Always follow the 6 p’s. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Love your set up Chad.

[@southwestindianaoutdooradv4714]

Yakattack Blackpack Pro 13x16 with the boomstick camera mount, gridloc mighty mount 9”, and a visicarbon pro! I love that you pushed the importance of a first aid kit and just as important knowing how to use everything in it!

[@jeffreyspaulding5849]

Awesome. Perfect timing as I just purchased a Blackpack Pro. Thanks for the great videos

[@nh_fishing_gal]

Yak Attack blackpack pro 16x16 with tether tube rod holders, tracpac, and pan fish pro camera mount. Thanks for the walkthrough… some great ideas!

[@JamesJohnsonFishing]

Appreciate you taking the time to show us your current setup. Love to see how it evolves over time. I actually have a mix of 3600 & 3700 and wanted them both to sit nicely in the blackpak so I created a kydex rigid divider that screws into the existing bosses and used the Yakattack knot loc dividers in 2 directions for my 13x16 blackpak. If I were set it up now, I'd probably go with a 16 x 16 blackpak, a 90 Degree MightyMount Adapter, VISICarbon Pro, and some TracPaks. Though, personally, I probably need the TowNStow BarCart more than anything. The old PVC cart leaves a lot to be desired 🤣

[@lowlifeangler]

RIBBIT TOADS!!! AWW YEAH!! Those paired up with Stanley Double Take weighted hooks tear through the thick coverage up here in Ohio in the summer! Love those Track packs. Sorry Chad , I can't make it down there for Knucklhed Fun day hanging with Team Wendell. I will mark it on the Calendar 2024.

[@chickenliquor]

Love the setup. I've been grateful for my first aid kit a couple times. Nothing serious, but it let me keep fishing! BlackPak Pro Kayak Fishing Crate - 13" x 16" TetherTube Rod Holder- Two Pack x 2 GridLoc MightyMount

[@atothedub27]

Solid Setup! As they say: success is where preparation meets opportunity. I'd go with the following setup: BlackPak Pro Kayak Fishing Crate - 13" x 16" TetherTube Rod Holders Mighty mount and a TracPak Stackable Storage Box

[@BriantreVino5]

I love to see organization like that! Great video and thank you for the video! I'd like to get my kayak to that level one day.

[@user-fm7yv8wp2s]

I love your TV show and KZbin Channel. Since I am new to the sport, I don't have a lot of equipment except for a new peddle drive kayak. I would probably use a black pack pro 13x13. Would love the tethertube rod holder, tethertube turret, and TracPak Combo Kit would be a must. Thanks for all you do for the Kayak Fishing Community.

[@todvelsor6773]

Chad as always love hearing from you especially since its getting colder here in New England and our fishing days are dwindling. Love the helpful hints I always seem to get from your videos. Yakattack Blackpack pro 13x16, trac pak quick release base, double header with dual Park-n-Pole Rotogrips(olive green) and a Boom Stick pro camera mount. Thanks again Chad.

[@quelchx]

Absolutely loving the content on this channel! I usually shy away from contests to give others a chance, but hey, why not jump in this time? Even though I don't have a camera yet, if I were to grab one today, it'd likely be: - BlackPak Pro Kayak Fishing Crate - 13" x 13" - TetherTube Rod Holder- Two Pack with Mounting Hardware (for extra rod holders) - TracPak Combo Kit, Two Boxes and Quick Release Base (to put in crate lol) - BoomStick Pro™ Camera Mount (so I have an excuse to purchase a GoPro)

[@wdking67]

I've gotten away from using a crate in an effort to cut down on the amount of gear that I carry with me on the water. I've started using small soft tackle bags and use horizontal rod storage vs the verticle storage with a crate.

[@Wastingtime689]

What did you do for your horizontal rod storage?

[@wolfgane1974]

Love all your vids! Being new to the KBF and new to kayak fishing your videos have really helped my wife and I feel a lot safer and more confident on the water. I would go with the Blackpack Pro 13x16 with OmniHooks, 4 Pack, TracPak Combo Kit, Two Boxes and Quick Release Base and of course TetherTube Rod Holder- Two Pack with Mounting Hardware. Thanks for the vids!

