Know before you buy
Yes. Because the interior dividers are adjustable and fully removable, you can clear out the main compartment to fit larger gear like boots, waders, or extra layers.
The bag is constructed from durable waxed canvas and features YKK AquaGuard zippers, which provide excellent protection against rain and splashes. While it is highly water-resistant, it is not fully submersible, so you should avoid dropping it directly into deep water.
Yes, the wide-mouth, anvil-style design is engineered to stay open on its own. This makes it significantly easier to organize your reels, fly boxes, and tools without having to hold the bag open with one hand.
Absolutely. The bag comes equipped with adjustable external gear straps specifically designed to secure rod tubes, keeping your hands free while you move between spots.
The Nylon Cyclepond liner is Fishpond’s proprietary fabric made from recycled fishing nets. It is designed to be highly durable and easy to clean, ensuring the interior holds up against the wear and tear of hooks, tools, and wet gear.
It is designed with a shoulder strap for convenient transport. While it is a structured, rugged bag, the strap is adjustable to help you find a comfortable carry position even when the bag is packed to its 2,136 cubic inch capacity.
