Scotty just released their new gear head adaptor #438 that adapts to tracks and Yak Attack Might Mounts, offering more rigging options than ever before.

We just got a initial order of 36 of them. In addition to the Gear Heads we also got the 415 slip disk adaptors, which allow you scotty rod to have infinite adjustment. IMO these are to major steps up for Scotty Product.

See for yourself and tell me what you think. Also I would be interested to hear how you may use them to rig your kayak. The more ideas you share the better I can get at rigging customers kayaks.

FYI they will fit in Native, YAk Attack, Wilderness and Eddyline Track Systems. Along with most other after market tracks.

My buddy Issac did a blog post about it here:

Allows to you make micro adjustments similar to Ram without having to unscrew the knob a bunch. Just a half turn on the knob, then pull it to where you want it and tighten it back down. This with a gear head offers a ton of versatility and positions.