[@EdNeuenschwander]

Awesome video! Just bought my retirement gift of my first fishing kayak. Your videos are helping me figure out what I need to rig it up. Thank you! I'd really like the Yakattack Blackpack Pro 13x16. Add a camera mount, a gridlock mount, and a TracPack quick release base.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Thank you for your service nice sit up

[@larrythornton843]

Great video brother. Love the touch on not just having but knowing how to use your med kit! Prac app is something people need to apply at least once a year!! I’m more of a minimalist these days so 13x13 blackpak pro to keep a smaller profile. Gridloc through hull wiring kit to run a waterproof battery box hook up simple. The gridloc mighty mount with 90* adapter so a visipole can be mounted on side of pack without having to worry about hindrance when opening and closing the lid. As with all yak attack products they come with amazing customer service! Broke a switchblade transducer arm due to air bubbles in the mold process. They were able to get me a whole new kit sent out in just a few days to my door!!! Never had any metal potions of their products rust on me either.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks brother and thanks for watching

[@JD-HALL]

Been waiting for this one. Thanks Chad

[@MichaelWilliams-tr6zd]

Thanks for the video Chad, great as always. I'd go with the 13x16 crate, tether tube rod holders, a pan fish pro and a few Trac pacs

[@jeffreyforester4112]

Awesome setup and video Chad, I'd love to have mine setup with the 16x16 blackpak pro, tether tube turrets, tracpak combo,and tether tube rod holders. Thanks for taking your time with the walkthrough.

[@BowFinJunkie]

Love the content Chad and I look forward to meeting you on Friday at Dittos Landing for the Knuklehed Championship Captains meeting. LETS GO #TeamWendell !! Yakattack Blackpack pro 13x16 Coyote tan! with 2x extra rod tubes, a Gridlock mighty mount with the 90 degree adapter, and a TracPak for the inside of the lid! I reckon’ that’ll do.

[@andrewpettit4512]

Great system, love the energy and stressing being prepared! Black pack pro 13x16, tether tube rod holder, trackpak combo and 12” gridlock trac

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you, I appreciate that

[@cindyjanepusey9944]

Great video Chad. 16x16 with tether tubes, trac pack combo and 2 grid lock mighty mount 12” track.

[@CecilWoodley]

Awesome video and I can’t wait to see everyone else’s walk through. I would get the blackpak 13x16 and would attach visicarbon pole, panfish pro, and leverage landing net. Not to mention my KBF sticker!

[@londart4696]

First of all, Keep it up! Found your channel through Jay's videos, and this challange :) BlackPak Pro Kayak Fishing Crate - 13" x 16" (2x) TracPak Combo Kit, two boxes and quick release base. (SKU SSO-1002) (1x) VISICarbon Pro™, CPM, Includes Mighty Mount and Hardware (SKU CPM + MMH) Still using my home-made milk crate, works great but have been yearning for a YakAttack crate. Look forward to watching more of your videos :)

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks and welcome to my channel

[@FredFunk-yq9jl]

I like the idea. I have a 16x16 and I always pack it full but hardly ever use much out of it so simplifying it makes sense. I do like the rod holders though so that part is nice.

[@24linedrive]

BlackPak Pro Kayak Fishing Crate - 13" x 13" TracPak Combo Kit, Two Boxes and Quick Release Base Gridloc MightyMount XL 9" Great video useful information.

[@jaredsmith7984]

You the man Chad! Awesome video!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thank you Jared

[@miked6252]

Great video always good to see other ways to do things, I'd love the YakAttack BlackPak Pro 16x16 with 2 GRIDLOC MIGHTYMOUNT XL 9” and TracPak Combo Kit, Two Boxes and Quick Release Base Tight Lines

[@ILLUMINATHAN79]

YakAttack BlackPak Pro 16x16- 2 rod holders & Tether Tube Turrets. Thanks Chad! Love the videos dude

[@caroferg8857]

Oh cool! I like this setup. Time to start saving and or bugging hubby for Christmas lol YakAttack Blackpack Pro 13x16 with Visipole, tether tubes, leverage landing net and tracpacks;)

[@chaddolby8783]

Highs in the low 40s and after watching this you got me wanting to get out now! Trying to get all my tackle moved into the edges now. They are fantastic! I'd go with the 13x16 yak attack black fishing crate. The mighty mount and tracpack stackable storage box and tethertube rod holders.

[@Catching.With.Kyle.]

Awesome to see how you organize your gear! Definitely gave me some ideas! I’d love to have the black pack pro 13x16, trackpack 2 pack and a tethertube 2 pack! Good luck to everyone!

[@timday1673]

I Love my Trac packs. They are so helpful.

[@WilliamLapeMN]

Great video, Chad. I would go with a 13 x 13 Blackpack Pro since I have a smaller kayak. I would mount one or two trackpaks on top of it to add storage capacity. On the side, I would mount their new Ketchboard holder when it is released using a mighty mount track with a ninety degree adaptor, if necessary, attached to the side (probably 6”). If I had room, I would consider adding another ninety degree adaptor and a boomstick pro to the side track as well (might need a 9” track for that).

[@ColsenTaylorFishing]

Sick setup! That 16-16 is pretty swift, paired with a mighty mount on all four corners and mounting tracks. That would be my pick. Would love to see a video on how much tackle you bring per trip.

