Yak Attack - Black Pak

Flipping from page to page in the new Kayak Angler magazine Spring 2013 I came across this advertisement by Yak Attack for a product called Black Pak.

I know that a milk crate is the go to choice but has anyone ever paid for a plastic box that can store all our gear/rods & so forth?

I'm debating on forking out the money for the Yak Attack Black Pak or just rigging up the good old milk crate.

This is what I use. Plano box with Berkley rod holders. Its about $15.00-$20.00 for the box and about $10.00- $12.00 for the rod holders.

I use the Black Pak on my Hobie Outback and love it. I went with it over the standard milk crate for a few reasons. The BP has a lid to keep stuff from blowing out and with the solid side panels I can mount the rod holders or anything else the way I want them. The box does come with a bunch of pre-drilled holes to mount the rod holders and also fits the YacAttack Gear track system and Scotty accessories. Next I'll be mounting a flag on the box so other can see me on the water.

It did take about 20 min and a few beers to put it together but the instructions where easy to follow. It came with 3 rod holders, but only mounted 2 to start with.

It also fits well with my tack box and Hobie cart (see pict).

Overall I'm sure you can do the same with a milk crate but it wouldn't be as clean of a set up IMO.
