Unleash Your Potential: Why Standing in a Kayak Matters

Standing in a kayak offers a myriad of advantages that can significantly elevate your time on the water, especially for fishing and photography.

• Enhanced Visibility and Sight Fishing: Standing provides a higher vantage point, allowing you to see deeper into the water, spot fish, and identify underwater structures more easily. This is crucial for sight fishing in clear waters, where detecting subtle movements or camouflaged prey can make all the difference.
• Improved Casting Accuracy and Distance: Standing allows for a more natural and powerful casting motion, leading to greater accuracy and increased casting distance. This means you can cover more water and place your lure precisely where you need it, even in challenging conditions.
• Reduced Fatigue and Increased Comfort: Prolonged sitting can lead to discomfort and fatigue. Standing occasionally allows you to stretch, change positions, and alleviate pressure points, making long days on the water far more enjoyable and sustainable.
• Better Access to Gear: With the ability to stand and move slightly, accessing tackle boxes, coolers, or other gear stowed behind you becomes significantly easier.
• Safety and Re-entry: The CommandStand™ provides a secure handhold, making it safer to stand up and sit down. In the event of an accidental capsize, it offers a sturdy point of leverage for re-entering your kayak, enhancing overall safety and confidence.
• Versatile Photography and Filming: Standing opens up new angles and perspectives for capturing stunning photos and videos, turning your kayak into an ideal mobile platform for documenting your adventures.

The primary obstacle to enjoying these benefits is often the perceived instability of a kayak. The YakAttack CommandStand™ directly tackles this concern, providing a robust and dependable support system that inspires confidence.

Introducing the YakAttack CommandStand™: The Ultimate Kayak Standing Solution

The YakAttack CommandStand™ is meticulously engineered to provide superior stability and functionality. Its core design revolves around a unique crossbar system that allows for adjustable width, ensuring a perfect, secure fit on most kayaks, whether they feature a track system or a flat surface for mounting. This adaptability means you won't need to worry about compatibility; the CommandStand™ is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing kayak setup.

The thoughtful design extends to its assembly and deployment. While initial assembly requires a single hex key (conveniently included with your purchase), the brilliance lies in its tool-free operation once assembled. The innovative pin-and-tether design empowers you to deploy, lay down, or completely break down the CommandStand™ for stowing with remarkable speed and ease. This means more time fishing and less time fumbling with gear.

More Than Just a Stand-Assist Bar: A Fully Integrated Fishing Station

While its primary function is to provide stable support for standing, the CommandStand™ far surpasses the capabilities of a simple stand-assist bar. It transforms into a versatile, integrated fishing station, offering dedicated solutions for paddle storage and accessory mounting, crucial elements for any serious kayak angler or paddler.

• Integrated Paddle Management with RotoGrip Paddle Holders: One of the most common dilemmas for kayakers is where to keep their paddle when not in use. The CommandStand™ thoughtfully incorporates two RotoGrip Paddle Holders. These robust, spring-loaded holders securely grip your paddle shaft, keeping it precisely where you need it – within easy reach for quick deployment – yet completely out of the way when you’re actively fishing, casting, or handling a fish. No more fumbling, no more paddles drifting away; just efficient, secure storage that enhances your focus on the task at hand.
• Expand Your Rigging Potential with MightyMount Bar Clamps: The true genius of the CommandStand™ as a fishing station lies in its two integrated MightyMount Bar Clamps. These clamps are strategically positioned to allow you to effortlessly attach any YakAttack accessory utilizing a single t-bolt. This opens up a world of customization, enabling you to tailor your kayak’s setup to your exact needs.

Imagine the possibilities:

• Rod Holders: Instantly add a Zooka Tube, Omega Rod Holder, or DoubleHeader to keep your fishing rods secure and accessible while you're standing, paddling, or tending to other tasks. This is ideal for trolling, holding a spare rod, or securing your primary rod while unhooking a fish.
• Cup Holders: Keep your hydration or favorite beverage within arm's reach with a multi-purpose cup holder.
• Camera Mounts: Attach a Panfish Portrait or other camera mounts to capture stunning photos and videos of your adventures from a stable, elevated perspective. Document your catches, your surroundings, or create compelling content for your audience.
• Fish Finder Mounts: While a dedicated track mount is often preferred for larger fishfinders, smaller units or transducers can sometimes be adapted for convenient viewing from the CommandStand™.
• Accessory Tracks: For ultimate versatility, you could even mount a short piece of GearTrac to one of the MightyMount Bar Clamps, further expanding your accessory options.

This integrated system ensures that your essential tools and accessories are always right where you need them, enhancing efficiency and maximizing your time on the water. All compatible YakAttack accessories are available at DEGuns, making it simple to complete your ultimate kayak rigging setup.

Ingenious Design and Effortless Usability

The YakAttack CommandStand™ is a testament to user-centric design. Its features are crafted to maximize convenience and minimize hassle:

• Adjustable Width for Universal Fit: The unique crossbar design is a standout feature, allowing you to fine-tune the width of the CommandStand™ for a snug and secure fit on nearly any kayak. This adaptability eliminates guesswork and ensures a stable platform regardless of your kayak's specific dimensions.
• Tool-Free Deployment and Breakdown: The innovative pin-and-tether system is a game-changer. With a quick pull of just two pins, the CommandStand™ can be effortlessly laid down onto the forward deck of your kayak, ideal for navigating low bridges, clearing obstacles, or simply reducing wind resistance while paddling. For complete breakdown and compact storage, a total of six pins (four at the base and two at the crossbar) can be pulled, allowing the entire unit to collapse into a tidy, manageable bundle.
• Compact Stowage: Once broken down, the CommandStand™ packs neatly into the included mesh carrying bag, complete with a comfortable shoulder strap. This makes transportation to and from the water, as well as storage in your vehicle or garage, incredibly convenient and space-efficient. It’s designed to be portable and easily managed, not a bulky burden.

Built to Last: Premium Materials and American Craftsmanship

Durability and longevity are hallmarks of YakAttack products, and the CommandStand™ is no exception. It is proudly Made in the USA from premium materials, engineered to withstand the rigors of marine environments and provide a lifetime of reliable use, even in the harshest conditions.

• Anodized Aluminum: The primary frame components are constructed from high-grade anodized aluminum. This material is lightweight yet incredibly strong, providing the necessary rigidity for stability. Anodization offers superior corrosion resistance, crucial for saltwater environments, ensuring your CommandStand™ maintains its integrity and appearance for years to come.
• UV Stable Polymers: Components like the RotoGrip Paddle Holders and other plastic parts are made from UV stable polymers. This material resists degradation from prolonged exposure to sunlight, preventing cracking, fading, and brittleness, thus preserving the functionality and aesthetics of the unit.
• Coated and Uncoated Stainless Steel Hardware: All fasteners and critical hardware are made from a combination of coated and uncoated stainless steel. Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance, and specific coatings further enhance its protection against rust and saltwater damage, guaranteeing reliable performance and easy operation of the pin mechanisms.

This commitment to quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship ensures that your investment in the YakAttack CommandStand™ will pay dividends in terms of performance, reliability, and peace of mind on every single outing. This product is also Patent Pending, reflecting its unique and innovative design.
