Codus Design: Process-Built Gear for Serious Kayak Anglers

Serious kayak fishing puts real demands on space, reach, and workflow.   When you’re running electronics, multiple fishing rods, storage, and gear on a compact deck, every inch matters. Codus Design builds kayak accessories around Old Town AutoPilot + Garmin setups so your gear sits where it should, works how it should, and stays out of your way.

• Purpose-built for kayak anglers, not “universal” everything.

• Tuned around Old Town AutoPilot + Garmin layouts.

• Designed, tested, and refined on the water.

Why Codus Design

Codus Design exists for anglers who care how their kayak actually fishes. Every part is built to make your rig cleaner, faster to use, and easier to live with over long days on the water—not just to look good in photos.

• Platform-Tuned Design – Parts are built around Old Town AutoPilot + Garmin layouts, so you gain usable deck space and better reach instead of fighting generic brackets.
• Overbuilt 3D-Printed Construction – Printed in PETG-UV with thick walls and strong infill, designed to live full-time on the kayak in sun, heat, torque, and chop. 3D printing lets me iterate fast and use geometries—like in-print hinges and integrated joints—that are difficult or impossible with traditional methods.
• All-Stainless Hardware – All primary hardware is stainless steel, chosen to handle a wet, corrosive environment. It costs more than generic hardware, but it resists corrosion and is built to last as long as the kayak it’s mounted on.
• Serviceable Wear Components – High-wear parts use standard, user-replaceable hardware. Wherever possible, I provide Amazon links so you can swap knobs or fasteners over time instead of buying a whole new mount

How it started...

Codus Design started as a personal project to dial in an Old Town AutoPilot, clean up cable routing, and solve the small frustrations that cost time on the water. As more anglers asked about the setup, one-off parts turned into a small-batch line of kayak accessories for people who fish the same way—deliberate, process-driven, and hard on their gear.

If I wouldn’t run a part on my own kayak, it doesn’t go into production.
