Tackle bags keep your fishing gear organised and ready to go. They sit between your main tackle box and everyday carry, holding the items you need most often in pockets designed for easy access. A well-built tackle bag stands up to regular use, changing conditions and travel while keeping your essentials organised and within easy reach.
Count your trays first, then buy the bag. Most tackle bags are sold by how many standard trays they hold, usually between two and six, which is a more useful measure than litres. Leave one slot spare for the lures you'll inevitably add, and check the bag still closes flat when it's full.
Storage and Organisation
A well-organised tackle bag makes it easier to find what you need when you're on the water. Multiple compartments, external pockets and dedicated spaces for tackle trays help separate lures, hooks, sinkers and tools, so frequently used items stay organised and within easy reach throughout your fishing session.
Comfort and Carry Style
The right carry style depends on how and where you fish. Adjustable shoulder straps, padded handles and backpack-style designs improve comfort when walking to your fishing spot, while a well-balanced bag makes it easier to transport your tackle between the car, shore, riverbank or jetty.
Durability and Water Resistance
Fishing often means exposure to water, sand and changing weather conditions, so durable construction is essential. Water-resistant materials help protect your tackle from splashes and light rain, while reinforced fabrics, strong zips and sturdy stitching improve long-term performance in demanding outdoor environments.
Casual Fishers. Perfect for short fishing trips where only the essentials are needed. A compact tackle bag keeps your tackle, tools and accessories organised without adding unnecessary bulk.
Regular Anglers. Ideal for fishers who spend plenty of time on the water and carry a wider range of gear. Multiple compartments help keep tackle boxes, tools and accessories neatly organised and easy to access.
Dedicated Anglers. Designed for fishers who carry gear for different techniques, species and conditions. Larger tackle bags provide generous storage and organised compartments, helping keep everything close at hand throughout the day.
Maintaining tackle bags
Empty the compartments after each fishing trip and shake out any sand, dirt or loose debris before wiping the bag clean. If it's been exposed to saltwater, rinse the exterior with fresh water and allow the bag to dry completely before storing. Check the zips, straps and handles regularly for signs of wear, then keep the bag in a cool, dry place so it's ready for your next trip.
What's the difference between a tackle bag and a tackle box?
A tackle bag is a soft-sided storage solution that's lightweight and easy to carry, with space for tackle trays and fishing accessories. A tackle box has a rigid design with built-in compartments that offer greater protection for your gear.
How many tackle trays can a tackle bag hold?
The number of tackle trays a bag can hold depends on its size and storage design. Smaller bags suit a few essential trays, while larger models can accommodate multiple trays and other fishing gear. Some tackle bags include trays, while others are designed to fit compatible trays purchased separately.

Can I use a tackle bag for other purposes?
Most are water-resistant, not sealed. The trays inside do much of the work here, because a sealed tray keeps water off hooks and blades even if the outer fabric wets through. Check the zips too, since that's usually where water finds its way in first. Rinse the salt off after a session on the coast.
The right size depends on how much fishing gear you carry and the length of your trips. Compact tackle bags are ideal for short sessions and essential tackle, while larger models provide extra space for multiple trays, tools and accessories.
Yes. Tackle bags can also be used to organise tools, camping equipment, craft supplies and other hobby gear. Choosing a bag with the right storage layout helps keep smaller items organised wherever you use it.
Keep Your Tackle Organised
The right tackle bag keeps your lures, tools and gear sorted and easy to access, so less time is spent searching and more time is spent fishing. Compartment layout and durability both matter just as much as overall size. Explore our tackle bag range to find a setup that fits your fishing style.
