Belly Boats & Accessories

Belly Boats & Accessories

A belly boat, also known as a float tube, lets you fish close to the water and reach spots that are difficult to cover from the bank. Using fins to move leaves your hands free for fishing. Whether you are casting for perch, working soft lures for zander or targeting pike along reed beds, a float tube allows you to approach your fishing spots from different angles.

Choosing the right belly boat

Consider the seating position, load capacity, storage space and ease of transport when choosing a belly boat. If you carry plenty of tackle, spacious bags and accessory mounting options are useful features. A raised seat provides a clearer view of the water and more room to work your rod.

Always include your own weight and all your equipment when checking the maximum load capacity. Remember to account for an electric motor and battery if you plan to add them.

Motor-ready belly boats

Want to add an electric motor to your float tube? Choose a model prepared for the motor system you intend to use. Connections and mounting brackets vary between models. Motor preparation does not automatically mean that a motor, battery or mounting bracket is included. Check the specifications and supplied equipment for your chosen model.

Accessories for float tube fishing

Well-fitting fins help you move and steer while fishing. Check their fit with your own waders or wading boots. Compatible rod holders, fish finder mounts and storage bags allow you to organise your setup to suit your fishing.

Leave enough space around your accessories for casting, unhooking and landing fish. Wear a suitable life jacket on the water and plan your trip around the conditions.
