Which Racks work best? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have Yakimas too, though they’re the Outdoorsman(?) for the bed of my truck. I didn’t opt for any kayak attachments – I just throw it up on the racks. The hull gets dented from the cross bars. Probably not the best for the hull but I haven’t sunk yet.

Got them at REI. Took them off my Tacoma to put on my Tundra for a road trip a few years ago and found that the base that attaches to the rail of the truck bed was rusting (along with the hardware). Took them back to REI over a year later and they gave me a new set (return policy is why I bought them there in the first place).

Anyway, overall I like them. Thule has some decent racks as well.
