Security for Kayaks, Fishing Gear & Trailers! 

Yep i would say i dont need it hear but thats what I thought about that saz saw that grew legs bit im going to try for a road trin next year and am thinking about this stuff now so i can start a safe build

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the video and no, this was NOT a paid or sponsored promo. I actually had initially ordered different locks for the trailer, but came across a few other videos on RU-vid where those locks were defeated in less than 5 seconds and it "opened my eyes" to how adepts thieves can be. Excellent point about using chains. I actually meant to advise others to use thick chains versus a cable for securing their kayaks as thieves will likely have a pair of bolt cutters in their arsenal and cables are easily cut. I haven't added up the $$ I have in my kayak and fishing gear (mainly so I don't have to tell my wife!!) but it is enough to make me think twice about letting someone steal everything in under 2 minutes and sell it on FB Marketplace or Craigslist in under 24 hours. I appreciate your quality, customer service and the fact that you are a USA made company. Happy to recommend you to other kayak fishermen who want to protect their investment!

You should try to work a deal with proven Indusrties to sell your puck locks in their coupler lock.

@@Astrogeek61 Well... it was PACLOCK who got him where he is in terms of his good graces for padlocks. We used to OEM manufacture his pucks for him from when he was a start-up and for about the first six years of his company's existence. There's a whole crazy back and forth with juicy details in a LockPickingLawyer video that I'd rather not detail again. But I'll just say that, while Proven has good products, the guy running the company is not someone I'd want to ever associate with again. We broke off the relationship with them. Recently we even filed a legal complaint against him and his company for his company starting up a website to blackmail PACLOCK into not saying bad things about his company... we won, he lost. That's public domain type stuff that you can google and find. That's worth a read as well because it gives you insight into the guy running that company. Our plans are to simply come out with our own "Proven-Like" products to go after his business. Stay tuned...

@@paclockpres.9805 sorry to hear about the legal woes. I have one of their trailer hitch locks and it's a good product. I'm very impressed with your products and company, and recently bought a whole suite of UCS locks from you for my small travel trailer. After spending more than $25k on the trailer I didn't want it disappear from my driveway. I'm probably also going to replace some other locks around the house so I can carry fewer keys. Thanks for your products, and for the feedback.

Thanks KPD! I had a buddy have his landscaping trailer (with all of his equipment) stolen and started adding up all the fishing and kayak gear in my mind - decided to research and invest a little more in security than a $7 hitch pin lock and a couple of Masterlocks to ensure someone isn't catching MY FISH with MY GEAR!

Thank you! Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

Thank you!

Thanks! I ordered the scupper chain off Amazon.

yes kayaks usually have a HIN (hull identification number) its needed as ohio requires registration of boats

All the locks are keyed the same..one key on my keychain for all of them. One of the reasons I went with Paclocks.

There’s a lot of boat ramps near me that’s its common to have trucks with no tailgates and window smashed out all from thieves.

No idea how it is up North,, but trailer thieves are prevalent considering it can only take a few seconds when not properly secured.. Pretty sure I didn't spend $1000 on locks - but when you add up a pedal drive kayak, several rods/reels and other gear - I wouldn't trust it to a $5 padlock and hitch lock.

I'm not knocking on what you did but it still can be gotten. I talked with a guy who had his stuff pretty secure because of previous problems with theft. He did a high dollar locks on the hitch and chains used carriage bolts where he could and chained his wheels. But a gas torch and a winch on a lowboy trailer and he still lost everything. The chains and the front part of the hitch was still on his truck. The cops were eventually arrested the crooks but his stuff was already gone. If they want it they're going to get it.

@@keithhughes2936 You are correct. If someone has enough motivation, tools and time - it can happen to anyone. I'm just trying to make it as difficult as possible. The trailer and kayak are locked in my garage when not hooked up to the truck.

@@scottmiller9213 exactly. a determined thief will get whatever they want. Ive also seen locking wheel chocks used to make it harder. Most thieves look for an easy target. They see something like this and they will likely move on to the next one. Its sad that its needed. Also a motion sensing alarm is good too.
