H-Bar on an Outback - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That does look pretty good.

I'll keep that in mind. That's a bunch of extra accessories... and I've already got some other things for the yak in mind.

The main issue I see with that set up you have pictured is the rod holders would be between the mounts for the H-Bar and it might be difficult getting the rods out of the holders with it being located between each post. Just a lot of fumbling instead of quickly being able to grab the rod out of the holder clear and free.

If you have a 2015 or newer with the larger deck area, standing is easy. I stand in mine up to 3 foot swell. It's the chop that gets you and never straighten your knees. Even if I were to fall, it's more likely the boat would stay upright and I would fall off the side. The h-bar is great if you are unsure, you can always leave it at home if you get comfortable without it.
