@@stevenarnott9800 thanks Steven

Ian Wilson thanks for your comments much appreciated, where about in the world are you from?

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Living in SE Cornwall on a tidal creek of the Tamar, but genetically Scottish.

Ian Wilson cool, I lived down that way for a couple of years absolutely loved it, the beaches and sea fishing are amazing,

Hi Andrew, thanks for commenting. I’ve had many questions about the cradles, unfortunately I can’t answer it as I got them with my first used kayak and there is no branded name or serial number on them.

love it skateraw braw

No problem mate, happy to help

Thanks Carol

Cheers👍🎣

You only need to get the bow onto the V and everything is easy after that

Cheers Alex, once you get the bow on it’s really easy to slide it on. Half the battle is just stopping the bow from sliding of the back of the car, which the pvc V shape helps to keep it in place. Thanks for watching and your feedback, very much appreciated👍

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks, you have some very good content on your channel. I've now ordered some bombarder floats and sea flies to try out since watching one of your videos. Cheers

@@Alexxx---101 cheers Alex, tight lines

Thanks for commenting. Sorry I don’t know what brand it is as there is no name on it. I got this as a package with my first pre-owned kayak. Many other viewers have asked the same question and I can’t find a similar kayak carrier anywhere.

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks for getting back to me. No worries. Back to your loading rack design...I bet it will solve my Hobie Outback's tendency to slide sideward when unloading. Thanks for the great inspirations. Much appreciate. Louis

@@ddavideo thanks Louis, I’m very confident it will solve the issue.

Thanks for your feedback and comments Barry. With the bolts they easily just drop in the holes which takes seconds to put on and take off. You could use this in a similar way with your straps but would probably need extra padding on the unloaded as it would sit on the roof of your vehicle which will protect the paintwork from scratching.

Thanks for comment J, unfortunately I got it used and there is no name or markings on it.

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Thanks for getting back to me! I'm also trying to make a load assist. It almost perfect, except the possibility of rolling off bars, so back to the drawing board. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Hi I have been asked this question many times. I got this kayak cradle with my first used kayak and unfortunately I can’t answer that question as there is no brand name or serial number on it.

Tarpon is a nice kayak. Hat off to you Sir for helping with our litter problem.If your kayak overhangs your vehicle it is always better to use something that is visible to other road users, I use a piece of high vis vest and keep a couple spare in the car just in case it falls off👍

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Hahaaa, so you’re the one who keeps leaving pieces of hi-vis vest on my litterpicks, hahahaaaaa. Thanks for the help, gonna drive extra slow and maybe pit some flashing bike lights on the ends🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♀️❤️

I’m unsure as I got them free with my first kayak. There’s no branding or serial number on them.

Hi John, I think I used 40mm

Hi mate, I got it with my first kayak and it doesn’t have a brand name on it, sorry I’ve no idea where it came from

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks for your replies decided to go with cross bar pads and carry the kayak upside down. Used a moving blanket and had some nylon straps sewen on each corner 2 with long velcro straps to go over the cross bars and 2 loops at the bottom to attach bungee cords that hook to the rear tow hook under the rear bumper. gett a kayak soon just getting ready for it: Roof rack found all the parts on e-Bay 40-75% off regular price all new parts from people who changed their minds. Cross bar pads coming soon. Then the kayak really miss kayaking here in Florida near the Gulf of Mexico and 4 blocks from a bay. 76 and still kayaking.... rentals now and then. Time for my own kayak again. Really liked your video.... inspiring.

Many thanks Phil, stay safe and tight lines when you get your kayak

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing will do thanks

Brian Clark I tried that with my first kayak but the wind caught the yak and the bow slid off the car, I just thought I would share the mod to others as an alternative as it was so easy to make. Appreciated the comment Brian👍

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Fully understand, I use the two mats as one so they are fairly heavy rubber door mats that I bought from Aldi for about £8 heavy and easily used for last 3 years. But enjoyed your video

Brian Clark much appreciated mate, stay safe👍

Mats are great if you don't have a (weak) spoiler on the back of the car which wouldnt be able to take the weight of the kayak. This idea takes the weight and spreads it across the car's roof. I'm just about to make another one having changed cars to one with a relatively weak spoiler. This design is better and more compact than the ones I have made in the past. Thanks! I have used a larger diameter tube over the main load bearing tube which acts as a roller and aids loading.

Many thanks Adrian

Thanks👍

I’m 6ft tall. There was a raised grass area behind the car that I was standing on so the car probably looks lower than normal.
