YAKRIG LABS
ORIGIN

Built by an angler. For anglers.


YakRig Labs was born from a simple mission: build the ultimate kayak setup to catch more fish and stay out longer. What started as one angler tinkering in his garage has grown into a brand trusted by kayak anglers everywhere.

BUILT FROM A PASSION TO RIG THE ULTIMATE KAYAK

I’ve been a tournament kayak angler for over 6 seasons, chasing podiums and constantly dialing in my setup. In 2023 and 2024, that grind paid off—back-to-back Angler of the Year.

My journey started like most—on a simple 10-foot kayak with a paddle. Every upgrade taught me something, but nothing was truly dialed in. That all changed when I stepped into the Old Town AutoPilot 136 and paired it with Garmin electronics. It’s the perfect platform—and I set out to build the perfect rig.

In the beginning, I pieced everything together with parts from Amazon and Home Depot. It worked… mostly. But I knew it could be better.

That’s when I discovered 3D printing—and everything changed.
