the Super Cooler Rack from Pontoon Solutions attached to an exterior pontoon rail

Cooler Caddy

Almost as important as the engine, your cooler full of snacks and cold drinks is definitely a must-have on boating day. But it’s also a pain when the cooler takes up too much of your floor space. The Super Cooler Rack from Pontoon Solutions is the perfect fix. The adjustable rack will easily attach to your pontoon rails and hold the cooler outside of the pontoon; this also keeps the cooler at rail height and your favorite drinks easily accessible. Accommodating coolers up to 18 inches wide, the Super Cooler Rack cradles your cooler safely on all sides and is powder-coated for durability. (www.pontoonboatsolutions.com)

A Pocketful Of Tackle

DAIWA’s new PRESSO Lure Wallet packs a day’s worth of tackle in a keenly designed lure tote. Have tackle ready at a moment’s notice without limiting mobility or adding bulk with the inconspicuous wallet. Store and mobilize smaller tackle, like the lures and flies used to catch trout and panfish, as well as the wealth of micro lures used for bait finesse (BF) techniques, like miniature crankbaits and jigs. Rugged and convenient, the Lure Wallet is made with durable, snag-resistant material, features foam panels on both sides for notching hooks, and includes a clear plastic separator to protect the finishes on lures and keep them in tip-top shape.

the Basking Bag from SeaSucker in deep blue and black

Tidy Up

Instead of using a plastic grocery bag for trash or heaping dirty laundry and wet towels in a corner of your boat, try the Basking Bag from SeaSucker. The convenient bag can be mounted temporarily with a SeaSucker vacuum mount wherever it’s needed, including on the hull for a sandbar party. The Basking Bag supports up to 120 pounds of bottles, cans, or soaked beach towels— even with jostling from waves and wakes. The large fabric bag has a unique closure system that seals in its contents but opens with a simple tug of the large pull ring. The standard model is constructed with a sturdy marine-grade mesh fabric, stainless steel hardware and UV-stabilized polymers. (www.seasucker.com)
