| July 2009 -- Kayak Accessories: Storage | |
Simplicity was one of the original features of fishing out of a kayak that I really enjoyed. The fact that a kayak gave me access to fish that had been out of reach was the biggest advantage and still is but I do love the simplicity of kayak fishing. Over the years as kayak fishing became popular I noticed that people were making it complicated by trying to carry too much stuff with them and literally "overloading the boat" as the saying goes. We have to remember that one of the disadvantages of kayak fishing is that you have limited space to carry gear so it is real important to stow your gear systematically and try to optimize the space that you have available. |

| In order to be as efficient as possible we have designed a line of storage bags and coolers that actually fit each and every model of our Native Watercraft Kayaks. These bags allow you to utilize all available space in the kayak. These bags can also be used with other brands and models of kayaks as well All of the bags are insulated and can be utilized as a cooler or a storage bag which gives you a multipurpose bag that increases storage capacity options dramatically. The following is a list of bags: |
~~Behind the Seat Cooler Bag is designed to fit right behind the seat and it can be utilized as a cooler or for gear storage.
~~Little Buddy Cooler Bag is a smaller bag for traveling light and can be used as a cooler or for storage on those shorter trips.
~~Big Boy Cooler Bag is the work horse of the cooler bags. This bag is separated down the middle so you can put drinks/food in one side and fish in the other side or you can use one side for storage with ice in the other side.
~~Ultimate 12 Bow Bag is designed to fit in the bow of the Ultimate 12 and can be used for storage or a cooler.
~~Ultimate 12/16 Stern Bag is designed to fit in the stern of the Ultimate 12 or 16 it has a separation down the middle so you can keep your drinks/food separate from your fish or you can just use it for storage.
~~Ultimate 14.5 Stern Bag is the same as the ultimate 12/16 stern bag but is designed to fit in the stern of the Ultimate 14.5 |
| ~~Fish Storage Cooler Bag which comes in a large and a medium size can be used for fish/food/drinks/ or just plain storage. It fits in the bow with easy zippered access from the back of the bag or the whole bag can be opened for cleaning easy access to gear. |  |
| ~~Insulated Fishing Tackle Bag with Rod Holders this bag will accommodate tackle boxes and other fishing gear. It has a cover that is held in place with Velcro which allows you easy access from any direction with out fumbling with a zipper. It has six rod holders on the outside for rods, landing net, or Boga grip. The bag is insulated so it can be used as a cooler or for tackle. |

All of the bags are designed to fit in the Native Watercraft kayaks but can be used in most other brands of kayaks. They have many other uses other than kayak use. I use mine just like any soft sided cooler and they do not take up as much room as a hard sided cooler. They are easier to pack into smaller areas in power boats and vehicles because they are flexible. The brand name for our accessories is Watertrail Paddling Gear.
