A binocular tripod adapter is a small metal bracket that screws into the 1/4-20 tripod socket on a binocular’s centre-focus barrel, so the instrument can be mounted on any standard photographic tripod head instead of being held by hand. Above roughly 10x magnification, hand tremor becomes the limit on what you can see, and a … Read more
Choosing a fish finder for a small boat is mostly a matter of physics. A 14-foot jon boat or a kayak has no room for a helm full of electronics, no clean transom to run a cable through, and usually no room in the console for a battery that would power a full marine setup. … Read more
Side imaging is the single sonar mode that changed how bass anglers fish. A traditional depth sounder tells you what is directly beneath the hull and nothing more, while a side imaging fish finder paints a live picture of everything out to port and starboard, which is the only practical way to pick apart a … Read more
Short answer: the Garmin Striker 4 is the best fish finder under 500 dollars in for most anglers, with a 3.5 inch sunlight-readable LCD, CHIRP and ClearVu scanning sonar, built-in GPS for waypoints, and a 1600 foot depth rating for a fraction of what imaging units cost.

Paddling a mile across a reservoir to reach a ledge is what convinces most anglers that they need a motor on the kayak. The best trolling motors for kayaks fall into two camps: simple tiller-driven transom motors that a first-time paddler can install in an afternoon, and wireless remote models that hold your heading when … Read more
A trolling motor does one job better than a gas outboard: it moves a small boat quietly enough that fish never notice you arriving. For jon boats, dinghies, kayaks and aluminum rigs under about 16 feet, the best electric trolling motors for small boats give you precise, low-speed control at a fraction of the noise … Read more
All day means one full fishing day on a single charge: eight hours or more of trolling motor runtime at a realistic average amp draw, with meaningful charge left when you get back to the dock. That is the benchmark we hold every battery in this roundup to, because most manufacturers never define the term … Read more
