Specs:
The Malone BigFoot Pro holds your canoe hull side up on your roof rack crossbars. These gunwale brackets are lined with foam pads to protect your canoe from scratches and scuffs while loading and during transport. And because the brackets are only 4-1/2" tall, you won't have to lift your canoe much higher than your roof when loading it from the side of your vehicle. This low-profile design also makes it less likely that you'll need to remove the carrier when you park in your garage.
The carrier includes 2 cam-buckle straps to secure your kayak to the rack. A set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included to secure the kayak to the front and back of your vehicle. If your vehicle doesn't have any tie-down points, you can get an anchor kit (sold separately) which will let you create anchor points in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.
The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the carrier on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs.

I bought these brackets for my Ascend H-12 kayak. The kayak transports face-down on Thule roof racks. These high-quality brackets are easy to install/remove and inhibit any side to side slippage while providing a secure tie-down. I highly recommend these brackets for anyone transporting canoes or kayaks on their rooftops.
Bob M - 05/15/2021Just excellent. Holds tight. Easy to position and set up.
Nice kit for canoe tie down. Would have preferred ratchet straps to hold the canoe. I changed them out for ones I already had.
These are great! Kept our canoe snugly in place driving from New Hampshire to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. Loved this so much we got my in laws a set for Christmas!
First off, when I'm looking for something for my car, truck or camper, etrailer is my 1st online stop. Their pricing is highly competitive and their service is tops. Finding and ordering the Malone big foot was no exception. Ordering was a breeze and communication about my order was very prompt. The product itself is perfect. It installed on my Yakima corebars in minutes, fits perfectly and seems to be of the highest quality. I purchased this product for hauling ladders, lumber and any number of long loads that need to be stable.
This is the perfect rack system for safety caring my new canoe!
Easy to use and very effective.
It took some measuring and perfecting the layout but my canoe fits perfect on top of my Jeep. The info and description on etrailer was great. Shipped fast and I’m ready to go camping.
Perfect for a canoe - even a wide one with very curved gunnels. I put them on a 58in Malone square bar, but they would fit just about any cross bar I've seen.
well worth the money. canoe is very sturdy. more so than with any foam and straps I've used.
My experience working with your company was first class, as was the product. Your saleslady was very knowledgeable in answering my questions. My order was exactly what I needed, thanks to Mariah. A pleasure compared to the usual off shore representative that is reading from a book, speaks poor English, and knows little about the product you are calling about.
getting a vehicle properly equipped to carry canoes is a daunting task.
Worked nicely, easy to install.
They got it here in record time AAA
Great quality and fast delivery. Exactly as described
Fast delivery and perfect transaction.
