So I am looking to accesorize my new yak.

I had a rhyno bar on my Drifter and really liked how I could attach stuff in front of me and up a bit.

One issue is that it is a permanent mount.

I saw a product called the Johnny Bar that is a removable accesory bar.

Does anyone out there have one or an opinion on this product?  It looks pretty good and is cheaper than the Rhyno Bar.

Are you getting the P15 or the P13? There are not a lot of guys that use the bars and I think you will find with a bigger boat there is less of a need for one.

Personally I like Josh's ghetto bar which is a 2x4 and some bungies. Cheap and easy!

I'm getting the 13, and since it is pretty much free, I am going to pimp it out with the proceeds from selling my drifter.

2x4 ain't bling, so it ain't going on...

I like the idea of being able to remove the mount and have a cleaner look when not fishing.

The good thing about the Ghetto Bar it is your can paint it Tie-dye.
Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

HHmmmmm....

That is a point, but I would be able to airbrush the Johnny bar....

I will just have to wait to see how the hull is delivered.

I am going to for sure pimp it with a Surf to Summit GTS Elite seat.
