Fishing Gear Built for Practical Days on the Water
Oceansouth fishing gear is designed for boat owners who need reliable, easy-to-use accessories for bait preparation, rod storage and deck organisation. This collection brings together practical essentials such as Fishing Bait & Fillet Table, Fishing Bait & Fillet Table – Large, Deluxe Fishing Bait & Fillet Table, Rod Holder - Rectangle 30deg, Rod Holder - Rectangle 90deg, Rod Racks Stainless Steel and the Lock-Fast Holder.
Whether you fish from a trailer boat, centre console, runabout, small cabin boat or dockside setup, the right deck equipment makes a noticeable difference. A secure bait board gives you a dedicated surface for cutting bait and preparing fish. Rod holders keep gear positioned and accessible. Rod racks help protect rods when they are not in use. Together, these products help keep the cockpit cleaner, safer and more organised during a full day on the water.
Bait and Fillet Tables for Cleaner Preparation
The bait and fillet table range includes compact, large and deluxe options to suit different boats and fishing styles. The standard Fishing Bait & Fillet Table is a good choice where space is limited but a dedicated cutting surface is still needed. Its 18.4” x 15” table size, UV-stabilised polypropylene construction, drainage design, knife slots and storage sections make it a practical upgrade for smaller boats.
For anglers who need more working space, the Fishing Bait & Fillet Table – Large offers a 28” x 16.8” table surface and three separate top compartments for tackle, bait and lures. The adjustable mounting width helps suit a wider range of boat configurations, while the bottom channel compartment is useful for longer filleting knives and runoff management.
The Deluxe Fishing Bait & Fillet Table is the premium option in the range. It features a 33.5” x 18” table size, a hinged lid, drainage system, 1” drain tube compatibility, and two built-in 30-degree fishing rod holders. It is suited to boat owners who want a larger preparation station with extra functionality built into the design.
Mounting Options to Suit Different Boats
One of the advantages of Oceansouth bait tables is the choice of mounting systems. Depending on the model, options include rod holder mount, rail mount and Lock Fast Holder Mount. This gives boat owners more flexibility when working around existing rod holders, 1” rails, gunwale layouts and cockpit space.
- Rod holder mount: useful when you want the table positioned through an existing rod holder location.
- Rail mount: suited to boats with compatible 1” railings.
- Lock Fast Holder Mount: designed for removable fitting and a secure mounting point when matched with the appropriate setup.
The Lock-Fast Holder is available separately and is suitable for Ø1.25” tube. It is designed to mount bait and fillet tables with a Lock Fast fitting, making it a useful accessory for customers setting up or modifying their fishing station.
Rod Holders for Narrow Gunwales
The rod holder range includes slimline flush-mount options in both 30-degree and 90-degree shaft styles. The Rod Holder - Rectangle 30deg is made from UV-stabilised polypropylene, includes a moulded rod gimbal in the shaft base, and has a narrow head designed for narrow gunwales. It is available in black or white.
The Rod Holder - Rectangle 90deg offers a similar slimline design with a 90-degree shaft. This style is useful where a more upright rod position is preferred. Both options have a flush-mount design with a bevelled edge and are suited to boat owners who want a neat, low-profile rod holder installation.
Stainless Steel Rod Racks for Storage
The Rod Racks Stainless Steel are designed for organised rod storage on boats, patios or garages. They are made from mirror finish 316 stainless steel and include full-length polypropylene liners to help protect rod handles. The range includes 3-rod and 4-rod options, with two mount points and a solid, no-moving-parts construction.
Rod racks are particularly useful when rods need to be stored safely between sessions or kept out of the way while travelling, cleaning or preparing gear. They can also be teamed together for multiple rod storage, making them suitable for anglers carrying several setups for different fishing conditions.
Buying Considerations
Before choosing fishing gear for your boat, consider how much deck space you have, where the accessory will be mounted, and how you fish. A compact bait table may be better for small cockpits, while the large or deluxe tables are better suited to anglers who regularly prepare bait, clean fish or need extra working room. For rod holders, check whether a 30-degree or 90-degree angle best suits your layout and fishing style. For rod racks, decide whether a 3-rod or 4-rod version gives you enough storage.
- Check available mounting locations before choosing a bait table.
- Confirm rail diameter or rod holder position where relevant.
- Choose black or white rod holders to suit the boat’s finish.
- Allow for access around bait boards, rod holders and walkways.
- Remember that mounting hardware may not be included on some products.
Care and Maintenance
Fishing gear works in a harsh environment, so simple maintenance helps keep everything performing well. Rinse bait boards, rod holders and rod racks with fresh water after use, especially after saltwater fishing. Remove bait residue, scales and waste from drainage areas before it dries. Use mild soap where required and avoid harsh cleaners that may damage plastic or stainless surfaces. Check mounting points regularly and retighten hardware if needed.
For stainless steel rod racks, routine cleaning helps maintain the finish. For bait and fillet tables, keeping the drainage channel clear will make cleanup easier and reduce pooling. If your setup uses removable mounts, take the table off when not required to free up space and reduce unnecessary exposure.
Why Choose Oceansouth Fishing Accessories?
Oceansouth products are developed with real boating layouts in mind. The range is not limited to one generic accessory; it includes different bait table sizes, several mounting systems, rod holder angles, colour options and stainless steel rod storage. This makes it easier to build a setup around the way your boat is actually used.
The materials and designs are chosen for marine use, including UV-stabilised polypropylene, anodised aluminium, marine-grade nylon and 316 stainless steel where specified. Details such as knife slots, drainage channels, moulded gimbals, polypropylene liners and removable mounting options show the practical focus of the range. The result is fishing gear that supports a cleaner deck, better organisation and a more efficient day on the water.
Complete Your Fishing Setup
For additional control while fishing, the Sea Anchor Drogue is another useful Oceansouth accessory. It is made from tough PVC rip-stop fabric with reinforced webbing and is designed to slow the boat’s rate of drift, making it a relevant add-on for anglers fishing in wind, tide or current.
From compact bait boards to deluxe fillet tables, slimline rod holders and stainless steel rod racks, Oceansouth fishing gear helps turn a standard boat layout into a more practical fishing platform. Browse the collection to compare sizes, mounting styles and storage options, then choose the setup that best suits your boat, your fishing style and the way you like to work on deck.
