As well there are many other accessories you can add on to the boat depending on what your fishing needs are.
Here is a list of some of the more popular ones.
The
Anchor System is great if you are in a lake or a river and it is heavy duty enough for serious river anchoring.
The
Motor Mount is great if you are going to use electric motors.
If you purchase a package which includes the
Mesh Bag or have it added to your boat, you must specify if you are left hand or right hand retrieve so they put the mesh bag on the appropriate side of the boat. This keeps it out of your way while you are retrieving your fly. It is one of their most popular accessories. It also works good as a spey rod holder, you put the butt section of the rod and the reel in the mesh bag.
The
Stripping Apron is ideal for lake fishing, pretty much a must for the lake angler.
The
Oar Upgrade is also highly recommended. The oar is much stronger and the blade is shallower and longer, which is a more efficient design for rivers and it allows you to paddle in shallower water.
They have a new
Seat Cushion Pad for $29.95 which makes the seat a little more comfortable. This option is not on the website yet.
The Boat Handle attaches to the D-rings and is a must for lifting the boat with ease.
The C
argo Net is ideal for packing all your gear.
The
Boat Bottom basically seals the boat up and is good if you want to put a dog or a child in the front and you can stand up on it.
