New Name, Same Game

   


After I created this BLOG I found out someone was already using YakSmack so as much as I liked the name I had to change it. I just picked something obvious for now. I hope to find something more creative over time and change it again!. Until then, welcome to Damon Outdoors!

All Rigged Up



    I have been busy with the Holidays but I finally have some new content!

    I got a bunch of rigging stuff from Santa so I have basically changed most everything up.

    I changed out all of the factory mounting plates with a full set of YackAttack plates with recessed rails.

These rails will allow me to have a ton more options for rod holder location. They will also allow me to have more available angles for my GoPro footage!.

   

Of course I needed rail capable acessories so I set myRailblaza holers aside and put on some RAM-ROD 2000s (Part CBO-SB115-R117)

This is the old model as shown on the YakAttack site.



    RAM is updating this rod holder to have two adjustment locations, two knobs. If you order these any time soon, you may have to request the new model. I just happened to get one of each. I did not like the look of the old model at all so I asked if they could take the old one back and send me a newer model to match the one I had. YakAttak was awesome and did this for me.

The new version. Note the second adjustment knob.  





    I also got a track mounted Pan Fish Camera Pole to replace the flush mount PVC version I made. This will free up that rod holder and allow me to mount it on any of the 6 rails!

 




    The last thing is a YakAttack BlackPak. I actually recieved the Limited Edition tan model. I thought I would like the tan, but the color was too light for my taste and wished I had went with the black one. So I painted it to match the kayak!

 

Here are some pictures of the new rigging....
