If you’re the proud owner of a bass fishing boat looking to up your game, the right gear and accessories can go a long way towards enhancing your experience. Nothing will guarantee a big catch, of course, but accessories can certainly make the experience a bit more enjoyable. This guide from Polaris® of Gainesville can tell you all about it.

Rod Holders

Nothing ruins a good fishing trip like your hand cramping up due to holding your rod for extended periods of time. A rod holder allows you to take a quick break without taking your line out of the water. You can also set up a series of rod holders, allowing you to cast multiple lines at once and increase your chances of getting a catch. 

Anchor

Anchors have been in use for thousands of years, and for good reason. They are a simple, cheap, and effective way to prevent your boat from drifting away from your chosen fishing spot. They’re also useful if you experience engine trouble. Authorities will have a much easier time finding you if you’re not moving. You can purchase an anchor system, or make your own at home. 

Livewell

A livewell is a small water tank that allows you to store your catches alive until you get to shore. Besides keeping your fish fresh, it’s also a great way to store live bait. If your bass fishing boat doesn’t come with a livewell, you can purchase one and install it yourself. 

Depth Finders

Bass usually prefer to live at certain depths. Unless you’re lucky and the water is totally clear, guessing the depth without help is extremely difficult. Depth finders can provide you with a quick and accurate reading of the current depth of the water around you. It can also be used to better avoid water that is too shallow for your vessel. 

Seating

Uncomfortable seating can make it all but impossible to focus on fishing. Lucily, there are all kinds of chairs, benches, and cushions available for your bass fishing boat to help keep things comfortable.
