Best kayak fishing accessories starter kits

Start with the YakAttack Kayak Fishing Starter Pack. It's the one kit built around real rigging hardware — an Omega rod holder on a LockNLoad base and a long GridLoc MightyMount — so it mounts cleanly on a track and you can add to it later instead of replacing it. Six accessories in one box makes it the least fiddly way to get a fishing kayak working.

Who the others suit:

• YakAttack Starter Pack Plus — if you want the fuller rigging kit with two mounts and stainless hardware, and don't mind doing more of the install yourself.
• Scotty Kayak Fishing Starter Pack — a solid, simple alternative if you'd rather have Scotty's familiar mounts and a low-profile track.
• Yakgear Angler Crate Kit — for someone who mainly needs a crate, rod holders and a place to stow tackle.
• Mossy Oak 24-piece crate kit — the budget route for a first trip, with a dry bag included.

Whatever you pick, add a paddle leash and a PFD if you don't have them — no kit here covers safety gear.
