John Brown’s Fully Rigged W300 Fishing Kayak - Alabama
John Brown, from Alabama, got his W300 fishing kayak in March.
Since then he’s rigged it to perfection:
-”It’s a great boat, and I love it. I got what I call the wavewalk-tan on my knees from paddling it so often… I do a lot of stand up paddling and poling. It works for me.” Says John.

-”I just purchased a Hummingbird fish finder, but haven’t put it on yet.”

The tube rod holders are RAM-301 (top) and RAM-119 (bottom) .
John’s anchor trolley system - a useful device for certain types of shallow water kayak fishing.

Wow, you have the Cadillac of kayaks,I love it. How is the seat pad held in place, and what is it made of? What did you use to attach the rigging to the hull for the anchor pulley? Have you had any luck with attaching Velcro to the hull? I bought a W500 last week and can’t get enough. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve never even been on a kayak before. This is better than fun!

Looks like a yoga mat
With such a large surface this thing could hold in place just by friction.
