Hello,
Living in Vancouver and have been fishing all my life. I just bought the Cuda 12 but need to get it all "rigged" up. So if anybody has one of these yaks and would like to tell me the must haves, that would be awesome.

Thanks and go Hawks!

Welcome Abstract Fly
While I don't believe you are ever "done" rigging up a fishing kayak, I myself am still slowly building mine to meet my needs.  I just added 2 8" YakAttack Geartrac GT90s and am pretty stoked to start adding all kinds of accessories.  I also have a modified crate, a YakAttack Visicarbon Pro, the tray holders for the sides of the seats (really handy), and the center hatch insert (IMO a must).  Future mods are fish finder and transducer install.  What do you want to fish for?

Hey,  I also have a Cuda, 12ft, been fishing it for over a year, still don't have anything rigged on it.  I did get the center hatch tub just this week, decided I needed it.  Have fun, I live on the coast and mostly fish for bass.

Thanks for the replies...
I mostly fly fish but since moving close to the Vedder I'm starting to Center pin. I think I'm going to install those yak tracks but I have a hummingbird portable and have no idea where to put it? Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!

By portable are you referring to the Fishing Buddies? Although I'm sure you could build something for it to attach to, the inconvenience of putting it in and out to avoid hitting in shallow water and the drag created from it while paddle might not be worth it.  Though if you are really determined to use it you might be able to open up the post and part out the unit itself and possibly get a transducer for it?  I'm not really sure if that could work, though I have used one in the past I never opened it up to see what's inside
