HTO Bakkan – Black (45 x 29 x 29cm)

The Ultimate Lure Station: Industrial EVA Construction with an Integrated Workspace.

For the serious lure angler, gear management is about more than just storage; it’s about speed and accessibility. The HTO Bakkan is a large-capacity, semi-rigid tackle hub designed for both boat and shore-based missions. Made from heavy-duty, waterproof EVA with a distinctive diamond-pattern finish, this bag is built to survive the saltwater environment while keeping your expensive lure boxes, reels, and tools bone-dry and organized.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend this for the angler who needs a “Base Station.” Whether it’s sitting on the deck of a boat or on a rocky ledge, the Bakkan provides a stable, waterproof home for your gear. The standout feature is the moulded lid, which doubles as a working table, complete with drainage channels so you can rig up in the rain or spray without your terminal tackle washing away.

Why the HTO Bakkan is a Lure Angler’s Must-Have:

• Integrated Rigging Table: The rigid, imprinted lid is designed with high edges and drainage channels. It creates a secure platform for changing lures, meaning hooks and weights won’t roll off into the sea.

• Three Integrated Rod Holders: Situated on the exterior, these holders are game-changers for “tackling up.” They keep your rods vertical and out of the salt/sand while you rig, or hold a spare rod (like a dedicated “surface” or “soft-plastic” setup) ready for action.

• Smart External Tool Storage: Features a moulded plier holster and a full-length zipped front pocket for rapid access to snips, scales, or leader material without opening the main bag.

• Internal Modular Tray: Includes a removable top tray with moveable dividers. This is the perfect place for your “active” lures of the day, ensuring you spend more time casting and less time digging through bulkier boxes.

• Dual-Carry Ergonomics: Equipped with both a padded shoulder strap and clip-together carry handles. The handles feature unique stretchy strips—ideal for hanging lures to dry or tucking in a drying towel.

• Saltwater Grade Components: Utilizing 100% corrosion-free plastic zips, this bag won’t seize up after exposure to salt spray, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh conditions.

Where to Use It (Pro Recommendations)

• Boat & Kayak Angling: The Bakkan is the perfect size for a boat deck. It stays upright in a swell, keeps the spray out, and the rod holders prevent your spare rods from sliding around the deck.

• Rock Hopping for Bass: Use the Bakkan as your “main stash.” Its waterproof EVA base means you can set it down in a rock pool or on wet seaweed without a drop of water getting to your reels or lure boxes.

• The “Lure Lab” Setup: Use the top tray for your most successful “confidence” lures and the internal dividers for specific lure types (e.g., one side for hard baits, one for metals).

• Catch Photography: The handle’s stretchy strips are perfect for keeping a towel handy to dry your hands before picking up your camera for that trophy shot!

Gerry’s Tip: The HTO Bakkan is essentially a “dry-vault.” To keep it smelling fresh, give the inside a quick wipe with a damp cloth if any salt water gets in during a session. Because the zips are plastic, they require very little maintenance, but a quick spray of silicone lubricant once a season will keep them sliding like new
