    Must have items

    What are some small additions that in your eyes are must haves for your bass boat?

    I know it looks trivial, but I love this thing. Place for my water bottle and line conditioner. I put a piece of foam water pipe insulation to keep the little bottle secure. Instead of the clipper shown, I put a small sissors attached to a lanyard. (no need for flying scissors at 65mph) Instead of the pliers, I attach a fishing towel with a cable tie. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/hand...ductextensions.
    Opposite that I attach a Rod Saver plier holder. Would be lost without these two things. http://www.rodsaver.com/04_fishing/SO_US.html

    tow rope, TP, first aid kit with alieve and benadryl, jumper cables, extra set of warm clothes, assortment of tools, spare drain plug, pair of some sort cutters that can cut the biggest hook you have in your boat. I carry a very small pair of actual bolt cutters. Depending on your water a flare gun. hope to never need it, but if you ever really need some serious help fast it's the quickest way to get other boats attention.

    boga grips. I've almost lipped a walleye before thinking it was a bass, and I've caught accidently pike and catfish before too. The boga grips make unhooking them without getting slime all over your carpet way easier.

    Imodium.

    If you mean features on the boat then my vote is a hot foot, blinker trim, hydraulic steering, and recessed trolling motor pedal.

    I like the TM prop nut from Bob's. Cheap and easy to remove tm prop. Trolling motor strap. Keel guard. I am thinking the Power pole anchor light will be on my next boat.

    Ultrex.... its to the point now that if I didn't have one why go fishing at all. It's like the digital age once you have it you will never go back to pen and paper.

    This is great! Any good ideas on how to store your push pole outside of your boats storage boxes without drilling holes?
