We have been getting questions from lots of people asking if the the new Jackson stand up bar also fits the Oldtown Predator MX and 13. After spending a full day fishing from it yesterday I wanted to find out for myself. We have been using on the Jackson Cuda, Kilroy, and Big Rig and really liking it, so today we measured it up and it turns out it fits almost perfect with no special bending or tweaking. Just add a couple Yak Attack tracks, and T bolts to the rear supports, and then drill in the two front supports on the front deck. The only other thing we added was a couple of guides and a hook to run a bungee through to hold down the bar when stowed. It looks clean and works GREAT! Check out the Youtube video we shot.

What exactly is the purpose of a stand up bar? I could never figure it out.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that they are for standing up?

But can't you do that already?  I mean you don't need a bar to stand up do you?

Are they specifically for holding paddles? gear?  what?

I think they're just there to grab on to to help you stand up.

BMB, Standing up is doable in all these boats, but still when your standing and fishing a boat wake or something will catch you off guard, and instead of going all the way to your ass on the seat, you can just lean or grab the bar for that third point of contact to keep you from falling over or getting off balance. Also I like to stand up and paddle while I'm fishing for bass, and it is a pain in the ass to constantly have to pick up your paddle any time you need to make a correction stroke. Having your paddle staged right in front of you makes that way easier.

Is the Jackson one better or cheaper than the one that is already sold for the Old Town?  $275 does seem pretty steep. Whenever someone sells something that costs more than Hobie/Apple charges (for the H bar) I am usually surprised.

It doesn't seem like a standard accessory for Jackson - is it just a part of the big rig and can only be ordered by dealers?

That looks great Dan.
Nice and clean. You guys really take pride in what you do.
Might have to get rigged up on that for my Cuda 14.

To make it easier to take a piss standing up? :smt003

Looks great.  I'd definitely want one for the shallow-water stuff!

We just got the stand up bar from old town built for the preditors and that new big game from Ocean. It's made backwards if you look at everybody else's stand up bar but it's built solid.
