Why this product
Why the Yakima JayHook?
The JayHook is Yakima's simplest J-cradle — one kayak, 80 lb capacity, padded arms, 4.5 lbs. No folding, no load assist, no dual-boat tricks. What you get is Yakima build quality at their entry-level price. If you own one kayak and want a lightweight J-hook that just works, this covers the basics well.
