17 Practical, Unique, and Cool Fishing Kayak Accessories from the Top Brands

Posted by Forrest on May 23rd 2024

  Fishing kayak accessories take your kayak and make it a fishing kayak. The gear makes the vessel, after all. You wouldn’t go fishing without spare terminal tackle and a pair of pliers in your box; don’t hit the water without these essentials, represented by the top brands, from Hobie to YakAttack accessories.

YakAttack Accessories

YakAttack accessories offer a whole lot of value and are some of the best fishing kayak accessories we sell here. These are among the most practical.

  • YakAttack GT Cleat XL: A simple but highly valuable YakAttack accessory, these cleats can be attached to a standard gear track in a matter of seconds, giving you a non-slip tie-down point, perfect for mooring, docking, anchoring and more.
  • Blackpack Pro Crate: Lighter than ever and fully riggable, with built-in rod holders, a hinged lid, rubber feet, and tons of room (it can fit eight Plano 3600 boxes) the Blackpack Pro Crate will change the way you think about fishing kayak storage.
  • ParkNPole: Perfect as a stakeout or push pole, which is great for shallow water where your pedal drive might falter, these ParkNPoles are the ideal YakAttack kayak accessories for weedy and rocky conditions where you won’t get a lot of draft. They’re also made from UV-stable materials, are super-strong, and have a floating base.
  • Leverage Landing Net: You do not want to hit the water without a landing net, and these are better than most. That’s because these Leverage landing nets feature a unique design that can be braced against your landing forearm, giving you extra leverage (hence the name) when bringing in big fish, one-handed, and on your own.

  • Cellblock Battery Box: Compatible with YakAttack GearTracs and other popular track mounts, these Cellblock Battery Boxes are built to protect your batteries against even the harshest of marine conditions, and also have integral mounts for a depth finder.
  • LeverLoc Anchor Trolley: These LeverLoc Anchor Trolleys enable you to lock your trolley line with a simple flip of a switch motion. They’re even made in the United States and come with all necessary hardware.
  • Panfish Portrait Pro Camera Mount: Are you the type that likes to film your exploits? If so, don’t miss these Panfish Portrait Pro Camera Mounts; they’re made for you!
  • TowNStow Bunkster Kayak Cart: These rank high in terms of value from YakAttack accessories; they’re made from UV-resistant polymers and anodized aluminum and are backed for life by the Built for Life Guarantee anglers have come to expect from YakAttack kayak accessories. But the real value of TowNStow Bunkster Carts is this: no more lugging your kayak over the gravel!

Hobie Accessories

No list of fishing kayak accessories would be complete without a nod to Hobie, which makes some of the finest vessels and accessories in the industry. These are some of the more practical Hobie fishing accessories.

  • Hobie Caution Flag: A Hobie Caution Flag will keep you safer when your concentration is on the fish and not whatever traffic might be around you. This, or a flag like it, is a must on water where there is a lot of motorized traffic.
  • RAM Rod 2000 Rod Holders: Most fishing kayaks have built-in rod holders, but if you want to add more, these RAM Rod 2000 Rod Holders mount easely, swivel 360°, and offer tilt-functionality, making them perfect not only for rod storage but for trolling.
  • Horizontal Rod Holder Kits: If your kayak doesn’t have horizontal rod storage with built-in tip protection, these are the best fishing kayak accessories out there. Suffer no more broken rod tips with one of these Horizontal Rod Holder Kits!
  • Plug-in Carts: Maybe not as flashy as the highlight we pulled from the YakAttack accessories, these Hobie Plug-in Carts fit right into your Hobie’s scuppers, making it nearly impossible to tip or roll them when carting.

YakGear Accessories

YakGear accessories also offer a lot of value to yak anglers. Here are our top two, though we sell many more.

  • Drain Plugs: What if we told you that for 3 dollars and change you could forever do away with the annoyance of lost scupper plugs? And, you could stay dry in the cockpit? These scupper plugs will fit nearly any scupper in a matter of seconds. Get a few and stash them in your dry wells so you’re ready ahead of time whenever one of your scupper plugs goes AWOL.

                       Leverage landing nets

  • Grapnel Anchors (3.3lbs): For the price and performance, these are among the best kayak fishing anchors out there. Grapnel anchors just work best; with articulated flukes, they perform equally well over weeds, mud, sand, and rocks.

Ketch Accessories

Rounding out this list of fishing kayak accessories are some of the Ketch accessories we sell here, among the most useful of which are as follows.

  • Ketch X: This extruded, anodized aluminum measuring board has clear markings, a Ketch cradle incorporated into it, and is KBF, HBO, and B.A.S.S. approved.

            Leverage landing nets

  • Ketch Tether: Perfect for a Ketch bump board, but also great for anything else you don’t want to lose overboard. Make sure your vessel has one of these Ketch tethers
