Setting a new precedent, the portable, plug & play power system for kayak anglers proves a big hit with the voting masses at ICAST 2024 in Orlando, Florida

PRIOR LAKE, MN (July 30, 2024) – Rigging a fishing kayak with today’s sophisticated fishing electronics, lighting, and various accessories can take days, what with having to source and run wire and fuses, match leads for graphs and FF sonar, position batteries, etc.

Wish there was a better way?

Connect-Ease® has been providing the quickest, easiest, and cleanest power boat rigging possible for years. Now—with the recent introduction of YAK-EASE®—the company has extended their expertise into the realms of kayak angling with numerous new, problem-solving rigging and power distribution products.

Put an end to confusing and time-intensive power, electronics, & accessories rigging with the turnkey, plug & play YAK-EASE™ Power Pak Pro

Like the YAK-EASE™ Power Pak Pro, a self-contained, portable, plug & play power system that provides the quickest, easiest, and cleanest power kayak rigging possible—while saving hours and hours of sketchy rigging in the process.

Whether you’re setting up a basic fishing kayak to a deluxe, tournament-ready fishing kayak—YAK-EASE Power Pak Pro is the best solution available today.

Regarding the company’s “Best of Category” win in Non-Motorized Boating Accessories at ICAST 2024 as part of the New Products Showcase, Connect-Ease founder, Cal Munkvold, offers:

“While we have vast background in providing plug & play bass and walleye boat, RV, and other clean power backbone rigging systems, we noticed a void in the kayak fishing market for something similar. So, our staff took to the drawing board to provide the ultimate in fast, reliable, and clean power rigging for the multiple graphs, forward-facing sonar, trolling motors, lighting, and accessories today’s sophisticated kayak anglers are using. The result quickly became the YAK-EASE Power Pak Pro.”

Munkvold continues: “But we couldn’t have done this without the input from serious kayak anglers who’ve contacted us looking for solutions, as well as kayak experts within other fishing industry brands who’ve worked with us on providing products for testing—companies like Old Town Canoe & Kayak, YOLOtek, Sniper Marine, Norsk Lithium, Dakota Lithium, Humminbird, Garmin, and Minn Kota.”

Aidan Hren, Connect-Ease, Service & Operations Manager, concludes: “This felt like a great hookset, now we have to land the fish.”
