In order to transport the sometimes quite expensive and extensive accessories safely, an angler needs the right bag. Because not infrequently, his destination is far away from the streets and the parked car.

The different types of fishing bags
A fishing bag is not necessarily suitable only for the transport of fishing rods. Many models also have compartments in which the associated accessories such as reels, poses or the bait box can be individually packed. So they can not mess up during transport. There is always order and the angler finds everything right away.
The trade offers a variety of fishing bags. These differ not only in the quality, the design and the price, but especially in the size, the material and the closures and straps. Before buying one should therefore look at the different models and compare to the appropriate fishing bag to find for his needs.

The right length
Fishing bags are available in different lengths so that both the transport of folded and already mounted rods is possible. The advantage here is obvious. For already mounted fishing routes there is no need for assembly on site. You can start fishing right away. The disadvantage, however, depending on the type of fishing route, the length and thus the space requirement of the bag, for example in the car.

The right material
The bags usually store and transport high-quality equipment. The material of fishing bag should therefore be very robust and resistant. In addition, it is beneficial if it can prevent the ingress of water. Nylon is water repellent, but not very durable. Neoprene or polyester are better in this regard, but the material itself is quite heavy. With the fishing rods and all the accessories, such a bag can therefore already have quite a weight. Therefore, most anglers resort to bags that consist of a mix of different materials. This allows the advantages of the individual substances to be combined.

The suitable closures
To close most fishing bags conventional or two-way zippers are used. Thus, the angler does not have to open the entire zipper with every grip in the bag, which is pleasant especially in the rain. In general, the smaller outer pockets are always closed with a zipper, since these are largely water-repellent. Normally simple velcro closures are sufficient for the internal compartments.

The ideal carrying strap
When buying a fishing bag Care should be taken to ensure a high quality finish of the straps or handles, as these are the actual weak points of the fishing bag are. If the handles and straps are not carefully installed during manufacture, they may rupture after prolonged use. If one is then traveling in a rough terrain, this can be very annoying. If you often have to run longer distances with your fishing bag, you should buy a model with a shoulder strap when buying. So you can easily carry the bag over your shoulder and has your hands free.

Conclusion
A fishing bag is a great way to safely transport the angler’s equipment. By dividing into several compartments there is always order in the bag and the angler will find everything he needs right away. So the most expensive equipment stays for a long time ready and the hobby more fun.
