The Yamika BigCatch Kayak met all my expectations in both quality and how easy was to install it, my kayak fit like a glove and did not moved at all from my 2 1/2 trip from Ct to my house in NJ. I first contacted etrailer through email about the specs of my SUV and Kayak, George Jiggs answered all my questions 1 day after and he recommended the Yamika for my needs. Overall it was a great purchased!
by: Frank 08/27/2022
The thing I like most about them is their shape works well with different kayak hull shapes. My old Yakima mako saddles worked well for my wildy tarpon but seemed akward with my next yak; a wildy a.t.a.k 120. The Big Catch saddles did not have that problem and fits the atak very well while still working well with the tarpon. So much so I bought a second pair to go on the trailer I just bought.

This product really has been a life saver. We no longer have to flip over our 96 pound tandem Hobie Kayak when putting it on top of our Toyota 4Runner. This product, along with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches - 49" Long (which we also purchased from etrailer) make it possible for a vertically challenged couple nearing 60 to fully enjoy our wonderful pedal kayak without the headache of driving and parking a trailer. Before we purchased this, we'd get the kayak up on the roof and often had to fight the wind to get it face down to tie down onto the crossbars. That's no longer necessary with the Yakima Big Catch Kayak Saddle. Great products from a great company!

I have the ShowBoat 66 and the Big Catch Carrier on my Toyota Highlander, and these work great together loading my Old Town Salty kayak on top of my Highlander.

We use these for two heavy fishing kayaks on both truck crossbars and now a Malone trailer. They are stable and adjustable so fit and support are perfect. The staps secure the boats with no problem and zero movement.

etrailer, specifically Matthew K - helped our family secure everything needed for wonderful camping trips. The task was difficult because of supply chain issues last spring! Thank you Matthew!!

I bought this because I had limited room putting my Bonafide SS127 on my rack and roll trailer, and sometimes it will slide onto the part that holds the bars down and one time when it did that, it scratched the bottom of my kayak up pretty badly. These seem like they will be a decent solution and prevent that from happening again while holding my kayak secure.
by: Bob D06/26/2020
While I own several Yakima products I've always felt their prices were expensive. I believe these saddles are worth the price. Well made and hold my Hobie Compass securely. It seems like a very durable material, and I am pleased with the build quality.

