Make your fishing kayak more usable, safe, and comfortable with these self-install pad eyes. We’ve written a lot about fishing kayaks and accessories, but few products stand out as this useful and cost-effective all at once. In effect, a value-added kayak upgrade without the price tag attached.

Our Website: Consumer information and financial advice, exclusively for outdoors enthusiasts.  Our Alerts: “If it affects your enjoyment of the outdoors and your wallet, we cover it!”

What You Need To Know

Issue: No matter what kayak you purchase, once you’ve used it a few times, you’ll start to spot how you’d wish you had more ways to secure and tie down your accessories, ropes and ties.  Rather than rely just on the kayak manufacturer and their mass production limitations, you can customize your craft to fit your own size, equipment, and preferences.  We like to keep an eye out for value for our readers, and this is just that.

Action: First, decide whether you prefer to use the self-grabbing rivets or nut and bolt installation.  We prefer the rivets, for ease of installation in places that are normally hard to reach with nut and bold installed versions.  Then, order this product, follow instructions, and after just a few minutes of installation you’ll have customized tie points wherever you need them.
