Fishing luggage: bags and buckets

Separate dry, wet and fragile

The angler carries a lot of small gear, sometimes damp and smelly baits, and often has to walk to their spot. A good luggage separates what needs to stay dry, like rigs and clothes, from what is wet or dirty, like groundbait and baits. Generally, one combines a main bag for the gear, a bucket for the groundbait, an insulated container for live baits and boxes with compartments for hooks, weights and lines. Each technique has its needs: carp anglers carry a lot, while lure fishers travel light.

Backpack, shoulder bag or EVA: which bag for fishing

The Trakker NXC Essentials backpacks in camouflage, and the Korum Progress with compartments, carry gear while keeping hands free for the rod and landing net. The shoulder bag Shimano Yasei Street Bag, compact, goes along with shore fishing for predators, with lure boxes within easy reach. The bag Spro TBX in EVA, a rigid and waterproof foam, stands upright, is resistant to water and mud, and can be wiped clean with a sponge: ideal for wet gear. The insulated Fox Camolite bag keeps meals cool for two anglers during long carp sessions.

Buckets, bait coolers and storage boxes

The buckets Matrix, with lids, and Preston, holding ten-eight litres, are used to soak and transport groundbait; the Fox strap attaches to the spod bucket for easy carrying with one hand. The Korum Progress Hardcase cooler, with a rigid shell, keeps maggots and worms cool in hot weather. For small gear, the boxes Matrix with sixteen compartments, deep or shallow, store weights, hooks, and swivels; the Fox Edges box holds rigs without bending them, the Fox Rage Stack and Store organizes lures, and the Fox Bait Tubs keep baits fresh. Buckets and EVA bags are rinsed after each outing.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose an EVA fishing bag?

EVA is a rigid and waterproof foam, resistant to water, mud and baits. The bag stands upright, protects fragile gear and can be washed with a hose or sponge, making it ideal for fishing from a boat or slippery banks.

Which bag for lure fishing on the go?

A compact shoulder bag, like the Shimano Yasei, carries two or three lure boxes and accessories without hindering casting. It can be turned sideways to change baits in seconds, without putting the bag on the ground.

How to keep live baits cool?

A bait cooler, like the Korum Progress Hardcase, keeps maggots and worms safe from the heat. Place it in the shade, open it as little as possible and slide in a block of ice wrapped up during hot weather.

What size bucket for preparing groundbait?

A fifteen to twenty-litre bucket, like those from Matrix or Preston, allows enough space to soak and mix groundbait without spilling. A lid keeps it moist throughout the day, and a strap makes carrying easier.

What luggage for float or feeder fishing?

These techniques require a lot of small gear: compartment boxes like those from Matrix for weights and hooks, two buckets for groundbait and baits, and a compartment bag to transport everything to the spot.
