Bass fishing electronics have come a long way since the early days of flashers on the dash. Today’s anglers rely on high-resolution graphs loaded with mapping, 2D sonar, and side imaging. However, advanced technology is only useful when it can actually be seen. Proper mounts make all the difference, especially when sunlight, boat angle, or fishing position changes by the minute.

Why These Mounts Stand Out
Mike McClelland runs BeatDown Outdoors mounts for one reason — complete adjustability. Each setup features ratcheting knobs that allow quick movement in every direction. Units can slide in and out, rotate toward shaded angles, or rise high off the deck for improved visibility. This flexibility keeps graphs readable whether scanning mapping trails or studying structure.
Built for Forward-Facing Sonar
Forward-facing sonar demands precise screen positioning. McClelland raises his graphs more than 20 inches to eliminate glare and reduce strain while tracking fish, bait, or structure. All anglers can benefit from this elevated view, as it keeps screens directly in line with natural sight.
Optimized Boat Layout for Serious Anglers
Every component of McClelland’s boat setup is designed for function. From the leveling plate to the multi-directional mounts, each graph sits exactly where it needs to be. This allows full focus on the bite rather than fighting glare or awkward angles. If visibility has ever cost a fish or slowed decision-making, upgrading mounts may provide the biggest improvement in on-the-water efficiency.
