Description

Rigid crossbars put your gear in one place and leave it there. The SwingArm CrossBar puts it wherever you need it that minute. A 20 inch four-sided GearTrac extrusion sits on a heavy-duty pivoting base that bolts to the track solution already on your kayak, and the pivot length is adjustable as well as the angle, so you can dial in the reach for your boat and the way you fish.

In practice that means a fish finder out in front of a pedal drive, a bait station that swings in beside the seat and back out of the way when you are landing a fish, or a rod rack behind you that does not sit in the paddle stroke. Four mounting faces mean rod holders, electronics, cameras and TracPaks all have somewhere to go. It is built from UV-stable polymers, anodized aluminum and stainless hardware, made in the USA, and carries YakAttack's Built for Life guarantee.

Features
  • Pivoting base. The whole bar swings on a heavy-duty pivot, so gear moves out of the way when you are fighting a fish and comes back when you want it.
  • Four-sided GearTrac. A 20 inch extrusion with track on all four faces. Rod holders, fish finders, cameras and TracPaks all mount without competing for space.
  • Adjustable pivot length. You can set how far the bar reaches, not just its angle, so the same part works on a narrow boat and a wide pedal-drive deck.
  • Marine-grade build. UV-stable polymers, anodized aluminum and stainless-steel hardware, the combination YakAttack use everywhere they expect salt.
  • Built for Life, made in the USA. YakAttack manufacture in the USA and back the SwingArm with their Built for Life guarantee.
Size & Fit

Best for

Is this right for you?

Running a fish finder

Mount the display forward of a pedal drive where you can actually read it, then swing it aside when you need the space.

Not for: The bar is the mount. Transducer arms, RAM balls and the finder itself are all separate. Browse kayak accessories

Building a bait station

Four track faces give you room for pliers, a cutting board, rod holders and a camera on one bar beside the seat.

Not for: Loading all four faces adds weight out on a pivot. Keep the heavy items close to the base. Everything else for the water

Keeping rods out of the way

Set it behind the seat as a rod rack that stays clear of the paddle stroke, then swing it in when you are re-rigging.

Not for: It needs an existing gear track to mount to. If your kayak has none, you will need to add track first. Browse all gear

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
Will this fit my kayak?

It is track-mounted, so the question is whether your kayak has a gear track in a usable spot rather than which brand it is. YakAttack designed the base to attach to the track solution on the boat, and the pivot length adjusts to suit different deck widths.

How long is the crossbar?

The bar itself is 20 inches. The track base is 7.63 inches, the rotating hub stands 4.75 inches tall, and the bottom of the crossbar sits 3.5 inches above the track. Those four numbers are what you need to check clearance on a crowded deck.

What can I mount on it?

Anything that takes GearTrac, which covers most of the kayak fishing world: rod holders, fish finder mounts, camera arms, TracPaks and the rest of YakAttack's own range. Four track faces means you are not choosing between them.

Does it hold position under load?

Yes. The base is a heavy-duty pivot rather than a friction joint, and you set both the angle and the pivot length before you tighten it down. Keep heavier items nearer the base and it stays where you put it.

Will it survive salt water?

That is what it is built for. UV-stable polymers, anodized aluminum and stainless-steel hardware throughout, and YakAttack back it with their Built for Life guarantee. Rinse it with fresh water after salt trips anyway.
