Application:
The Yakdog stowage system is engineered to keep your shallow water anchor pole in a low-profile, horizontal position. By hugging the hull, your pole stays clear of overhanging trees and low docks while remaining immediately accessible.
- Precision Control: Shallow water anchor poles are essential for holding your position in river currents, marsh creeks, or wind-swept lakes.
- Dual-Side Compatibility: For maximum stability and boat control, systems can be installed on both the port and starboard sides of the kayak for two shallow water anchors.
- Ready for Action: This design ensures one of your most important tools are always within reach, allowing you to transition from paddling to anchoring in seconds.
- Stealth: By eliminating the need to 'snap' the pole into aggressive plastic clips, our design minimizes impact noise and hull vibration during stowage and removal—ensuring you remain silent when approaching fish.
Design
The Yakdog Anchor Pole Bracket is a specialized solution designed to secure a standard 3/4-inch shallow water anchor pole.
- Secure Retention: Each system utilizes two brackets mounted to front and rear 1C1 or 2C1 plates. The pole securely fit between dual retention pins, providing enough "grip" for active fishing while allowing for a quick release. This 'drop-in' geometry is engineered to prevent the pole from striking the kayak hull during deployment. Unlike standard clips that require forceful pressure, the Yakdog bracket allows for a silent, fluid motion that reduces possible noise.
- Transport Mode: For high-speed transport or rough water, an integrated bungee cord loop secures over the Yakdog Thumb Nut for a fail-safe hold.
- The "Smarter Anchor" Point: We’ve eliminated the need for expensive, corrosive metal clips. For those using RAM® Tube™ holders, simply pass your anchor cable through the integrated Nylon Pad Eye and over the Thumb Nut for a rock-solid, corrosion-proof anchoring point.
Artisanship & Materials
- Handcrafted in the USA: Every plate features intricate, multi-dimensional geometry that defies mass production. We utilize a precision-handcrafted process to maintain tolerances that high-speed factory machines simply cannot replicate.
- Marine-Grade Durability: Built from King StarBoard®—the industry-leading UV-resistant high-density polyethylene—and paired with 18-8 stainless steel hardware. This system is engineered to survive a lifetime in the harshest saltwater environments.
Installation & Technical Setup
To ensure your Yakdog Anchor Pole System is rock-solid and functions correctly, please follow these essential installation steps:
· Prep the Mounting Plate: The integrated Eye Pad must be removed from the mounting plate prior to installing the anchor bracket. This ensures a flush, secure fit between the two components.
· Engage Anti-Rotation Locks: Each Yakdog bracket is engineered with precision-aligned holes designed to fit over the anti-rotation stoppers on the mount. Ensure these are fully seated during installation to prevent the bracket from shifting or rotating under the weight of the pole.
Compatible:
¾ Inch (0.75 Inch, 19 mm) diameter Shallow Water Anchor Poles, Yakdog 1C1 and 1C2 rail or hull mounting plates.
