ICE Fishing Rod Tackle Bag Ice Tails Ice Bag 36.5 in - Water Resistant

In this review the ICE Fishing Rod Tackle Bag Ice Tails Ice Bag 36.5 in is evaluated for anglers who need a durable, organized travel case for winter fishing. The bottom line: it is best for ice anglers who carry multiple rod and reel combos and lots of tungsten jigs because the bag combines a waterproof 2 in rubberized floor with roomy divided storage and heavy duty zippers. The review focuses on real use in the field, storage layout, and build details observed while packing gear for full days on the ice.

Key Features

• Waterproof floor: The 2 in rubberized waterproof bottom keeps your gear dry when the bag sits on slushy ice or snow so reels and tackle stay protected.
• Rod and reel capacity: Designed to hold six to eight ice rod and reel combos, the main compartment is divided lengthwise with Velcro closures to keep rods organized and prevent tangles.
• Tackle organization: Multiple pockets, netted compartments with Velcro, and interior space make it easy to store tungsten jig boxes, tipups, gloves and other accessories without everything mixing together.
• Exterior water bottle holder: The unique exterior bottle holder has an elastic band with clasp and a mesh Velcro pouch that doubles as a phone or small jig pack pocket for quick access.
• Durable hardware: Oversized heavy duty double zippers on all compartments provide reliable closure and withstand repeated opening in cold conditions.
• Travel convenience: Soft sided construction with carrying straps makes the bag easy to move between vehicle, ice hut, and shore while keeping a lot of gear consolidated.

Who It's For

The Ice Tails bag is aimed at serious ice anglers and small charter guides who need to transport multiple rod/reel combos, tungsten jig boxes and tipups in one compact case. Its waterproof bottom and organized compartments make it especially useful for anglers who spend long days on the lake and want protected storage that keeps tackle separated and easy to reach.

Anglers who fish only occasionally with one rod or who prefer hard cases for extreme protection may want a smaller bag or a rigid box instead. If you need a hard, lockable case for airline travel this soft sided bag may not be the right choice.
