Takes some thought on getting the backing plates installed inside the hull where you can't reach, but it can be done. Look online for ideas. I wouldn't install the kit without the backing plates, worth the extra time and money. Kit works flawless, and allows you to anchor how you need to for casting in a current.Well worth the money, will buy again for my next Kayak.

I put it on an Old Town Salty 120 PDL kayak. It works perfectly.

When I realized I did not have any way of using the backing plates, I was going to use this as the standard kit. Everything in the standard kit is in the HD kit. After install, I found a video that showed a technique using string to mount the backing plates when there is no physical access to the mounting point.I couldn't be happier with this kit, and with my new technique, I will be leveraging more secure mounting solutions similar to this.There break system work great, the line is solid, and the pulleys and extra guides included in this kit make for a very functional solution.

Excellent setup. Installed this on my vibe sheerwater. Comes with all the components you need and is rock solid when installed properly. Haven’t fully put it to the test yet but expect it to work great. Thinking about adding an anchor wizard for cable management and I’ll be set.

This is a good trolley system, perhaps the best on the market but crazy expensive for a bit of plastic, cord, and a handful of screws. However, be aware that this cord will shrink considerably after it gets wet then dries in the hot sun. Had to cut the line and use a thicker rope with a bit more stretch since there is no shock absorption to this system...which is fine because it's tight against the kayak hull to reduce noise compared to the bungee style trolleys. The Stealth pulleys rock and are low profile to keep from snagging lines.

Great kit. Some people say they don’t like the stealth pullies, I don’t see the issue.... I prefer these over stainless. Not for longevity, but for weight savings. This kit was installed on an ascend fs10. The sides aren’t very tall so the bottom part of the loop likes to try and go below the kayak sometimes. But it is no fault of the trolley kit. Will be buying one for the other side soon. The line lock works flawlessly.

I know a lot of people are up in arms over the replacing the Harken pullies with the YakAttack Stealth pullies, but I have stainless steel Harken pullies on the anchor trolley on my older kayak, and there's literally no difference in performance. As a matter of fact, if I had to choose, I'd say the YakAttack Stealth Pullies are smoother.So with that out of the way, I can say that I truly do love this anchor trolley. My kayak (a Perception Striker 11.5) came with what Perception laughably calls an "anchor trolley", but it's horrible. It's literally made up of very low quality line with four round padeyes that are simply not designed to be used with an anchor trolley (they're made to be used with a rudder deployment system). There were no pulleys at all. The lower line was always coming up over the top of the kayak when using it and because they used round padeyes instead of pulleys it was really difficult to slide the trolley ring toward the bow/stern. Just completely useless. So I had to drill out the rivets and replace it as best I could with this YakAttack LeverLoc HD Trolley. I ended up having to put several rivets back in just to seal holes that I couldn't use or cover with the new trolley install, but it turned out looking really great. I was able to do almost the entire install with nuts/bolts due to good access to the inside of my kayak (lucky) and I used YakAttack Rigging Bullets to install the stern pulley. The only exception was one of the padeye hooks (had to use rivets), but those have the least amount of stress on them, so it's all good. I ended up only using two out of the four padeye hooks (because of existing holes and placement/spacing), but everything turned out to be perfectly spaced out anyway.One thing I did do was replace the trolley line that was included. YakAttack should probably just include plain black rather than committing to a rather bright color combo of black and hi-vis orange. I bought custom color 600lb break strength paracord that is the perfect two color green match to my green camo kayak. I don't see a reason for an anchor trolley line to have florescent hi-vis orange stripes in it. It's not like it's going to help my kayak show up on the water or help me see my anchor trolley better when using it in the kayak, etc. (haha) The custom green color looks awesome!I'm probably going to replace the trolley (with the stainless Harken pulleys) on my other kayak with this one as well.

Love it. Very easy to install using the instructions provided by YakAttack. I did have to buy the rigging bullets in order to install with the backing plates. But since I am installing on two identical kayaks (mine and my wife's Wilderness A.T.A.K 140) and because I wanted the added protection I decided it was worth the extra money. For what I have spent on the kayaks and all of the accessories, including my time to install, they were well worth the few extra dollars. I wish YakAttack would have simply included them but if they did then I guess I wouldn't have bought them. :-)As for the function, I could not be happier. It does just what it is designed to do and it does it well. The locking lever is an excellent choice. Makes it too easy to set my position relative to the area I am fishing and not have to worry about it. Set and forget!
