An ice sled can be an essential tool in transporting gear to your fishing spot. Choose models designed for easy pull on foot with runners to reduce wear and tear and prolong its service.
Portable fish finders provide you with an accurate view of the bottom depth and movement of lures or bait being cast into the water, such as Garmin’s Striker Cast or Humminbird Mega Live Ice models.
Tackle Bag
Fishing tackle bags provide the ideal way to organize and easily access all your gear whether fishing from shore, in your boat, traveling abroad or just keeping organized while out and about. There is a wide selection of tackle bags on offer; from sling-style bags that work great for short trips up to large backpack-style fishing tackle bags.
These tackle bags can hold multiple 3700-size tackle trays and feature several storage pockets, an inside zippered pocket for valuables, a water-resistant cellphone holder, and a built-in leader wheel. Some even include padded sunglasses cases to make accessing your shades easy!
Other tackle bags are customized for specific types of fishing or destinations, like offshore tackle bags that accommodate hard plastic tubes for jigs as well as tools and terminal tackle. Some even feature dedicated ice compartments to help keep bait fresher for longer. Many are made with durable wear-resistant material with saltwater-proof zippers.
Pliers
Pliers are an essential fishing tool, offering many uses from hook removal to cutting lines. Constructed of corrosion-resistant material and featuring thin jaws designed to reach into fish mouths to remove hooks or lures quickly and efficiently, pliers also come equipped with special cutters that make cutting monofilament or braided line quickly possible.
Your choice of size and weight for pliers depends on their intended use. For instance, if hiking to your fishing spot on foot requires compact tools, opting for something that easily fits into your tackle bag or pocket may be best suited.
Consider corrosion resistance of your pliers carefully when fishing in saltwater environments, to ensure they will continue functioning and remaining reliable throughout your fishing adventures. This will keep them functioning at their full potential while remaining functional and reliable throughout their time with you.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are designed to reduce glare and protect eyes from UV radiation. Some models feature polarized lenses which filter out light reflected off surfaces like water and snow as well as diffuse sky radiation, helping reduce eye fatigue and improve visual clarity. Other larger designs cover all four eyes completely with features like sweat channels, eye-wire drains, temple tips and nose pads to provide comfort to ensure proper fitting on faces and provide full visual clarity.
Since anglers spend long hours on the water, it’s essential they select sunglasses with maximum protection. Polarized lenses, UV protection, frame material and prescription compatibility should all be considered when selecting a pair; for instance stainless steel and titanium frames resist corrosion caused by saltwater and humidity better than others; additionally leash attachments and temple insides enhance gripping while simultaneously helping keep their sunglasses in place when fish strike!
Fish Cleaning Table
An essential tool for any regular fisher, a fish cleaning table provides a safe, stable work space and helps speed up cleanup after you return home from fishing.
Most fish tables are portable, making them convenient for fishing trips of any length and type. Some models feature collapsible design for compact storage while others provide adjustable height settings to provide optimal working positions that reduce back strain.
Some fish cleaning stations come equipped with sinks to make the cleaning process more efficient, such as being water tank or hose fed and employing various forms of pressurization (some are foot operated while others require batteries). Some even feature an Auto-Nozzle which dispenses water using wave of the hand technology, providing an unobtrusive touchless cleaning solution – useful if handling raw meat or other potentially dangerous materials.
