If you're an avid angler, having a reliable, sturdy baitboard or bait station is essential for your boat or launch. But not all baitboards are created equal. If you're tired of fumbling with fish on a flimsy board, it's time to upgrade to something simple, sleek, and strong—like a custom NZ Made baitboard from Fusion Fabrication.
Thinking about replacing your Baitboard?
A baitboard is the hub of your fishing action. From prepping bait to cleaning your catch, the right baitboard makes life on the water easier and more efficient. When you're dealing with slippery fish and sharp hooks, you need a baitboard built to withstand the rigors of the sea.
Standard vs. Custom Baitboards
We offer a range of standard baitboards perfect for most boats and launches. These boards are designed with durability and functionality in mind, giving you a solid workspace that can handle everything from chopping bait to filleting your catch.
Our standard baitboards come in two size options—600mm or 860mm wide—to fit various boat setups:

To cater to different fishing styles and storage needs, our standard baitboards come with epic features:

Secure Storage: Features a secure slider drawer equipped with quick-access bungee loops for storing tools, pliers, or other small essentials.

These standard sizes are ideal for most applications, providing ample space for all your fishing needs. But if you have specific requirements or a unique boat setup, we also offer fully customizable options.
