For a heavier kayak like your Old Town Predator the best option for securing it onto the Thule WingBar Crossbars of your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon is with the high-capacity Malone MegaWing # MPG207. This wing-style carrier is specifically designed for fishing kayaks like this and it's wide base allows for easy loading from the rear of your Outback. It can handle a kayak of up to 150 pounds and the clamp-around mounting brackets will work great with the Thule crossbars.

The necessary tie-down straps are also included to secure everything in place.
