ACK Review:
Good gravy this thing is awesome. The Ocean Kayak Trident Mod Pod Upgrade Kit has it all! There are multiple portal places that accept my Scotty rod holders (also excepts Canyon rod holders) and has pre-drilled holes to accept my Ram mounts to fit my GPS. It’s a much thicker plastic that is injected molded, so there are no openings to let water in! The seal along the inside lip is more water resistant than the regular rod pod.

Changed out my regular mod pod
for this one. It seals more
tightly and much more rigid
structure flexes less which
provides
a sturdier foundation for rod
holder, tri holder, etc. The
mount
holes are located in ideal
positions for whatever style
of fishing
you might want to do. The
grooves on the mod pod is
actually
large enough to hold a lot
more things than you would
first
think. When slinging lures I
was able to have as many as 6
lures
bucktail, rat-l-trap, plugs,
etc. out in these grooves
ready to go
without having to worry about
them falling out and sliding
around no matter how choppy
the water was. Very nicely
made. I
night fish a lot so it would
have been nice if the ruler on
the mod
pod was a brighter color. Not
anything that a head lamp wont
cure, but just a thought none
the less.

I dont know what to say about
the the Rod pod...it did not
fit very well.I had to remove
alot off material from the
kayak to make it fit. It would
seem otheirs had this same
problem after doing some
research.Most likley Ocean
kayaks are not cut all the
same at the factory.Otheir
than that it seems to be a
nice heavy duty cover.

seal to keep the interior dry.
The options for rod locations
are ideal.

This product is amazing!
Super easy to install, fits
like a glove, and has now
completed my Trident. Not
only is it great for storing
my gear while launching in the
surf, but I've even used it to
save space in my car while
driving out. I just put all
my gear inside the mod pod and
rack it up. Highly
recommended!

installation was. I installed
a water bottle holder,
extended Scotty rod holders
and a small cutting board for
cutting bait. The Mod Pod is
solid.

The upgrade cover is
fantastic. It installed very
easily in place of my original
cover and makes mounting items
simple. I have my fishfinder,
compass, and a Scotty rod
holder installed and the cover
is solid as a rock.

I bought this for my Prowler
11. All the reviews are right-
installation was easy, and the
rod pod works great. I added
two Cannon rod holders, and
have it almost every weekend
since. Well engineered
product.

This thing is the greatest
thing since peanut
butter! Ocean Kayak SHOULD
have had the foresight
to make the original pod cover
just like this!!!
If you own a Ocean Kayak
Prowler Trident Angler 13
like I do, this is a MUST if
you fish. The fish
finder hatch is a bit too far
away on the 13, so I
was able to mount my Piranha
160 right on the mod
pod so that it was within
reach. Awesome product.

This was a must-have upgrade
from the Rod Pod
hatch, and I wasn't
disappointed. This is one of
the easiest upgrades you can
make to your Trident
Angler. I even reused the seal
off of the Rod Pod
hatch, so I have a replacement
hanging on the wall
in the garage if needed.
I also picked up the Scotty
bait caster rod holder
along with the Scotty mini
extender. The mini
extender puts the rod holder
at the perfect
height.

Awesome mod for the pod! It allowed me to hook up a different style rod holder I designed up. You can check out the rod holder design at you tube if you want.... http://youtu.be/2FneHYIh_7o
Fast on the delivery as well and very helpful folks at A.C.K

The Mod Pod was an excellent upgrade for my boat. It was simple to install and offered versatility for accessories. The only recommendation is to also order a mount extension for the (Scotty) rod holder. The rod handle interfered with setting rod angles when mounted at deck level.

Mod Pod Upgrade was used to replace the stock rod pod cover on my '10 OK Trident 13 Angler. So much stronger and a much tighter seal. Very simple to install! Would recommend to anyone looking to swap out their rod pod cover for something more stable. Can't beat AK's prices and delivery; very fast shipping! Customer for life!

Does not seem to fit the hole quite right. Have not used it, yet, but looks very functional. Just a bit concerned about getting the lid back on after taking rods out. Practically had to stand on it to get the straps across it.

Great improvement over the standard Rod Pod. Very rigid providing much tighter seal. No locking for Scotty Rod Holders, but fit is very tight. no issues seen even when a fish hits.

The mod pod is 10X better than the OEM equipment. The ability to add/remove accessories is outstanding. The overall strength and sealing of this new design is far superior to the original that shipped with my yak. Thanks ACK for the great customer support!

This is far superior to the original hatch in terms of quality. It's much stiffer and stronger and seals perfectly, like tupperware. Note you can't use the sliding container underneath the hatch any more. But I found that container was just in my way.
Also note it's a little bigger (1/8" or so) so if you have installed compact scotty base right in front of it and it's already a tight fit to insert the rod holder, you may need to buy their short extension.
Even with these small caveats, it's worth it if you're concerned about the seal on your original rod pod hatch.

I have the trident angler 11 and this pod fit perfectly without any alterations. I had been planning on drilling additional rod holders into my Yak until this came out. Just fished with it last weekend and it is by far the best enhancement to my yak thus far. Great product and service from Austin Kayak. Their price cannot be beat....

Austin Kayak is great as always. I got the modular rod pod upgrade for my Trident 15, which had the rod pod installed from the factory. One downside to this upgrade is that you will lose the sliding tray, which I used to use to store my wallet, phone, and some stuff that is better kept dry but accessible. Yes the Scotty holes do not lock, but the standard Scotty holders fit snug, and you can use the multitude of pre-set holes to lash the holder down if you are worried. Having front mounted rod holder spots is worth the price alone. It is well made, fits snug. I will end up getting another rod holder for the right and left, and a cup holder (Scotty). I already have the fish finder mounted so wont use one for that. i did have to cut the seal strip back a bit, but no big deal as its better long than short. Now someone needs to come up with a way to keep the sliding tray, and I would be real happy. Thanks OK, for the new upgrade, and Austin Kayak for the great price!
