Gear track question (Hobie Revolution):
What specific model Yak Attack (or other brand?) gear tracks can best handle the heavier duty applications best (trolling rod holder, fishfinder with large screen)
[This will be the first gear track installation on any yak, to date, for me.]
TIA,
Chris

My favorite is the Yak Attack GT 90 gear track.  It is aluminum and has worked well for me.  I am not a big fan of the top load  version.  They do make a backer plate that would make it even stronger.  Get it longer than you think you will need.

Being retired, they pay me when I go fishing, therefore I am kind of a professional fisherman.

I have Yak Attack Gen II GearTrac, 12", GT175, and also Yak attack GT90 for my revo 13. Attached a picture of where I mount the GT175, it holds rod and my Garmin 74SV nicely.

The ones on my big tuna. No backing plates on any of them, word of advice only put them on one side keep the other side clear for reentry.

I use the ones by yak attack, w/ backing.

My only complaint is that their ends are 90 degree angles, making them quite pokey. Would be fairly easy to shave them down to a more rounded state, though.

Have always run the GT175 without backer plates, have had zero issues running a downrigger with 5+lb weight, several rod holders, etc with zero issues of flex or otherwise.
