NuCanoe Frontier 12 Rigging

Early this week I got a message from a guy in San Jose asking about more info about kayak fishing.  He wanted a kayak that was good for fishing, and could be used as a solo or tandem. He wanted to be able to mount a trolling motor, and also stand up. Furthermore he wanted the kayak to be adaptable for both solo and tandem fishing, which means all the rod holders had to be able to side, adjust and interchange between multiple mounting positions. The only kayak I know that would be capable of all this is the NuCanoe Frontier 12. After a few emails, and phone conversations we developed a plan to rig up the Nucanoe to the max using Yak Attack Mighty Mounts, backer plates, rigging bullets and Ram Screw Balls.  In addition to that we added a Sealect Designs Anchor Trolley system, NuCanoe Swivel seat, NuCanoe Casting Bar, and a NuCanoe Tiller Extension


If there is one thing I love more than fishing, its building up someones dream kayak for them, and for Jean Pier, this was it. He went all out to make sure the job was done right. Here is a video I put together of the whole rigging job. Hopefully I can update it soon with pictures of Jean Pier slaying the trout on some Sierra Lake, or hauling in bass out on the Delta. Very fun project and I hope you will enjoy it.
