Garmin inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator

$249 | Save 38%

The Garmin inReach Mini 2 offers two-way messaging, SOS capability and weather reports in a palm-sized package. Ideal for offshore anglers or those fishing in remote locations out of cell service, what the Kayak Angler team loves most about the Mini 2 is its compact size, reliable connectivity and excellent battery life. New models of the Garmin inReach Mini can send photos and voice memos, which is cool but not essential for many. Currently on sale for $249, the Mini 2 offers top-of-the-line functionality at close to half the price of newer models.

Pelagic Navigator Fishing Sunglasses

$128.24 | Save 44%

When fishing offshore, you need the best protection from the blazing sun and your sunglasses must perform in full light and under salty and sandy conditions. The Pelagic Navigator is currently 44 percent off and consistently ranks among Kayak Angler’s best fishing sunglasses thanks to polarized mineral glass with great clarity, scratch resistance and a cool modern round frame. The Navigator’s side shields completely block glare from entering behind the lenses. Need less coverage and more ventilation? Just remove the shields.

KastKing ReKon Saltwater Fishing Rod and Reel Combo

123.99 | Save 20%

One of our favorite spinning rod and reel combos, the KastKing ReKon is currently 20 percent off and a top pick in the Kayak Angler office for its lightweight design. Carbon fiber drag, carbon fiber rod, five shielded ball bearings and stainless-steel line-guides are all combined in this design. Made to withstand the rigors of saltwater fishing, the ReKon promised weight savings but without compromising strength. Our testers found this ultralight combo punched above its weight class with a sensitive and responsive rod and a smooth, durable reel.

Wilderness Systems Kayak Krate

$104.99 | Save 30%

The Wilderness Systems Kayak Krate is light and tough, and consistently ranked among the best kayak crates in our side-by-side testing. Currently on sale for 30 percent off, the Kayak Krate is good value—it’s waterproof and almost indestructible. The main compartment stores tackle trays and tons of gear, while the storage compartment in the lid with a clear plastic cover holds the items anglers use most. If the crate’s main compartment is used for a live well or battery box, the lid storage area provides room for tackle and gear. Four rod holders on the sides of the crate are well positioned so they don’t interfere when opening the lid and accessing the crate.

KastKing Hammer Braid

$19.49 | Save 25%

KastKing Hammer Braid is designed for heavy-duty fishing and rated among our best braided fishing lines. As a four-strand braid, it’s built for abrasion resistance and minimal stretch. KastKing markets it as having a higher true break strength than equivalent lines, and after testing, our testers are inclined to agree. This line is durable and capable of ripping through heavy cover with ease, making it an ideal line for working large lures around heavy cover and especially in abrasive structure, like oyster bars and bridge pilings.
