Fishing Rod holders not only allow you to carry multiple fishing poles at once but also keep your hands free when paddling around the river or lake. Shown below is a screw on holder for the front of your kayak, two flush mount holders for the back of your kayak and if you don’t want to drill any holes there are also clamp on holders for your canoe or kayak.
2. Anchor Systems for Kayaks
There is nothing worse than being on the perfect fishing spot only to constantly be blown off of it by the wind. A foldable anchor is not only portable and easy to store, but will keep you in one spot letting you get as many casts in as needed.
3. Paddle Holder for Kayaks & Paddle Leash
A paddle holder for your kayak gives you plenty of room to make casts and is much more convenient than resting your paddle across your body. A paddle leash will keep your paddle close in the event that your paddle goes overboard.

When space is limited, decisions regarding what tackle to bring will need to be made. Luckily there’s many waterproof options on the market for storing your tackle and tools as compactly as possible.
