Shimano Back Pack & Tackle Box

Shimano Tackle Backpack & Tackle Box | The Mobile Angler’s Ultimate Storage

At Gerry’s Fishing, we highly recommend the Shimano Tackle Backpack for the roving angler who needs to keep their hands free and their gear organized. Whether you are rock hopping, hiking to a remote river, or walking the banks of a local canal, this backpack is designed to carry a comprehensive selection of lures, jigs, and terminal tackle without the bulk of a traditional tackle box.

Winning the prestigious AFTA “Tackle Management of the Year” award, this backpack is built from rugged 420D/600D Polyester, ensuring it can withstand the harsh marine environment while providing all-day comfort for the mobile fisherman.

Organized, Durable, and Feature-Rich

• 4-Tray Capacity: The main lower compartment is specifically designed to house up to 4 tackle trays (typically supplied with 3 or 4 depending on the model). These trays are perfect for organizing everything from small terminal tackle to large hard-body lures and metal jigs.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from a blend of 420D and 600D Polyester, the bag is both water-resistant and highly durable. Reinforced stitching and heavy-duty zippers with easy-grab tags ensure long-term reliability in salty and sun-drenched conditions.

• Ergonomic Support: Featuring redesigned padding for back support and heavy-duty padded shoulder straps, this backpack distributes weight evenly, making it comfortable to carry even when fully loaded with lead and metal jigs.

• Specialized Tool Storage: The backpack includes dedicated exterior locations for your fishing knife and pliers, ensuring your most essential tools are always within reach when things heat up during a hot bite.

• Versatile Pocket Layout: Beyond the main tackle section, the bag features a large top compartment for reels, raincoats, or food, plus side mesh pockets for leader material, water bottles, and other small accessories.

Use Example: Rock Hopping and Bank Wandering

Imagine you are trekking along a rugged coastline, needing both hands free to navigate over rocks or hold your rod for balance. You need to carry a wide variety of lures—soft plastics, surface poppers, and heavy metal slices—to react to whatever species are feeding.

The Shimano Tackle Backpack is the perfect solution. You can carry your entire lure selection in the four internal trays, while your reels, spare leader, and sunscreen are tucked away in the upper pockets. If you need to change your rig quickly, you simply slide the bag off, grab the specific tray you need, and you’re back in the water. After the session, the easy-to-clean material allows you to wipe away salt and grime, keeping your gear in showroom condition.