[@brandonbaker4339]

Yakattack black pack pro. I'd gi with the 13x16 with panfish pro camera mount , gridloc mighty mount with 90° adapter and a gridloc mighty mount XL 12. Thanks for the opportunity. Spent one year getting my ss127 set up a little at a time as I could afford it. Finally got to start taking it out in September of this year and I'm hooked... Thanks again.

[@StreetsFishing]

Great video! Every time I watch your videos I learn something new! YakAttack BlackPak Pro 16x16-camera mount, visicarbon pro, and Tracpak combo kit.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Awesome. Glad I could help

[@mrgalvann]

The YakAttack BlackPak 13X16 would be the best fit for my yak. TetherTube Rod Holders, a couple of 9'' Gridlock Mightmounts & a boom stick camera mount , 🎣🎣

[@ReelGameFishing]

Thanks! I'd get the Yakattack Blackpack Pro 13x16 with the following accessories: Omega Pro Rod Holder , GridLoc MightyMount with 90 Degree Adapter, and 2 extra tether tube rod holders for a total of 6.

[@dalefogle7060]

Great video. I'd go with a 13x16, lock-n-load base, 90deg gridlock & one of the new tracpack.

[@swimbaitonaprairie9359]

black pack 13x16 tether tube pan fish pro camera mount visicarbon pole great video love it

[@arthurshupe7411]

Thank you Chad. I would go with the 16x16 crate,visicarbon pole and tether tube rod holder.

[@chrisfreeman6540]

Great video and i probably go with a blackpak 13×16, 2 track paks, omega pro rod holder, leverage landing net

[@wam-uu5fj]

[@hunterhoward8194]

Would have to go with the black pack pro 13X16 with a mighty mount, and 2 tether tube rod holders! Very informative walk through brother

[@WadeOntheLure]

BlackPak Pro Kayak FishingCrate - 13" x 16' with a PanFish Pro™ Camera Mount, VISICarbon Pro™, CPM, Includes Mighty Mount and Hardware, and GridLoc MightyMount XL 12”. Thanks for share and bringing safety into the mix, and thank you for your service!!

[@steve_y]

Great video. Ive watched it a couple times taking notes. I would have to go with a BlackPak Pro 16x16, TracPack 2 pack, and a Panfish Pro.

[@Kawika412]

Great breakdown video chad! Would be awesome to have the black pack 16x16 with tether tube 2 pack and some track packs! Tight lines! 🤙

[@CasualBassGuy]

Yak Attack BlackPak Pro 13x16- Black Visicarbon Pro TrackPak x2 Panfish Pro Love the organization and fidgeting/customization that comes with gear setup

[@tonysmith3923]

Hiya Chad. Thanks for another informative video. Still new to kayaks and fishing from one so I'm at the basic stage of my yak and a paddle. Ive bought a yakattack rod holder and their tow and stow cart. This backpack pro crate has went on my Christmas list this year as my next accessory to dive in to for my adventures. i also like the bag idea you have on the back of your seat. I will definitely be looking into that as well. So yea the yakattack Blackpack pro 13x16(so i have a little side space) would fit perfectly. I would mount 2 of the rod holders, maybe a third for sticking a net into and maybe a gear track mounted on it for more options to mount stuff and maybe some sort of anchor setup like an anchor wizard. Some sort of tool storage caddy as well. I couldn't find a place on yakattacks page to comment on like you say in your video so im commenting here like the rest. Again thank you for all you do, you have taught me many things on your vids the last few months.

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks, I meant visit the website and comment here. 😜

[@andyleonard7388]

Good Video Yakattack Blackpack Pro 13 x 16 with 4 tether tube turret's and a VisiCarbon Pro mounted with the Might Mount on the top

[@SkippinSkippy28]

Awesome video as always Chad. i would do the 13/16 black pack, 2 track packs and a visicarbon pro

[@Alexanderjcarlson]

Oh man, as I get more and more into Kayak fishing (Just bought my first 'Yak a couple of months ago, but I live in MN so only got about 6 weeks of fishing :() I have been eying the Yakattack Blackpack Pro 13x16. I'm with you that the 16x16 feels like it'd throw the weight off on the yak (As a fellow bigger guy). For accessories, I'd definitely do the 2 pack of tethertubes, the Visiflag II with the Mighty Mount, and then the Gridlock Mightymount XL 12" so I could mount my bluetooth speaker to the top of the pack for music while I'm fishing :D

[@valleyshenanigans]

Awesome video Chad. I would go with the black pack pro 16×16 as far as accessories definitely the trac pack combo kit and finally the trac pack quick release mount. I'm definitely gonna do a #kayak crate challenge

[@Yak-Fishin-inMs]

Yakattack black pack pro 13x16. I would mount a panfish pro camera mount, and 2 grid lock mighty mount xl 12" track. Great job! I enjoy your videos.

