I recently bought a Pro Angler 14 from my semi local dealer after a year of going back and forth on whether to buy one or not. I figured I should go big or go home with the mods just to get it all at once instead of piece by piece so here it is.

For mods I have the anchor trolley kit, 2 rod tube extenders, Lowrance Elite 4 HDI, fish finder install kit III, Fishfinder mount II, 2 12 inch yak attack greatracs, 2 yak zooka rod holders with 1.5 in ram balls, mirage drive leash, a small cleat for the anchor, 3 lb clamshell anchor and cord, milkcrate with the 3 rod holder kit and miscellaneous and other fishing related stuff such as net, fish grippers, fish measuring board, etc.and the heavy duty wheeled cart.

It took some time to get everything installed the way I wanted to but I am happy with the way everything came out. The kayak works great and on my first trip with it I caught 8 brown trout and a rainbow. It will be seeing salt water within two weeks after I get my vhf radio and kayak dry pants in the mail.

Suggest adding a safety flag/pole with light, hand/manual bilge pump and a 25' bow line just in case you need a tow...it's long enough to throw/cast to someone in an emergency.

I did forget to mention I do have the safety flag with light also and 100 feet of anchor line in the kayak at all times. The only thing I don't have is the bilge pump.

Better add a 24 pack Polar Bear cooler as it fits perfectly behind the seat :mrgreen:
