Fishing and Marine Accessories

It's the trip you've had penciled in on your calendar for a month--a weekend of fishing at the lake. It's Friday night and you're checking over your gear  and supplies  one last time, because you know you're going to forget something (last time it was the GPS, and of course you were lost for hours).  Just make sure you've got these essentials and you'll be ready for anything. 

For You

Fishing Gear

Fly Fishing Rods 

There are many different types of rods to choose from, depending on where you will be and what kind of fish you want to bring home for dinner. 

Fishing Bag 

Keep all your flies, lures, and bait neatly organized and handy with a messenger style bag. 

Fishing Boots 

There's nothing worse than standing around in wet socks, so make sure your boots are high enough to prevent water leaking in. 

Fishing Nets 

Scoop up those hard-won fish with a durable net with nylon mesh. 

Fishing Hooks 

These are what will lure the fish to you, so make sure they're bright and colorful. 

For the Boat

As idyllic as it seems to just pack up a canoe and paddle out into the middle of the lake, chances are you'll be fishing in more modern motor boat. Make sure you've got the proper accessories for your motor and you'll be fishing in no time. 

Motors and Accessories

Saltwater Trolling Motors 

Trolling motors let you sneak up quietly on unsuspecting fish and allow you to cover more ground than a traditional push pole.

Trolling Motor Accessories

Propellors 

An essential component of outboard and trolling motors, the propeller fans power your boat by converting their rotational movement into forward thrust. 

Motor Covers 

You wouldn't leave your barbecue  out in the middle of winter, unprotected against the elements, right? Treat your motor the same way and it'll provide years of service.

Batteries  and Chargers 

For use with electric trolling motors and just about any navigational equipment you need. 

 

Bilge Pumps  and Aerators 

Bilge, or water pumps, are an essential item to have handy in case of sudden rains, leaks or damage to the hull. Aerators pump fresh oxygen to your bait for better fishing. 

 Lights 

Whether mounted on a pole on deck or strung up in the cabin, lights are essential for nighttime fishing and can also serve as a beacon in case of emergency.

Oars  and Paddles 

Sure, you have an outboard motor, but what if it fails? Keeping a few oars or paddles handy can mean the difference between being stranded and being found.
