The H-Crate holds plenty of tackle and lifts out easily for transport. It has four built-in rod holders with shock cord retainers, grid walls for adding more rod holders, and skid pads that dampen sound and grip the kayak. The H-Rail handles add structure, work as carry handles and serve as a mounting platform for H-Rail accessories.

Good to know
- Measure your tankwell against the 17.45 x 14.14 inch outer footprint if you paddle a non-Hobie kayak.
- Cinch the adjustable straps tight before launching so the crate doesn’t shift.
KayakDIY take: A crate that doubles as a mounting platform means fewer holes drilled in the hull. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
