LeeLock Anchor Systems LeeLock Anchor Systems has dozens of angling-friendly products designed for drift boats, power boats, and even inflatables. It’s no secret that LeeLock products are designed by boating anglers, for boating anglers, all to make the day on the river, lake, or sea more efficient and enjoyable. With the growing trend of boaters adding bow-mounted trolling motors with “Spot Lock” technologies to their fishing arsenal, LeeLock was ahead of the craze with their industry-first Quick Change Base accessory line. The Quick Change Base system is designed to allow accessories to be easily interchangeable. The universal Quick Change Base allows for the use of the LeeLock Columbia River Anchor Nest, the LeeLock Can Anchor System, and the industry-leading Quick Change LeeLock Trolling Motor Mount. Depending on your fishing applications and needs, you can incorporate any one or all of the applications. The Quick Change Base also accepts the LeeLock Bow Ladder, which makes getting in and out of the boat a breeze. LeeLock Anchor Systems products are 100% American made in-house at their location in Ferndale, Washington. Made from marine-grade aluminum and anodized to protect from corrosion, even in saltwater environments, LeeLock products are designed for lasting longevity and good looks while performing their duties. Using my boat as an example, I already have the LeeLock Quick Change Base installed and I frequently change my anchor nests depending on whether I’m fishing a small tributary where the Can Anchor excels, or on my local Columbia or Willamette rivers where the Columbia River Anchor is essential. During shad season, I sometimes even utilize a Mantus M-1 Anchor that stows nicely in the LeeLock Columbia River Anchor Nest. This configuration offers great holding power in the sandy bottom with the torrential spring runoff. Adding a Minn Kota, Lowrance, Garmin, or Rhodan GPS-guided trolling motor to my bow is made easy with the LeeLock Quick Change Base system. All I need to do is decide which side I want the motor stowed; port or starboard, and select the appropriate Trolling Motor Mount. Plug and play, that’s what makes the LeeLock system so great! One of the benefits of a bow-mounted trolling motor is the Spot Lock feature; another is when used in tandem with your boat’s kicker motor, making for exceptional trolling capabilities. The LeeLock Magnum Skeg is designed to be mounted to most bow-mounted trolling motors. The oversized skeg gives better control, especially in windy conditions, sloppy seas, and when the current is ripping. An added benefit when using the Magnum Skeg is you can expect much greater battery life because the skeg is doing much of the work, making the motor more efficient. And every salty boat around should have a LeeLock Crab Cracker, that not only measures your catch, but makes the cracking detail effortless. To see all LeeLock Products, go to leelock.com.
