Show me how you drive, it'll show you who you are.

Boat Accessories for the Salt Water Boat-show season was a huge success this year for both the boating industry and its consumers looking for some new boat accessories, like me. It goes without saying that the prior-year pandemic regulations created hardship for places of gathering, whether it was church, classrooms, theaters, restaurants, and yes, trade shows. With these imposed restrictions, outdoor enthusiasts took it in the teeth when it came to Sportsman and Boat Shows. But 2022 showed signs of improvement, breathing air into the oxygen-starved industry. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, what last year was a virtual echo chamber this year was an elbow-to-elbow, bustling free-for-all. Eager outdoor enthusiasts were hungry, and these trade shows helped many turn their dreams to realities, while others better prepared for yet another season of reveries. If you’re the person that makes that annual journey to your favorite sporting or boat show, you will quickly put together the list of who’s who, who’s new, and the tried-and-true. Often, you’re singularly driven with one product or outfitter in mind, like that brand-new, offshore fish chaser, while others might be attending with the hopes to up their game, adding the newest and best fish-catching tools and accessories to their arsenal. Regardless of the goal, one thing is for certain: You’ll be rubbing elbows with like-minded folks. With boat-show season in the rearview mirror, we are now entering prime time to put those finishing touches on our piscatorial pursuits, and many of these projects are embarked upon to make our boat just a little fishier. This column is going to check out the what’s new and the tried-and-true when it comes to outfitting and organizing your boat, especially for the salty dawgs out there. Fish Fighter Products believes, like Thomas Edison did, “There is a better way for everything…Find It.” And with that simple quest, they hold the conviction to be inventors, manufacturers, distributors, and a company that won’t let you down. Located in Mountain Home, Idaho, Fish Fighter Products specializes in marine-grade products that will last a lifetime. And everything is battle tested and 100% American made. There’s a reason the folks at Fish Fighter Products are branded with The Inventive-Group. From anchor nests to anchors, from bait trays to lead trays, and from rod holders to rock racks, Fish Fighter Products has you covered. Whether you’re a new boat owner or a seasoned veteran, there are literally hundreds of products that have been invented for your needs. The Fish Fighter Sliding Rail System (SRS) is a perfect example of a fisherman-friendly system that will help you organize your fishing layout for a better day on the water. The SRS starts with a full two-inch stainless rail that is designed to be mounted either on the boat’s inner gunnel, atop the gunnel, or on the boat’s rail. The SRS Flat Surface Mount Rails are available in 24-, 36-, and 72-inch lengths for flexible configuration. The Rail System Sliding Blocks provide enough space for the SRS accessories to slide on the rail. The Rail System Sliding Block is manufactured from King Starboard Marine Plastic and is pre-drilled and tapped for a variety of rod holders including Folbe, Cannon, Cabela’s, Scotty, Fish-On!, and Attwood. It also features a locking plunger that allows the user to lock the Rail System Sliding Block in place.
