and staff that can help you find the right piece.

[BurningNightPranks]

"I like it small cuz I have to force it in..." that's what she said. lol.

[jetmea]

@BurningNightPranks HAHAHAHHHAHAHA

[jermlac]

why would you not use marine goop? it's like $3 for a tube that will cover any holes you ever want to put on your kayak? 3 stars for poor advice.

[kennarly]

Why would you use marine goop if you didn't have to? It's GOOP! With that logic, you could argue that plastic welding is the only reasonable solution. But... if you would rather put oversize holes in your kayak, which you then have to seal with GOOP... that's your biz.

[RadRan69]

Right on Jim,

Jim I have a question about using and not using some sort of glue with the rivots and or screws. Now I know it's my choice but i've seen alot of vid's and there using glue glue glue. I'd rather save the money. Could share your thoughts on my question? Nice yak I have a trident 15 angler being shipped right now to via Bass pro shops. Can't wait. First one. Good video Jim. Thank You Randy

[Kayak4Fish]

A small bead of silcon or goop will give you a better seal, but if you do it the way I said there is very little if any leakage anyway.

[RolandHEU]

Great instructional video. Thanks, Jim
