Abu Garcia's predator range covers all the bases - and that includes the bags. This black backpack with adjustable, padded shoulder straps is a solid companion for a long day on the bank.

A Backpack Built to Handle the Rain

Fishing is an outdoor pursuit, and sooner or later you're going to get rained on. Wet tackle isn't just an inconvenience - moisture leads to corrosion on hooks, pliers, scissors and anything else made of metal, and once rust takes hold it's not easy to shift. Abu Garcia has built two features into this backpack specifically to protect both the bag and its contents from water ingress. Alongside the waterproof, reinforced base, the heavy-duty zips are fitted with a protective cover that keeps out both moisture and dirt, while still leaving the double zip pullers clearly visible and easy to grab for quick access. The real difference-maker, though, is the second feature: the bag is made from polyester, which offers a degree of water resistance, but won't hold up in heavy downpours. That's why a rain cover is stored in the base of the backpack, ready to be pulled out whenever the weather turns. It keeps your gear genuinely dry, so a rainy day doesn't have to mean a cancelled session.

Plenty of Storage - and 3 Tackle Boxes Included

The Abu Garcia Backpack measures 33 x 21 x 51 cm and has the capacity to match. There are two main compartments: the upper, larger compartment offers generous space for bulkier items such as a camera, food and a change of clothes, while the lower compartment is designed for tackle boxes - three of which are included, each measuring 28 x 18 x 4.5 cm. That means you get not only plenty of storage but also the right boxes straight away for small accessories and lures such as soft lures and plugs. Both compartments are accessed via a double-sided zip along the top edge. The front of the pack is kept clean and flat, while each side features a side pocket and 2 straps with buckles. The side pockets with bungee-cord openings at the top are ideal for accessories like unhooking pliers and a tape measure, and double up as bottle holders. The straps let you secure a spare rod or landing net to the side of the pack - handy when you want both hands free for lure fishing without leaving a backup rod behind.
