Designed for the YakAttack BlackPak Pro and ShortStak, the BlackPak Rod Hinge is a durable and attractive solution that lets you mount rod holders on the rear of your crate while keeping the lid free to open.
Constructed from ASA carbon fiber and a CNC-machined 5 mm 100% carbon fiber plate, the hinge system swings the rod plate out of the way as you open the lid. A clevis pin + R-cotter pin design enables quick, tool-free removal when needed.
If mounting to a 13" side of a blackpak be sure to select the 13" variant!

✅ 1 x HDPE Hex Grid Panel (16" × 12.5") for mounting rod tubes/holders
✅ 32 x Black Stainless Steel Screws for the ShortStak/BlackPak and hex grid panel
✅ 6 x Clevis Pins & R-Cotter Pins for secure, tool-free hinge removal

This is GREAT!!
I’m very happy how it turned out, the look and how easy it was to install it on my BLACKPAK PRO 16x16 crate, this is a must have if you want to carry more rods on your crate; I add 3 rod holders along the MightyMount for my safety flag!
This is by far the best high speed, low drag accessory that I have ever installed on any boat or kayak. The "Rod Hinge" fits and works perfectly on my 16"x13" blackpack pro. Great product and they always ship fast.
Outstanding product! Well-made and easy to install!
Review
I absolutely love this Rod Hinge from Big Bass Chris Designs! It is an excellent addition to my YakAttack BlackPak and works exactly the way I hoped it would. The design is simple, functional, and very well thought out. It makes accessing my gear much easier while keeping everything organized and clean.
You can tell some real thought went into designing this specifically for anglers. The quality is excellent, it works great, and I couldn't be happier with it. Highly recommend Big Bass Chris Designs and this Rod Hinge!
Perfect accessory to meet my fishing needs.

Excellent product from Big Bass Chris Design. Absolutely a must have with the Yak Attack Black Pack to be able to add more rods storage to my kayak.

Hey Derrill,
Sorry to hear you had issues with the installation. A link to the installation instructions can be found on the product page, and all of our installation guides are also linked at the top of our store.
Thanks,
Chris
I'm still waiting on my Black Pack Short Stack so I haven't put it together yet.
The ease of assembly
Great design. However, it needs installation manual. I had to search pictures to see how it mounts. Other than that the product allows me to open my box easily keeping my poles away from the lid.
