Hats off to "Hook 1"

As I was collecting gear to remodel my Adventure I decided to steal an idea from Rawkfish and add a gear bag to the back of my Hobie seat.  I ordered it and several other items from Hook 1 http://kayakfishinggear.com/ .  When I received my order they bag wasn't there so I called Chad at Hook 1 and he said they were out due to a product flaw but I could wait till they got a new shipment (he didn't know how long it might take) or get a refund.  Since I was chomping at the bit to get working on my yak I took the refund and found the bag elsewhere online.  Low and behold I get back into town from a week of steelhead fishing and there is a box from Hook 1.  After calling and talking to Chad he said he had sent it out anyway to make sure I got what I needed and was happy.  Now thats customer service!   

Allen-  I'd be happy to pass it along to you as an AOTY prize (surf to summit seat mounted gear bag)
 

That's awesome service!  Those bags are awesome!

Is this the same bag?  How do you like it?

That's the one I ordered from hook 1. The one I actually ended up getting (another vendor)  is slightly different, same brand just a different model.  So far it works great for what I needed.

How much room is in it for extra gear in case I want to leave the milk crate at home and take the dog?

That's nice to hear Pelagic. I've always had good service from them. I like that Chad always personally signs his name on my order sheet and says "Thank you." If only they would throw in a couple stickers it would be perfect.

It's no ground blind but I'm sure you could figure out a way to make it work.

If you want stickers they sent me a ton. I only roll with Slayride stickers so I can bring them to the next meet up and folks are welcome to them.

I use it for my first aid kit, maybe flares, my bottle of sunscreen and a couple of other random small items like sunglasses.  The tubes are for my lip gripper and wood shampoo.  I wouldn't recommend it for tackle use unless it's a small amount of tackle that is confined in its own bag.  It would be great for holding a small amount of tackle for use on a trip where you could rent a kayak.

+1 on Hook1.  I got a Hi-Vis mesh safety flag and some other gear from them and service was fast/excellent.  The flag attaches with velcro to one of my rods.  I put it up when I'm in power boat/jet ski fast traffic areas especially when my wife or son jump off the Cobra Triple to swim while I'm fishing.   Didn't find that particular product anywhere else.

Last time I gave out my last one, I just e-mailed Hook1 and said I was out. 
They promptly sent me a stack to continue handing out. 

I might have a few left as well, haven't looked in a while.
