These heavy-duty saddles let you transport a heavy fishing or sit-on-top kayak on your roof rack crossbars. Flexible, oversized saddles provide maximum support for your kayak. Load straps and bow/stern tie-downs included. Fits most crossbars.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!
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!
Great product! Easy to install
Well made,
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.
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
Use the Big Catch on my trailer which I haul my kayak on. It works very well and I like it a lot.
Gets the job done
Works as it should. Easy to put on and remove.
Great experience, fast shipping.
Love it!

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.