Perfect, you guys always come through

- Recommended Kayak Carrier for Feelfree Lure II 14 Foot Kayak on 2017 Honda CR-VYour Freelfree Overdrive Lure II Tandem kayak will indeed fit on your existing roof rack. According to what I've managed to look up, the kayak weighs up to 115 lbs, which is well within the capabilities of the Yakima Jetstream roof rack you mentioned. I have the perfect carrier for you. The Yakima BigCatch # Y04091 would work great for you. Due to the width of your kayak, using a j-style carrier like the Thule # TH834 Hull-A-Port wouldn't be a good choice, but the BigCatch would allow...
view full answer... - How To Carry Two Fishing Kayaks On a 2018 Subaru Outback TouringIn order to carry kayaks on a 2018 Subaru Outback Touring you will first need to start with a roof rack, the Yakima JetStream Crossbar part # Y00425, part # Y00145, and part # Y06028 is what I recommend. Then, you can add kayak carriers which will be based on the kayaks you'll be using. In order to fit two kayaks on the roof, you can either carry both on the side with j-style cradles or one on the side with a j-style cradle and the other on the hull with a saddle style cradle. That said,...
view full answer... - Best Kayak Carrier For Ocean Malibu Two XL KayakBy far the best option for a rack to carry your Ocean Malibu Two XL kayak is the BigCatch from Yakima, which is the following part number: - Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier # Y04091 The BigCatch # Y04091 (which I verified with Yakima will fit your 4Runner) is the only carrier capable of handling both the 90 lb weight and 43 inch width of your kayak. It has four separate saddle-style cradles which you can put at the necessary width on your crossbars, and a 150 lb weight capacity. It even...
view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Carrier for Yakima Rack and Roll TrailerIn order to mount a kayak on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08106, I recommend using the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack part # Y04091 for your larger, sit-on fishing kayak and the Yakima DeckHand Kayak Roof Rack part # Y04083-2 for your more traditional, lighter sit-in kayak. These are both great, secure options for your kayak that will allow you to transport them with ease.
view full answer... - Kayak Carriers Compatible With Larger 34" Wide Kayak The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier part # Y04073 will carry a Kayak that is 34" wide as long as it does not weigh more than 80 lbs. If you are planning on carrying 2 kayaks they cannot exceed 110 lbs together. Most 34" wide kayaks like the fishing Hobie kayaks weigh more than 80 lbs so I recommend to check the weight. If your kayak fits the weight restrictions the JayLow is a great option. If your Kayak is heavier, I recommend to use the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle...
view full answer... - Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier Compared to Thule DockGlide Kayak CarrierThe Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs, # RR571 and Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH896 are similar products from two different manufacturers. Each carrier lets you easily load and carry 1 kayak on your roof rack crossbars and fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. Both options are from manufacturers that have a well earned and solid reputation for quality products. My suggestion is to select what you think is the best price point...
view full answer... - What Roof Rack Will Work with Two Sets of BigCatch Kayak Carriers on a 2018 Ford F-150?In order for the 33" Flints to work on your rack with the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier # Y04091, you will need a minimum of 66" on your crossbars. I recommend the Yakima 70" JetStream Crossbars # Y00427 to give you a little extra room. From my research, I discovered that there are no raised or flushed rails on your 2018 Ford F-150. In addition to the JetStream bars, you will need the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR and the BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06135.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a BigWater PDL 132 KayakThank you for reaching out about this! While I would normally agree that something needs to be updated, it's important to note that the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 also has a 75 lb weight capacity and from what I was able to find it looks like your BigWater PDL 132 exceeds that by at least 10 lbs depending on the exact model - so you'll want to avoid using the Hullavator Pro with your boat. If you do have a model that is at or under the 75 lb mark please send in some photos so I can see...
view full answer... - Will the Yakima Big Catch Rotate on Yakima Round BarsYes the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # Y04091 will work on your Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer. To prevent them from moving they are easy to tighten down and get really secure. With that said there is the potential for them to rotate if you put a lot of pressure on them since it is a round bar it is something that we see from time to time. You will be able to tighten them down more but I do not want to tell you that no matter what happens they will never rotate. I've...

The measurements of the overall base are 5 7/8 inches x 3/4 of an inch. The threads are 5 1/16 inches center on center and the height of the threads are 2 inches. I've attached a photo to assist.

- Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack for 2020 Subaru Ascent for Wide Fishing KayakWe do have a great option for a kayak carrier for your Nucanoe Frontier 12 fishing kayak, but the carrier you referenced is not going to work with a 41" wide kayak. Instead, I recommend a saddle-style carrier, the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04091. The included tie-downs will make it so you don't have to purchase them separately, and the BigCatch also has a 150 lb capacity, making it one of the few carriers that has the needed capacity for your Nucanoe Frontier.

