3 Best Rigging & Outfitting
DoubleHeader with Dual RotoGrip Paddle Holders by YakAttack
DoubleHeader with Dual RotoGrip Paddle Holders by YakAttackIn typical YakAttack fashion, what started as an idea for a single offset RotoGrip Paddle Holder resulted in a product with a bit more versatility. The DoubleHeader track mount can serve several different purposes, but in this case, it is the foundation for the perfect offset paddle holder solution that customers have been dreaming of ever since the launch of the RotoGrip several years back. The DoubleHeader offsets the paddle holders off the kayak allowing for the full functionality of the remaining track space for other accessories.
