Know before you buy
Yes. It features a YKK AquaGuard zipper, welded external attachments to prevent leaks, and an interior splash rim that acts as a secondary barrier even when the bag is open.
The interior is highly customizable. It comes with four divider panels that you can rearrange to fit your specific reels, fly boxes, or camera gear.
The bag is specifically shaped to fit into tight boat spaces without interfering with your rowing motion. Its dimensions are optimized to sit securely in a boat without obstructing your oar strokes.
The Tippet Whippet is a patented, easy-access system built into the bag that allows you to quickly grab and manage your tippet spools without digging through the main compartment.
It is built from 840-denier ballistic nylon with a TPU coating, making it extremely resistant to punctures and abrasions. The bottom is reinforced with rigid Hypalon and features sticky rubber feet to keep it stable on wet surfaces.
The high-visibility chartreuse color is a functional design choice. It provides high contrast against your gear, making it much easier to locate small items like flies, tools, or leaders in low-light conditions.
