A bait board is a flat surface used by anglers to prepare bait and rig tackle while fishing. Bait boards are typically made of materials that are durable and easy to clean, such as plastic, fiberglass, or stainless steel. They usually feature a lip around the edge to prevent bait and other materials from falling off, and may have built-in compartments or storage areas for tackle and tools.
Bait boards are a popular accessory for fishing boats and can be mounted on a variety of surfaces, including gunwales, rails, and pedestals. They provide a convenient and organized workspace for anglers, allowing them to efficiently prepare bait and tackle while keeping the deck of the boat clean and clear.
Some bait boards may also come equipped with features such as rod holders, cup holders, and knife storage, making them even more versatile and practical for anglers.
