We had a tan one at our silent auction for our local buck contest yesterday, it went for $180. Pretty cool, and pricey of course.

 

Do you recall if the drop down insert part that fills the void where rod holders/locks/straps run has a slot cut in it to run straps through? The way I'm describing it, you could open the lid but not pull the back rest out if you had straps, because the straps would go through the drop down part of the back rest since the area they'd normally go though is filled by the seat to cooler mount/base.

 

I really didn't look at it that close, we have a local distributor in Shiner that has them, I'll see if I can find out. I won a couple Yeti rod holders that fit on the sides under the lid, pretty cool.

 

There is no slot in the backrest on the part that goes through the yeti where the straps normally go. You may be able to put the straps underneath. Basically you could strap the yeti down but could remove the backrest when you opened the lid. I wish I saw this post before today, we were just in there this weekend and I could have taken some pics. Btw.....they had them in black or white.

Good thinking on the Facebook. Thanks!

That looks pretty interesting, wonder how strong it is. I kinda like it for putting in the back of the truck and let the kids have a more comfortable seat so it would have to be fairly strong to live through bouncing around.

 

Pretty cool concept, but wondering how sturdy it is.

 

They make sizes for the 45, the 65 & the 105

Frames are made in Shiner TX, cushions are made in Rockport. Spoke with the owner, couldn't be a nicer guy.

 

It should work for rtic coolers as well correct?

RTIC 65 is 1.5" (1 & 5/8") wider than the Yeti 65, RTIC 45 is close though, 3/4" difference in width.

 

Rockport Tackle Town needs to do better and get in their shipments of Concept Tx reels. My son went on and cancel his order and is going to come down to Houston and get one at either FTU or Hookspit.

Waterloo store and Roy's Tackle shop have em according to reports.

Why would this be their fault? It would understandably be frustrating, but I would think that the frustration would aimed at 13. I know other shops that have had there order in as early as Aug. last year that have been told several different stories as to when they will receive their order. I contacted 13 by email 3 weeks ago to ask when my local store might be receiving their order and never received a reply other than the computer generated email that acknowledged receipt of my email.

 

I was just about to post a new thread on them, but i'll add it here to. Shout out to Tackle Town for amazing customer service on reel repair! I'd dropped off a Penn Battle that locked up. They looked at it, said it was beyond repair, and they said they'd ship it back to Penn for me and Tackle Town would give me a new Penn reel, just come in and we'll have it for you. They didn't ask where I'd bought it (Academy), they just hooked it up. They don't know me from Adam.

Thanks for updating the thread.

 

They make them for RTIC and other coolers as well, not just YETI
