Advanced Angler Storm Proof Tackle Bags

Keep your lures and gear protected from the roughest weather and conditions while out on the water. Our Storm Proof™ Tackle Bags are made to be even tougher than the elements you'll be facing when the weather takes a serious turn for the worse. The heavy-duty tarpaulin construction repels water to keep your fishing equipment nice and dry. The hard plastic bottom withstands soaking to prevent any water from seeping in the bottom. All bags have a front exterior pocket and a rear exterior mesh pocket for any items that you want to have close at hand.
