Yakima BigCatch
Best heavy-duty carrier for transporting large fishing kayaks securely.
This is the heavy-lifter you need if your fishing kayak is too cumbersome for standard racks. While the oversized, rubber-padded cradles add some bulk to your roof profile, they provide the necessary stability and hull protection to transport even the heaviest rigs with total peace of mind.
