UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL There’s no doubt about it – being able to get into the fish’s domain offers a greater chance of catching more as there will, quite simply, be more water to go at. Part two of our special supplement will give you more ideas on how to cater for this market. Last month we gave you a basic guide to some of the main types of watercraft out there, from boats to kayaks, paddle boards to float tubes. We especially focused on kayaks and SUPs (Stand-Up Paddleboards), so this issue, over the coming pages, we will look more closely at boat selection and some of the key accessories you should consider adding to your inventory to make the most of this growing sector of the sport. It’s clear that the Covid-19 pandemic produced a strong upsurge in both fishing and boating as, once restrictions began lifting, people hit the great outdoors, having been cooped up in many cases for months on end. Marrying the two sports was an obvious thing to do for a significant number of people, giving them more flexibility on how they handled their outdoor time and where it would take them. Of course, the problem for many retailers is not just knowing where to start in choosing and sourcing watercrafts but also how and where to display them. Let’s face it, these things are not small, 28 www.tackletradeworld.com especially if you want to show them off to their best advantage The bonus, though, is that you can use your craft as the perfect merchandiser for a whole range of accessories, from motors (outboard and trolling) to navigation electronics and fish finders, rod mounts, anchors, life vests and even specialist luggage. Boat purchases are a major investment so you need to think carefully about what kit you will offer alongside them. Most buyers looking at a boat will be expecting to spend big as they understand that is just the start of their on-the-water journey. In addition, we will once again focus on some of the key suppliers of these products, some of whom have extensive experience of manufacturing or supplying craft or add-ons in this lucrative sector. If you are just starting out in fishing watercraft – or even if you think you are a seasoned pro – it’s worth talking to these suppliers for some first-hand advice and guidance. Get it wrong and you will have a white elephant sat in the order of your store for years to come; get it right and it will be a valuable addition to your bottom line as it increases customer footfall and boosts sales. So, read on for the second of our special two-part Watercraft and Accessories supplement to push your business full steam ahead.
