Gear tracks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well after 18 months of trolling this site and waiting for the right timing, I finally pulled the trigger on a Malibu stealth 12 yesterday at the OEX parking lot sale.

After using a float tube in the harbors since I moved here, this is a big upgrade. First step is to get some tracks put on, but after looking through here, Amazon, and a few other sites I realized I needed a little guidance.

Any major differences in brands? Scotty, RAM, or yakattack. If I chose a rail system, am I then locked in to only using that brands products or are the tracks universal?

I do about 80 to 90 % fly fishing so having the right rod holders is a necessity. It looks like both RAM and Scotty have specific fly rod holders, but I couldn't find anything for yakattack.

Any suggestions on best brands? etc.

Also I will be fishing mostly out of Oxnard and Malibu, hopefully I will get to know some of you guys in the near future!
