Small fishing luggage

Mobile fishing: what a small bag should offer

The small luggage serves the travelling angler: the one who walks along the banks with lures, changes spots while float fishing, or carp fishes for the day. A lightweight bag should keep hands free for the rod and landing net, be comfortable to carry for a long time without digging into the shoulders, and keep its contents dry once placed on wet grass. A waterproof or rigid base prevents moisture from the ground from coming up, and well-designed compartments allow you to find a tackle box or a pair of pliers without emptying everything out on the bank. Neutral or camouflaged colours blend into the vegetation, making the angler less visible.

Korum Progress rucksack and rigid cooler bag

The Korum Progress range works as a modular system: its insulated bags and rigid pouches fit into the rucksacks and holdalls of the same range. The Progress rucksack, in the brand's characteristic green, holds boxes, rain gear, and small items for a day by the water. The insulated bag Hardcase Cooler, made of moulded EVA and lined with insulation, keeps four litres of maggots, worms, or food cool; its rigid shell prevents baits from being crushed and its small handle allows it to be carried alone to the spot. It can be left in the shade, closed, between baiting sessions.

The small Trakker NXC bag for valuables

By the water, phones, car keys, and fishing licenses too often end up wet or lost. The Trakker NXC Essentials is meant for them: padded lining, inner pocket, and large zipped front pocket, an adjustable and removable shoulder strap with a sliding neoprene pad. Its Duraflex clips can lock the zippers in busy areas. It features the camouflage DPM from the British brand, on a polyester fabric. To help organise small luggage well, assign a bag for each use: gear in the rucksack, baits in the cooler, documents in the pouch carried on you.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The key moments of the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

What volume of rucksack for day fishing?

Twenty-five to thirty-five litres is enough for a few boxes, a rain jacket, food, and small items. Beyond that, the bag becomes heavy on long walks along the banks, and you end up carrying unnecessary gear.

How to keep live baits fresh in summer?

Place them in an insulated bag with a block of ice wrapped in a cloth, never in direct contact, and keep the bag in the shade. Maggots last better in an aerated box, with some sawdust, without stagnant moisture.

What is a fishing carryall for?

The carryall, a large holdall with a wide opening, carries bulky gear to the spot: bait bucket, boxes, stove, or clothing. It can be carried by hand or over the shoulder and complements the rucksack for longer sessions.

How to protect your phone by the water?

Store it in a zipped pocket, or in a waterproof pouch at the bottom of a small bag you carry. Avoid open jacket pockets, where it easily slips out when bending down to net a fish.

How to maintain a fishing bag?

Empty it after each outing, remove any leftover baits, and rinse any soiled parts with clear water. Leave it to dry open before storing, to avoid mildew and odours, and rub a little wax on sticky zippers.
