I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

YakAttack VISICarbon Pro Kayak Flag

YakAttack VISICarbon Pro Kayak Flag

Description

YAKATTACK VISICARBON PRO 360 DEGREE LED KAYAK FISHING VISIBILITY FLAG Designed to meet the needs of serious kayak anglers as well as recreational paddlers, the VISICarbon Pro sports unprecedented performance in light weight, low drag, and portability with plenty of style. The ultra-thin mast and instantly recognizable flag combine to offer excellent performance with low wind drag. The Silent Snap flag attachment system provides a secure attachment that allows the flag to be removed in seconds, allowing the collapsed unit to be stored inside the flag for easy storage. Compatible with MightyMount (included), YakAttack GearTrac, and most kayak track systems.

Enhances your visibility day or night.

SilentSlip foam fits most flush mount and tubular rod holders.

48' long deployed, 14' collapsed (collapsed unit stores inside flag).

LEDs burn 100 hours on 3 AA batteries (included); 10, 000+ hours lamp life.

MightyMount and GearTrac ready (not included).

It provides 360 degrees of light and it is tall enough that it isn't blocked by the paddler. I wouldn't want to be on the water without it at night.

You should mount it in a location on your kayak where you can reach behind you and grab it. I like mine behind my seat a little ways. The pole is very flexible and allows you to grab it with one hand to pull it down and twist the light on. I believe the light used on the visicarbon is the same thing as a tektite mark III dive light. It is definitely submersible as it is actually a dive light...I believe it is actually rated up to 1000' depth.

You can always replace the bungee with another cord that you find more durable if the standard one does not suit your needs. I believe it is 1/8" bungee. Most issues with the cords in our experience are due to prolonged salt exposure or from getting caught on a sharp edge of a broken pole section, if you decide to stick with the original maybe invest in a desalinator spray if you use it in the salt a lot. Hope this helps some.

Yes it fits perfectly in a blackpak. Thats where I store mine.

Hi, How does this turn on and off. And can it be used underwater? Thanks, Ed

Is there an alternative to using the poorly made bungee cord that holds the flag on? I need the flag for safety in high traffic boating areas!
