How did your gear track project turn out? Curious what parts you used and where you installed? Just bought a Revo 13 and am planning the idea. Would like to get your input

I went with the Scotty rails $8 a piece and I will be installing them this weekend. I will update after I get them on.

Here's a "selfie" showing the tracks from the side.  The fish finder and the rear (left side) rod holder are located near the middle of my shins, so they are real easy to reach.  I barely need to lean forward in my seat to reach them.  I usually prefer to locate the left side rod holder a bit further forward than is shown in the picture in my previous posting, so it doesn't get in the way of my feet as much when I'm getting in and out of the kayak.  The picture in my previous posting was taken with the front (right side) rod holder mounted near my feet, which is a bit of a stretch.  However, I don't like trolling with two rods at the same time, even if one of the rods is going to my downrigger, because because the second rod interferes with playing in fish, you can get some hideous line tangles when bringing in a fish.



Thanks for the info that's exactly what I needed I will be ordering some tonight. Gotta get everything rigged and ready to go

You didn't get that ordered? I don't they'll be here in time for us to install on Sunday.

That was a month ago Dino I have a big box of stuff waiting to go on the kayak. Everything is here.

Here's a pretty simple install of some Gear Trac. It doesn't get in the way if I need to paddle.  I'm thinking about getting more so I can rig some rod holders behind me.
