Top Fishing Accessories For The Polaris RZR

Off-road riding is a fun activity in and of itself. But there are several other ways in which Polaris RZR owners can enjoy using their machines that aren't as loud, fast-paced, or adrenaline inducing. Some people use their Razors for hunting, while others use their UTVs for camping and sightseeing. One of the most peaceful pastimes one can partake in with a sport-style side-by-side like the Polaris RZR is fishing. Not only can you use your bike to transport yourself, your gear, and your fishing boat to the river or lake, but you can also use your buggy to tow huts / shelters for ice fishing in the winter! Whether you’re angling for Walleye up north on Lake Superior or fishing for Brook trout with your fly rod on a local tributary of the Missouri River, here are the top fishing accessories for the Polaris RZR!

Polaris RZR Fishing Rod Holders

If you’re running around the lake bank fishing or headed to your secret spot along an undisclosed creek, you don’t want to damage your rod or reel in transit. The bed is a decent spot for fishing poles, but a better solution is an on-roof rod holder! Alternatively, you can also construct a makeshift Polaris RZR fishing pole holder with a 4” PVC tube strapped to your roof.

Fishing-Related Polaris RZR Storage Accessories

Products like the Packing Cube Bag by Rugged Radios are great for tackle, and if you’ve got a spare rod or two you want to bring, the Polaris RZR Whip Bag by SandCraft works great as a fishing pole bag! For phones and other items that you don’t want getting wet, the Roll-Top Dry Bag by EMP is completely waterproof. And for your other gear, tools, and supplies, the 50L Puncture-Resistant Duffel Bag by Rough Country is also impervious to water!

Polaris RZR Ice Fishing Accessories

Before you can ice fish, you must first be able to access the water below. And to do this, either gas augers or ice auger attachments for cordless drills are generally used. But what are the best brackets for mounting ice augers on the Polaris RZR? You can build something custom out of Unistrut metal framing, some pipes, and a few threshold rods, or you can pick up some Polaris RZR clamps / grips to secure your auger

As far as pull-behind ice huts are concerned, there are several methods for moving shanties from one place to another. A standard hitch receiver with a tow ball attachment works nicely, and bumpers with tow loops can also do the trick. Basic windbreakers and portable pop-up ice fishing shelters will usually fit in a roof rack, which leaves your bed wide open for everything else you’ll need!

Polaris RZR Boat Racks

Getting to the pond with a kayak or pontoon can be a hassle… but it doesn’t have to be! At the very least, you can secure a boat to the roof of your Razor with some ratcheting tie-down straps. But for an even better fishing setup, you can find on-roof boat racks for the Polaris RZR that are as sturdy as they come!

Other Polaris RZR Fishing Accessories

Your machine’s exhaust and headlights might spook fish as you approach the water. So to counteract this, fishermen and fisherwomen often install exhaust silencers and Seizmik “Night Vision” side mirrors with green LEDs built in. With accessories such as these, you’ll be able to attract fish rather than scare them away!

Some fishing areas can be reached from dry land. But many top-secret fishing locations are a bit more difficult to access. So if you’ve gotta cross a couple creeks, traverse a few shallow ponds, or navigate through marshy bogs and wetlands to reach your destination, you’ll want to make sure that your intakes don’t get flooded by installing a Polaris RZR snorkel kit. With a snorkel kit installed, you’ll not only be giving your engine and CVT protection against water, but also mud, dust, and fine-powder snow!

Final Thoughts

A bad day fishing is definitely better than a good day at work. Mix in some off-roading, and it’s almost impossible to have a bad day while out fishing in your RZR. What can ruin a fishing trip, however, is a flooded vehicle, a broken pole, or an entire day without a single nibble. The former can be prevented with intake snorkels, and damage to your rod can be prevented with a proper Polaris RZR fishing pole bracket. And while we can’t force the fish to bite, we can help you attract them (or at least not repel them) with some green-colored aftermarket lighting products!
