You love your kayak. It’s your passport to hidden coves, glassy waters, and trophy catches. But if you’re still balancing your rod on your lap, stuffing gear into random corners, or wrestling with a camera mount that won’t stay put, it’s time for an upgrade!  Enter RAILBLAZA—the undisputed champion of mounting solutions that actually work. Whether you’re a die-hard angler, an adventure-seeking paddler, or a content creator chasing epic shots, RAILBL       AZA has the tools to rig your kayak for success.

Here’s your guide to gearing up like a pro.

Step 1: Start with a Solid Mounting System

Everything begins with a StarPort—RAILBLAZA’s brilliantly simple and endlessly versatile mounting system. Think of it as your kayak’s Swiss Army knife—one base that lets you swap between rod holders, camera mounts, cup holders, and more. Install a few StarPort TrackLoader’s on your kayak’s gunwales, console, or tracks, and you’ll have a foundation that adapts to whatever adventure you’re chasing.

If your kayak has gear tracks, the TracLoader SidePort is your new best friend. No drilling required—just slide it into your track system, tighten it down, and boom—you’ve got a secure mount for endless possibilities.

Step 2: Lock in Your Rod Holders

For anglers, rod holders are a must. The Rod Holder II is the workhorse, holding everything from spinning reels to bait casters with a locking mechanism that keeps your setup secure.

Need more adjustability?

The Rod Tube provides quick access for trolling, while the Rod Holder R is compact and ideal for light setups.

Pro tip: Position your rod holders so they’re easy to reach but out of the way of your paddle stroke. Mounting them on extenders can keep your rods at the perfect height while keeping your deck clutter-free.

Step 3: Secure Your Electronics

Fishing in unknown waters? Hook up your fish finder with a Fish Finder Mount R-Lock, designed to keep your sonar setup secure while allowing for quick adjustments. For night missions or foggy conditions, the Visibility Kit II gives you a 360-degree LED navigation light, ensuring you’re seen on the water. Bonus: It collapses down when not in use, so it’s never in the way.

Step 4: Capture the Action

Whether you’re documenting your PB catch or filming a sunrise paddle, the Camera Boom 600 R-Lock gives you the perfect overhead shot. Pair it with a Starport HD Base and your GoPro is locked in for adventure—no more sketchy DIY setups that end in heartbreak (or, worse, a lost camera).

(Look for additions to the Camera Boom line up from Railblaza in April 2025!)

Step 5: Keep Essentials Within Reach

A clean deck is a happy deck. The StowPod is the ultimate kayak organizer, holding everything from pliers to energy bars (because we all know the fish always bite when you’re mid-snack). Need more storage? The DrinkHold is a game-changer—not just for holding your favorite beverage but also for stashing small tools or lures.

Step 6: Transport with Ease

Dragging your fully-rigged kayak shouldn’t feel like a CrossFit workout. The C-Tug Kayak Cart makes transport a breeze, handling everything from sandy beaches to rocky shores. Pair it with SandTrakz Wheels for even smoother rolling over soft terrain.

Final Thoughts: Rig for Adventure

Your kayak isn’t just a boat—it’s a launchpad for epic experiences. With RAILBLAZA gear, you can rig it for efficiency, comfort, and serious fish-catching (or memory-making) potential. Whether you’re fishing, exploring, or filming, the right setup makes all the difference.

So, get out there, rig it right, and own the water. Because the only thing better than a kayak adventure is one where your gear actually stays put. 🚀🎣🌊
