Here are some of the top picks:
PFD
In collaboration with Astral, a premium life jacket brand, Wilderness Systems has created a super-light PFD specifically for expert anglers. The Wildly Fisher, $159.99 USD, strikes the perfect balance between protection and comfortable breathability thanks to the unique ThinVent™ back design for use with high-back fishing kayaks.
Other features include a reflective trim for visibility, front storage pockets to organize tackle and keep it right at one’s fingertips, a stowable hood, tool organizer and beverage pocket.
Transportation
The new Heavy-Duty Kayak Cart, $174.99 USD, will easily transport your kayak wherever your fishing adventures take you. Built with marine-grade, high strength, heat-treated aluminum alloy, the cart boasts superior strength and is capable of carrying kayaks up to 300 lbs. The large 12″, airless wheels feature rubber tread for superior traction and the ability to roll easily over rough terrain and sand—and with the promise of never going flat.
Secure the kayak to the cart with two 10″ straps for added security. The cart’s low center of gravity improves stability while the bunk style cradle system’s adjustable width provides a custom and secure fit.
Gear Storage
The new Kayak Krate, $149.99 USD, sophisticates the tankwell storage experience with a superior functional interface and sleek look never before seen in a fishing gear storage crate. An open main compartment accommodates larger gear and tackle boxes and features removable dividers for detailed organization. Smaller items can be stowed in the secondary lid storage. Functional and durable inside and out, the Kayak Krate is blow-molded, water resistant, is easily lashed within a tankwell, and comes standard with three rod holders.
The Thrive Baitwell, $299.99 USD, is designed to integrate with most sit-on-top kayaks and features a unique flexible hose system to draw water from any scupper in the rear tankwell, while a pump simplifies the input/output cycle. Modern and functional, the Thrive Baitwell boasts a compact lithium battery that is chargeable by USB. Stylish and strong rubber latches secure the spring-loaded lid, and comfortable carry handles allow for easy transportation. Three rod holders come standard for a seamless transition from baiting to fishing.
Gear Attachments
The Rapid Attach system features patent-pending technology that allow users to easily swap accessories from one base to another. The one-handed accessories range from a 12″ Flex Arm to a camera mount and phone grip. All accessories can be inserted through the top of the SlideTrax for easy set up and removal.
