  • Best Kayak Fishing Accessories: Mounts, Crates & Track Systems

    Kayak fishing lives or dies on how well your gear is organised and mounted — a good track system and crate setup turns a bare kayak into a genuine fishing platform. Here’s our pick of the accessories that make the biggest difference.

    Start With a Track System

    The YakAttack GearTrac GT175 Track System (£40.99) or RAM Mounts Low Profile Track Mount System (£103.99) give you a mounting rail you can slide accessories along and reposition without drilling new holes every time you change your setup — the foundation most kayak anglers build everything else on top of.

    Mount Your Fish Finder and Camera

    The RAM Mounts Garmin Striker Ball Mount Kayak Kit (£40.99) is purpose-built for Garmin STRIKER units, while the YakAttack LockNLoad Mounting System with RAM Ball (£51.99) gives a quick-release RAM ball mount for swapping between a fish finder, camera or rod holder in seconds. The YakAttack VisiCarbon Pro Visibility & Camera Mount (£103.99) doubles as both a visibility pole and camera mount.

    Stay Visible and Stay Organised

    The YakAttack VISIPole II Safety Light (£91.99) is a simple but genuinely important addition — a visible safety light for low-light conditions and busier waterways. For tackle storage, the YakAttack BlackPak Pro 12×16 Kayak Fishing Crate (£229.99) is a rigid crate purpose-built to sit behind the seat, with mounting points for rod holders and more track accessories.

    Don’t Overlook Comfort

    The Wilderness Systems AirPro Max Kayak Seat (£229.99) is easy to skip when building a rig, but a full day on the water makes the difference obvious — proper back support genuinely extends how long you can comfortably fish.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to drill my kayak to fit a track system?
    Most track systems are designed to mount using existing hardware points or with minimal, straightforward drilling — check compatibility with your specific kayak model first.

    What should I mount first on a bare kayak?
    A track system and a fish finder mount are the highest-value starting points — everything else (crate, lights, seat) builds from there.

    Is a safety light legally required?
    Requirements vary by waterway and time of day — check local navigation rules, but a visibility light is good practice regardless for low-light conditions.

  • Best Kayak Fish Finder UK: Top Picks for Kayak Anglers

    Kayak fishing puts different demands on a fish finder than a boat does — space, weight and power draw are all tighter, and a lot of kayak anglers don’t want to run wiring at all. Here’s our pick of the best options for kayak anglers in the UK.

    Best Overall for Kayaks: Deeper PRO+ 2 Smart Sonar Castable WiFi Fish Finder

    The Deeper PRO+ 2 Smart Sonar Castable WiFi Fish Finder (£229.99) needs no wiring, no mounting bracket and no battery beyond its own — cast it out on your line, and it streams sonar straight to your phone over WiFi. For kayak anglers who don’t want to drill a hull or run cables, it’s the simplest option available.

    Best Wired Options: Garmin STRIKER Plus 4 Fish Finder with GPS and Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 Fish Finder

    If you’d rather have a fixed screen mounted to your kayak, the Garmin STRIKER Plus 4 Fish Finder with GPS (£172.99) is compact, low-power and includes GPS for marking spots — ideal for a small 12V battery setup. The Humminbird HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 Fish Finder (£287.99) steps up to a larger display with CHIRP sonar for sharper target separation, still small enough for most kayak consoles.

    Best Compact Colour Display: Garmin Striker Vivid 4cv Fish Finder

    The Garmin Striker Vivid 4cv Fish Finder (£172.99) packs a bright colour display into a small footprint — easier to read in direct sunlight on the water than many budget units, without the bulk of a larger unit.

    What to Look for in a Kayak Fish Finder

    • Power draw: kayak batteries are small — check the unit’s current draw against your battery’s capacity.
    • Mounting: look for track-mount or RAM-compatible units if you want to switch between kayaks or remove the unit for storage.
    • No-wiring options: castable sonar like the Deeper PRO+ avoids drilling or running cable through the hull entirely.
    • Screen size vs weight: bigger screens are easier to read but add weight and draw more power — balance against your kayak’s setup.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to drill my kayak to fit a fish finder?
    Only for a fixed transducer. Castable units like the Deeper PRO+ need no drilling at all, and many kayak anglers use suction or clamp transducer mounts to avoid it too.

    What battery do I need for a kayak fish finder?
    A small sealed lead-acid or lithium battery in the 5–12Ah range is typically enough for a compact fish finder for a full day on the water.

    Is GPS worth having on a kayak fish finder?
    Yes — marking productive spots and finding your way back in poor visibility is genuinely useful, even on small inland waters.
