In Hawaii, it’s always a perfect time to head to the ocean to dive, fish, or spearfish. When you don’t have the right truck accessories to accommodate your fishing, it can put a major damper on your experience. However, there are several items that can prepare your truck for when you want to spend a day on the water.

3 Truck Accessories to Buy Before Fishing

1. Seat Covers & Floor Mats

Coming straight from the ocean to your truck can trail sand and saltwater into your vehicle, which will accumulate and ruin the upholstery. You’ll have to diligently clean up damp spots throughout the cabin or experience damage to your floor and seats. To avoid these issues, use seat covers and floor mats to absorb the salwater and keep your interior in pristine condition.

2. Bed Liners

Although truck beds can seem sturdy, the sharp points of spear guns and fishing equipment can scratch the surface during your drive to the shore. However, a liner adds a rough layer of durable material that’ll create a barrier to will absorb scuffs from your equipment.

3. Toolboxes

If you bring a lot of hooks and bait with you when you fish, this truck accessory is useful for keeping everything organized in one area. Most toolboxes come with built-in locks, so they’re a discrete place to hide and secure your valuables while you’re at the beach.
