There’s no better time than now to upgrade your boating accessories. With the new season approaching, it’s the perfect opportunity to enhance your boat’s functionality, comfort, and overall experience.

The right accessories can completely revamp your boat, offering a fresh experience without the need to purchase a new one. If your boating needs have evolved, even small upgrades can make a significant impact.

These four boating accessories are a game-changer for the upcoming season.

Fish Finders

Have your fishing habits changed since you first purchased your Legend Boat? Maybe you thought it would be a casual hobby, but now it’s something you take more seriously. Whether you’re new to fish finders or upgrading with an extra unit at the bow, having one up front is a game-changer for anyone looking to up their fishing game.

Having a fish finder at the bow offers several advantages, primarily allowing anglers to see fish and structures before the boat reaches them, enabling more precise casting and strategic fishing. Knowing where fish are and what kind of structure is present helps anglers make more informed decisions about where to fish, saving time and effort. Plus, you can upgrade to one with a larger screen and enhanced capabilities, such as Navionics mapping, to improve your navigation and fishing success.

Downriggers

Downriggers offer precise depth control for trolling, allowing you to cover more water efficiently, and improve your chances of catching fish in various conditions. This is crucial for targeting specific species. Whether you’re trolling for trout, salmon, or walleye, downriggers, without a doubt, are the top tool for getting any bait right into the bite.

Different fish species are found at varying depths throughout the year. Downriggers help you adjust quickly to target species like lake trout in deep summer waters or salmon running at specific depths in the spring and fall.

Our expert staff will help you decide on the best placement of your downriggers for optimal use and success on the water. Need help deciding which downrigger is right for you?

At Legend Boats, we offer Cannon downriggers, including our most popular models—the Magnum 10 STX and the Magnum 5 ST.

Electric Trolling Motors

Electric trolling motors offer silent, precise, and efficient boat maneuvering, allowing anglers to approach fish stealthily, maintain a stable position in currents and wind, and even use GPS-integrated features for the famous spot lock anchoring.

 

Why an Electric Trolling Motor is a Game-Changer

Unlike gas motors, electric trolling motors are whisper-quiet, reducing the chances of spooking fish. They also offer spot-locking capabilities, keeping your boat in position without needing to anchor.

Best Ways to Use a Trolling Motor

Use your trolling motor for:

• Slow trolling to cover large areas efficiently.
• Holding position in windy conditions.
• Maneuvering quietly in shallow waters where fish are easily startled.
