I hope this one will help out all the Trident 15 owners.  Not to mention too, but also tips on how to pimp out the other owners of the Ocean Kayak family members the Caper, Prowler, and the Malibu Two XL



Here is a link to a rigged Humminbird 787c2i on a Trident 15

We stuffed the raffle rods into the t-13 that Guitarzan won at Elk as a test.

really easy.  As a on the water test I stuffed 5 rods with reels in my trident 15.  It took some maneuvering but they all fit facing the back.  I found it easier to pull the rod away from my body towards the bow.  Same with the 13.

I tied a loose loop of thin rope around the scupper 'towers' and clip things to that so they dont get away.  so I have a battery in a dry bag in front, another dry bag with spare tackle in front.  In the middle a bilge pimp, drift anchor, spare game clip.  That leaves the entire rear open.  I usually carry 2-3 rods with no issues.

I come from a bass boat back ground, so I understand a need for lots of rods; but isn't six a lot for a kayak?  I'm not being sarcastic just curious.  Andres

I had my sabiki, and three rods, plus both of my kids rods.

Ok that makes sense.  I was just curious!  By the way I'm hoping to see your name at the top of the leader board.  I keep looking but your points haven't changed in a while.  Good luck.

Thanks...me too! :smt003 The comp is serious this year, any of the top scores would have been a winner in previous years.  My weekends have been full with football etc. and I haven't had an open weekend line-up with the right flows or swell.