view full answer... - Can I Use the Rhino-Rack Vortex with the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Saddle on a 2019 VW Golf 5 DrI'll try to tackle these in the order you asked them: 1) No, the # RRRS605B will not mount where the plastic tab is and will instead mount 7-7/8" towards the front of the vehicle from the line where the front and rear door meet- the # RRRS605B will clamp into the door jams on your 2019 VW Golf 5dr 2) It's generally a no-go when it comes to opening your moon roof with a roof rack attached to your roof. Luckily this roof rack is fairly easy to install and remove so you'll likely want to...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer for Two Titan Propel 12 KayaksThe best trailer we offer for your two Titan Propel 12 Kayaks is the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 paired with the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08110. The reason that I recommend the Rack and Roll is because of the fully independent, adjustable suspension which is going to provide a much better ride quality with less bounce when compared to the traditional leaf spring suspension system like on the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer. That said, if you...
view full answer... - Spare Wheel/Tire Kit for Yakima EasyRider Kayak CarrierI checked with Yakima and they don't offer the spare tire kit part # Y08125 for the EasyRider part # Y08129 without the tire. Only option is to get the # Y08125 . The BigCatch kayak carrier # Y04091 will fit and work great on the EasyRider.
view full answer... - Best Kayak Trailer and Carriers for Two or Four KayaksFor a kayak trailer, I'm a fan of Malone's trailers. I personally did a video on their Malone MegaSport Trailer with Saddle Style Carriers # MPG550-U since I'm a big fan of the saddle style carriers as well as their cargo boxes designed for fishing trips. Since it's such a heavy-duty kayak trailer (I jumped on the fenders to test them), it's a smooth ride and was also surprisingly easy to maneuver by hand. If you want an extra strong and sturdy kayak trailer, the MegaSport is the way to...

Roof Rack Parts - 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 - SkyLine Towers # Y53TR - Landing Pad 15 # Y00241 - Lock Core Kit # Y07204 (optional) - BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091 Trailer Parts - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer...

- Recommended Fixed Point Roof Rack for Carrying a Kayak with a 2019 Subaru ImprezaSince you are wanting to use longer crossbars I recommend going with a Yakima roof rack because the slot on the bottom of the crossbars (where they mount to the feet) extend the whole length of the bar which means you can easily choose the length crossbar that you want to use on your 2019 Subaru Impreza. Typically this roof rack consists of the 50" JetStream Bars # Y00425, the SkyLine Towers # Y53TR, and the Landing Pad 22 # Y00248. This mounts to fixed points on your roof and you can...
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier For 41 Inch Wide KayakSure thing, and for your 41 inch wide kayak, the best option is going to be a saddle style kayak carrier from Yakima: - Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091 The BigCatch # Y04091 is simple to use, clamping to your crossbars, comes with tie-downs so you don't have to make an extra purchase, and has a robust 150 lb capacity so it's particularly strong.
view full answer... - Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier for a Eddyline Caribbean 12FSThanks for the picture! I just spoke with my rep at Yakima and got some specifications and dimensions off of the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier item # Y04091 you referenced. It is 9-1/4" x 6-1/2" x 5-1/2" and has a weight capacity of 150 lbs. This carrier will work great with your Eddyline Caribbean 12FS Kayak and you will have plenty of room for your hull.

For your application I recommend using the RetraxONE XR Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60245 along with the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-5855. The tonneau cover gives you that retraceable feature you're looking for but it also has T-Slots in the rails that the adapter that come with the OverHaul HD fit directly to. I've installed a handful of our ladder racks and the...
view full answer... - What Rear-Loading Kayak Will Work for My Tandem Hobie Kayak that Weighs 99 Pounds?I went ahead and called my contact at Rhino-Rack, and they confirmed that the Nautic 581 carrier # RR581 has a maximum weight rating that is the same as the roof rack system that you mount it on. Most of the time, roof racks are rated above 99 pounds. However, if you want to be sure about the weight capacity, I recommend the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091. The BigCatch has an impressive maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds, which is plenty of capacity to accomodate...

The Replacement Saddle for Yakima Big Catch Kayak Carrier item # Y55FR is sold as a replacement option if one gets damaged or you lose it. The Yakima Big Catch Kayak Carrier item # Y04091 is compatible with Overhaul Ladder Racks item # Y01151-58 with 68" crossbars like the one you referenced and has a 150 lbs weight capacity.

For a compatible kayak carrier you need something able to handle the weight of your Hobie, and for that go with...

After a year, I couldn’t be happier with them. Their shape works well with different hull shapes and different bar shapes. For example, I have a pair on my rack and roll trailer which sports a round bar and another pair I installed on my RAV4 factory rack which is streamlined like the Yakima jet stream bars.
