Features

  • Oversize, rubber-padded saddles protect your kayak from dings and scratches, conforming to your vessel's hull for a secure, full-contact carry that's easy on your boat
  • Simple tool-free installation loads up quickly, giving you more time to chase that next big catch; felt pads aid kayak loading
  • Includes heavy-duty straps and bow and stern tie-downs
  • Universal mounting hardware fits Yakima StreamLine bars (not included), RoundBars and HD Bars (sold separately)—along with most other crossbars
  • Optional RoundBar Kit (sold separately) prevents BigCatch saddles from rotating on RoundBars
  • If you have T-slot crossbars, don't forget the Yakima SmarT-Slot Kit 4 (sold separately) for clean, integrated look

Kayak is locked down!

5 years ago

Used this cradle system for my old town predator fishing kayak. Great system, little pricy but peace of mind always is. My kayak is completely locked down on the roof now. I will be buying a second for my wife’s fishing kayak.

Stack on Top

5 years ago

I look and look for a Kayak holder to fit on top of my Yakima OVERHAUL Rack and I feel this works best for me. I like that it can hold up to 180 pounds. I like being able to clamp holder on HD-Bars and I will get T-Slot system for faster mounting.

Buyer Beware! These Don't Fit Traditional Kayaks

5 years ago

This was my most unfortunate on-line purchase in years. I hoped to use these cradles on a CLC Petrel Play and a Current Designs Solstice 135 and they didn't fit at all. These cradles are basically rigid and don't conform to hulls that have some chine in their shape. I perhaps should have keyed into the "Fishing Kayak" part later in the description. This mistake is costing me $40 to ship back to Seattle...ouch!

Best saddles ever

3 years ago

Have used them all and had many racks on many vehicles. I never imagined that these could make loading and unloading my have fishing kayaks so effortless and simple. Highly recommend, despite the high price.