[@onemorecast8877]

Thanks Jay from #BeardedDadFishing for challenging Chad to do this crate challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed your break down of your crate and you got the wheels turning on what I'd like to change on my current setup. I think I would change to a 16x16 black pack pro, a couple turret tubes, and boomstick pro. Thank you Chad and God Bless brother!

[@richardsousa2625]

First snow fall of the year in NH and Chads got me thinking about gear mods 😂. Biggest kayak upgrade I made this year was making smaller tackle boxes. One terminal tackle, and two others matched for the rods in using that day. Keeps me from weighing myself down

[@ChadHooverFishing]

I like it. That’s kinda what I’ve been working on too

[@paulbrownjr8676]

Pro pack 13x16 would be good. I’d mount 4 pack rod holders, 1 mighty mount for a speaker probably, and find a way to add a set of wheels to move the kayak from truck to water

[@RexReelin]

Great video. II would go with the black pack pro 13x16, trackpack 2 pack and a tethertube 2 pack

[@stevenburge293]

Thank you for always always always mentioning having a first aid kit. Most underrated piece of gear out there. Do you carry wire cutters also for hooks?

[@STinGa157]

Wow ... my mind hurts now. I am a minimalist by choice. When you have back ups to the back ups, I was thinking “holy cow”. Granted, since you are guiding out of your boat, you are running a business and have a totally different mindset. You definitely know where everything is, and that IS what counts. Thanks for your walk through!

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Thanks and you are right. If it’s just me fishing and I’m on ‘em, I just grab three rods, two bags and go smash ‘em

[@STinGa157]

Awesome video by the way! I would probably do the Blackpack Pro 13x16 Tethertube rod holder Mighty mount Tracpac

[@steves7345]

Black pack pro 13x16 and for accessories I would use the teather tubes, a visi pole 2 , and last a 12" gridlock trac on top so I can change items depending were I'm fishing and what I might need.

[@DamonDean7AcreSky]

For a year I have been bad wanting a crate system for my P127... now I see how much a MUST it is. Been operating out of a fishing backpack, but this video is majorly helpful.

[@DamonDean7AcreSky]

I'd use the 13x16 BlackPak Pro, w 4 tether tube rod holders, and the trak-pack combo kit. That would vastly improve my gear situation.

[@danielpierce6524]

Sweet setup! My dream yakattack crate would be: Blackpak pro 16x16 Tethertube Turret Gridloc mightmount XL 12” TracPak stacked

[@kevinbarton4012]

Still getting my stuff for my P127. Just gave my kids my wish list. I have to see what I get for Christmas. They wanted to know what to get me and I showed them pictures. Hopefully I get the pack to hang on the seat back and a yak attack crate. Talk about first aid, I really need to get some for the vehicles and the kayak. Had an issue when I was out with the truck, napkins didn't help much.

[@334getfishin]

Great video, I would do the blackpack pro with the panfish pro camera mount, the visicarbon pro,and the 2 track pack kit

That’s all that matters…. LOL

I've got 2 blackpak 13x16 but really wish we had a 13x13! Wife typically doesn't take enough to need the bigger box.

[@adwhite804]

Man that’s a nice setup sir! I own exactly zero yak attack products at the moment! But I know they are somewhat local. And gotta support. Only issue is, so I get the track adapters for feel free yaks? Or replace the mfr ( if it can fit & ok by warranty standards) with yak attack rail system? Hmmmm. Great info sir

[@SargesAdventures]

Black Pack Pro 13x16 Booom Stick Camara mount Dual TrackPak boxes Mighty moint. Will def have to do a vid on my 16x16 setup in the future on my channel.... thanks Chad for the video and chance to win.

[@Downs719]

I don’t know about y’all but I saw around 5 back up to the back up on chads setup lol. But better safe then sorry right? I’ll need the 16x16 YakAttack blackpak on my rig because I’m the same way. I’ll rather have everything at hand then not having it at all. I’ll try to diy everything on it like lines, tools and dry spot depending on the season.

[@GreatWyrmLord]

Is it possible to attach anything to the bottom of the BlackPak like a TracPak so when you open the lid, it already there and less items for you to dig through? Not sure if the lid hinges are strong enough to hold a TracPak.

[@DavidWolf-ue7ij]

YakAttack BlackPac Pro 13 x 16, 4 tether tube turrents for those brushy streams and rivers, 4 TetherTube Rod Holders, and a YakAttack TracPak Stackable Sorage Box on top for my first aid kit. I hate when my first aid kit gets wet.
