My favorite paddle boarding accessory.
This is a must have for bote boards. Great for carrying gear. Rod holders are also great for umbrellas and flag poles
Tackle Rac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tackle Rack really improved my fishing ability with my old Bug Slinger. I had been fishing leaving the rod on the deck until use, with the rack I now have two rod holders, and place to put my water tight backpack. I have also started using it to rest the paddle, the Bug Slinger comes with a paddle holder (thin slit for paddle) but I often fear the paddle could crack if..... things happen, so this Rac allows me to rest the padel up close to me when not in use.
Solid Accessory
I'm a big DYIer and thought I could make my own, bend some tubing and weld it up, but not for the Bote price. The tackle Rac provides a great fixture to lean against, and tie-off items. I would like to see Bote make a fishing tackle organizer that would integrate with the Rac similar to some crude models online. It is built of really heavy duty Aluminum and will probably last a lifetime, but I wonder if it would be lighter with thin wall stainless tubing instead. I've lived in salt water environment and don't really trust aluminum long term as it will corrode to powder given a scratch or two especially with a topcoat, but I believe this is one fine quality piece in how it is constructed and finished.
Quality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a master piece. Quality is incredibly great. Feel safe and comfortable when I was riding. I can surely recommend this for those who consider buy one.
Rac it!
The Bote tackle rac is well engineered and does fit nicely into the rac receivers attached to my Bote board. At that point, I wondered why their was no included locking device to hold the tackle rac in place in case the board flips? Could it be that the receivers are angled to hold the tackle rac in place in the event of a flip? My plan would be to test this (with a safety cord attached). Although the finish on the Tackle Rac is visually pleasing (I have the white one) the paint coat(s) seemed fairly thin and the soft aluminum scratches rather easily and so will require touch up on occasion. Otherwise it is a very strong, light, 1-piece design that should compliment my Aero HD for a long time. Lastly, it seems a bit over priced but extremely functional.
First day out fishing with my BOTE
Tackle rack is very cool and allowed me to fish for the first time today on Lake Mead. Only suggestion I would make is it would be rad if the pole holders swiveled so you could set them out a bit more when trolling and or for better access when reaching for your rod. That said I plan on using it regularly and hooking into some Striper and large mount bass. Thanks BOTE, I dig the lifestyle.
Great support accessory for paddleboard
Purchased this to use on our Rackham Aero. It is great to provide a rod holder and to hold drinks, small personal effect bag. It is also a great assist in balance when moving around on the board. As we are using it on the Aero, it isn't as stable as if it were mounted on a hard board, but even with the minor flexing, it is still a great accessory. Well built with a great paint job.
Needed tool!!
I'm an avid flyfisherman, and love the freedom my BOTE board gives me with this tackle rack. It is universal and can be used in a ton of ways. Securely holds fly rods and spinning rods, with tons of other attachments being utilized on its interior ribbon. I can spend all day fishing and cruising any body of water. Inshore, in the bay, back marshes, rivers and lakes… Love it!
Can update
I havent had the chance to try it yet due to logistical issues, but since I have been fishing both a spinning reel and fly fishing from my Flood Aero, I can say without a doubt that the ability to not only keep my hook off of the balloon that I'm on, but to keep my gear seperated and organized as well, will make fishing 10x more enjoyable, as well as efficient! I am waiting to be able to use it to help keep my gear stowed safely and available when I am spear fishing as well, but due to the size constraints of having the smaller Flood, I am waiting to be able to use it so as to help my pole spear stay as far away from the deck as possible! The construction is more durable than I expected, and the customer service in dealing with the logistical aspect began rocky, but has greatly improved with enough determination. I can update the review in the near future when I am able to use it to it's fullest capabilities!
Color is exactly what I
Color is exactly what I wanted. Matches my Rackham Aero perfectly. The rack installs in seconds and is very sturdy. Even for a 240 lb guy! The fittings are great for rod holding or accessories. I put a dry bag in the middle with some bungee ball straps to hold my phone, wallet and speaker when fishing. Price is a little steep but the quality is worth it!
