Description

STEADY STICK® for the Bonafide XTR 130 allows standing and fishing, or standing and riding confidently. We’ve designed several installation configurations for this kayak, so be sure to scroll through and checkout all images. 

This version of our product proudly leverages several trusted industry companies products (RAM®, Ketch® and DU-BRO®) to make the entire system work for the Bonafide® XTR 130.

Currently, we offer several different configurations. Checkout all our images and watch our install video below for additional details.

Configuration 1: Designed for installing on a stock Bonafide XTR 130 bow.

Configuration 2: Designed for use with the Bonafide XTR 130 Large Bow Mount for 90 Degree Motor Mounting (not included w/ purchase).

Configuration 3: Designed for use with the Bonafide XTR 130 Large Bow Mount for 90 Degree Motor Mounting (not included w/ purchase). A perfect configuration if you run an offset bow trolling motor setup.

If you’re interested in discussing a different configuration, please reach out directly to bill.rigler and I’ll be glad to speak with you about feasibility, pricing, etc.

Pricing

Unlike other much larger brands in the kayak fishing accessory industry, my product currently isn’t mass produced. For example, other larger kayak accessory companies typically make 1,000 units of a product (or more) for a production run, and that can help bring cost per unit down for the customer. However, with this particular product and initial production run, I manufactured a much smaller amount of units which in turn brings the cost per unit up.

Additionally, to make the Steady Stick system work for this kayak it requires utilizing other trusted supplier products that we are bundling with your purchase in many available configurations. For example, we leverage products from Ram® Mounts, Ketch® and DuBro Fishing where we are required to sell their products at a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP).

On top of all that is a moderate margin that helps us keep the lights on and be able to offer you a best-in-class product guarantee and warranty.
