Review on Optimized Fishing Gear: YakAttack BlackPak Pro Crate For Kayak Anglers In Various Sizes by Brian Summers

If your buying this to just use as storage and need some rod holders, you should be happy with your purchase.However, if you bought this with DIY in mind like I did, there a few things to be aware of.The biggest con is no current Yak Attack products fit the Gridloc holes. No Gear Tracs nothing! The Gridloc system holes are proprietary for upcoming accessories only! New accessories should be available mid September. In the mean time, Yak Attack CS also related to me, any new holes drilled into the panels will void the "Lifetime Warranty". So much for their "Make it yours" theme! The box has a lot of potential and is lighter then the last version, and adds latches & lid locks to help secure your gear. I noticed each end of the rod holder is for either a spinning rod or Baitcaster but the tether cord is designed for the spinning rod end only. Good design but, could have been implemented better.If I had to do it all over again, I would have waited another year to upgrade given the proprietary Gridloc holes. It's highly annoying not being able to use my current YA products and having to wait to buy new accessories. Had Yak Attack introduced the new accessories at the same time it would have been an easier pill to swallow.
