Tackle Storage Tips

One of the most important aspects of a boat is proper tackle storage. Most boats, large and small come equipped with some sort of a tackle locker or custom tackle centers. Typically we still have to add some form of tackle storage solution to fill our varied needs and to make our tackle more accessible. Whether your a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior proper storage of your tackle can make your life much easier.


Boat Outfitters has introduced a new tackle storage solution for the smaller boat with a trolling motor, the Trolling Motor Caddy. The caddy is a drink holder, tool holder and tackle storage accessory mounted to the shaft of your trolling motor. The tackle storage caddy comes complete with a drink holder, rod holder, cut-out for your pliers, leader spool holder and if you add the separately sold tackle bag you can store tackle, sunglasses, or other small items you need on a daily basis. This accessories along with your built in tackle locker, or other custom tackle centers on your boat will make your boat more organized.

The unit is made from King Starboard marine plastic with stainless steel hardware and fittings. The unit once attached to the shaft of your motor will not twist or turn in choppy water. You can select from 2 colors, white or black. The trolling motor caddy is sure to be another hot item from Boat Outfitters.
