Now that winter is finally starting to settle in, it’s time to start looking at ways that you can get your Sea-Doo fishing-ready. Whether you’ve got a Spark, a GTR or even the famed FISH PRO itself, there’s no reason why you should skip out on the fun and adventure that all Sea-Doos have to offer. With our never-ending collection of Sea-Doo merchandise and official
accessories, we’ve got something for everyone. If you’re thinking of ways to get your Sea-Doo sport fishing ready, then keep reading! We’re going to outline all of the cool tricks and standard features the Fish Pro’s has to offer and how you can make your Sea-Doo fishing ready.
The FISH PRO
Built for fishing, the
FISH PRO is our most sought-after sport fishing range of Sea-Doos. However, it’s also commonly enjoyed for the versatility it offers for family adventures and comfort. As a standard build, all Fish Pro’s come with a cooler, fish finder, rod holder and trolling modes, all of which can be taken off and safely stored away in the garage to make for a fun ‘Doo out on the open waters.
It’s full of versatility and adventure making it a highly desirable watercraft that can be used for both sports fishing and leisure activities. The Fish Pro comes with many accessories and add-ons that are adaptable to suit your comforts and wants. These are part of the many reason why the Fish Pro is so beloved, but more than that, it is also highly sought after for the following features that make sports fishing all that more convenient and exciting:
1. The LinQ Cooler Box and Rod holders
2. The fishing bench seat
3. A front storage organiser
4. Garmin 6" GPS and Fish Finder
“But I don’t have a Fish Pro…”
And that’s why all of our models can be customised and accessorised to include all the features and comforts you enjoy, and more importantly, everything that you need to ensure that your Sea-Doo is FISH PRO ready. Everything can be purchased and added to your current Sea-Doo. Trick out your Sea-Doo at your own pace, based on your own preferences. Our wide selection of add-ons and accessories helps you to tailor your ‘Doo the way you ‘Sea’ fit!
LinQ system
Sea-Doo has updated the accessory system which we used on our previous models, this time to include the LinQ™ system which is retractable, and built into the swim platform. With this, all Sea-Doo accessories can attach to the swim platform, as long as said accessories have LinQ™ built into it. For older Sea-Doo attachments, there are tools that can convert into LinQ™ .
Ergolock system
Sea-Doo also goes beyond industry standards when it comes to the human dimension in its design. Sea-Doo’s saddles narrow in an hourglass shape, giving the rider a more comfortable ride, as their body parts are anchored in an ergonomic way. This is paired with footholds which are at an angle so that the rider can ride more aggressively, and safely. This happens because the rider’s feet and knees are in more natural riding positions which gives them the most balance.
Maximising your upgrades, to be fishing ready
All of our PWC offerings from our
2022 catalogue come with the aforementioned LinQ™ system, meaning that you will be able to attach all of your needs when you use the product. Tow Sport users can use the LinQ retractable Ski Pylon, and if you have a Rec-Lite class PWC, you can attach that same device, as it fits if you want to do some Tow Sport too. You do not need the FISHPRO™ to be Fish Pro Ready, you can find any combinations of attachments depending on your needs.
For PWC class Recreation and upwards, there are more specific attachments, whether electronic or purely storage, there are other attachments which all vehicles have access to. Various Garmin devices, as well as BRP Audio systems are built into Performance and Pro Fishing classes. All PWCs (excluding the Spark 2 and up) come with an iteration of IBR- Intelligent Brake and Reverse technology, and all PWCs from the GTI SE 170 up have VTS™ -Variable Trim System technology. These combine in order to make the vehicle more stable when stationary and not being used, as well as when the vehicle is in use by the rider.

Why tell you all this?
Making any Sea-Doo PWC into a fishing-ready vehicle is more possible and especially more convenient since the implementation of LinQ™. Whether you have a small Spark, or a big RS 300, there is always something that you can do to improve it in some way or accessorise it for a certain specific riding need. Riding is fun, but at the end of the day, PWCs are vehicles, and it, therefore, needs to be able to do some things that are expected of a vehicle. Sea-Doo meets those expectations.
