Having a boat is a lot of fun so be sure to trick it out with all great bass boat accessories you can afford. Here are some ideas.
Sure, you can work off a compass and a chart, but how cool are split screen chart plotters that double as navigation units and depth finders? At a recent boat show, I saw a new model that shows bottom terrain in 3-D. My neighbor said it sounded silly, but that bass fishing boat accessories show slots that will hold fish; and I don't need to go scuba diving to see 'em.
Among the newest bass fishing boat accessories are waterproof lights that mount to your trailer frame. Launching before dawn is much easier but the real benefit is hauling when it's dark. Your trailer lights up like an airport runway at night! They're cool for experts as well as for folks learning how to boat. And if you're fishing a lot during pre-dawn or post sunset hours then look at a light bar for your console. These bass boat accessories are perfect for easier rigging in the morning and faster clean up after you haul.
These days it seems as if everyone needs more juice, and a battery charging system makes life easy. One of the best bass fishing boat accessories, these units send a charge to turn over a dead battery just as easily as they'll recharge smart phones and Go Pros. Safety first, fish pictures and video second.
You've probably got all the usual bass boat accessories ranging from marine radios, bowlines, fenders and both safety and first aid kids. Do yourself a favor and swap out the standard bass tracker boat accessories for aftermarket gear. Custom seats, boat covers, jackplates, and trolling motors protect your investment while improving performance.
Bass boat accessories should be practical, solutions-oriented gear. And when it comes to boat accessories fpr bass fishing they should be fun and help you catch more fish. Get some today, check where to go fish and boat and find the best boat supplies shop near you. The season is right around the corner.
