Does anyone have a "go to" business for buying kayak accessories online? I have tried a few of the "name brand" companies and it just seems everything is really getting more expensive in our sport. I have 2 kayaks I am looking to install tracks on to and install rod holders, anchor cleats and anchor trolley, etc. Just curious if their are any better than others or if they are really all the same.

Austin Canoe & Kayak often has accessories on sale. I also get stuff from YakAttack. YakGear is another choice.

Usually mariner sails or anglers pro tackle. I like to shoot the breeze with all of them.

All I use is Railblaza products, they have sponsored so much for the kayaking community. I do agree that prices have gone up on everything. I’ve ordered online and went to ACK

I also prefer to go to Mariner Sails because I like to support local business and ability to ask questions. I also like to look around and see what's new. However, if I'm busy or needing something generic, I'll order from Amazon or ACK.

I like to visit Mariner Sails too. I buy what I came in for and look around at all the new stuff that I didn’t know existed.

A lot of kayak accessories are some of the most over priced items I've ever seen. Some of it we don't have much choice like the gear tracks. On things like anchor trolley you can buy the pulley's, cord, well nuts and anything else you'd need on Amazon for a lot less. I DYI when I can but there are times when some of those end up costing more in the long run. Use Amazon for a lot of stuff. I buy from ACK when I have to.
You get out of it what you put into it!
