T bar hitch suggestions? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use the Yakima Longarm and love it. It doesn't look too funky with it on without the kayak, so I tend to leave it on all the time and have even used it for pipe, lumber, and a christmas tree.

I'm sure there's cheaper options, but I like the look and the functionality. They make a lock for the included pin so no one will steal it. Its secured with a threaded bolt so it doesn't wobble around in the hitch. They also sell a padded velcro piece for the middle of the bar, so I tend to just put the front of my outback on that and push it in, that velcro stays in place and takes a beating.
