Akios EVA Carryall

At Gerry’s Fishing, we believe that organization is the foundation of successful angling. The Akios EVA Carryall is the “mothership” of the Akios modular luggage system. Designed to be the central hub for your shore, boat, or pier sessions, this 27-litre powerhouse is built to keep your gear bone-dry, salt-free, and perfectly organized in even the most hostile environments.

Crafted from tough, high-grade EVA material, this carryall isn’t just a bag—it’s a durable gear vault. Unlike traditional fabric carryalls that absorb seawater, fish slime, and sand, the Akios EVA exterior is completely non-porous. If it gets dirty, you simply hose it down. With a rigid structure that holds its shape even when empty, it provides a stable platform to store your reels, terminal tackle organisers, and bait bags.

Rugged Portability & Modular Design

The Akios Carryall is specifically dimensioned (41 x 26 x 26 cm) to work in harmony with the rest of the Akios EVA range. It serves as the perfect outer shell for the Akios EVA Cool Bag and Internal Organisers, allowing you to create a customized “Tetris-style” storage system where every inch of space is utilized.

Transport is made easy with two heavy-duty options: hard plastic ergonomically shaped handles for quick grabs off the boat or car boot, and a fully adjustable, padded shoulder strap for those longer walks down the promenade or across the shingle.

Examples of Where to Use

• Charter Boat Fishing: The perfect “deck bag.” The water-resistant EVA prevents salt spray from reaching your spare reels and dry clothes, while the hard base keeps it stable on a rocking deck.

• Pier & Promenade Angling: Its boxy, rigid design makes it ideal for sitting on a trolley or a pier bench. The hard handles are perfect for frequent short moves as you follow the fish.

• Beach Casting: Place it directly on the sand or wet shingle; the welded seams ensure no moisture creeps in from the bottom to ruin your tackle.

• The “Everything” Bag: Use it to store your bulkier items like rain smocks, large reel cases, and spare spools alongside your modular organisers.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The real magic of the Akios Carryall is when you pair it with the Akios EVA Internal Organisers. Because the carryall is 26cm deep, you can stack the 1/2 width organisers on top of each other. I suggest keeping your ‘heavy’ items like leads and spare spools at the bottom to lower the center of gravity, and your ‘active’ gear like rigs and baiting tools in a modular pod at the top. Also, don’t forget—if you’ve had a messy session with frozen bait, you can actually use the main carryall as a wash-basin for your other EVA pods once you get home!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the carryall 100% waterproof?

The EVA material and heat-welded seams are completely waterproof. Rain and sea spray will never penetrate the fabric. However, like all zip-up luggage, it should not be fully submerged, as water can eventually enter through the zipper teeth if held underwater.

Does it fit a standard seat box?

While it isn’t designed to go inside a seat box, its dimensions make it an excellent companion to one. Many anglers use a seat box for their heavy leads and a carryall like this for their “clean” gear, reels, and clothing.

How do I maintain the zippers in saltwater environments?

Akios uses high-quality, corrosion-resistant zippers. However, salt crystals are abrasive. After a session, we recommend wiping the zippers with a damp cloth or giving them a quick spray with a silicone-based lubricant to keep them sliding smoothly for years.

Can I fit the Akios 50L Rucksack gear inside this?

This carryall is a 27-litre system, making it more compact than the 50L rucksack. It is designed for anglers who prefer a “hand-carry” or “shoulder-carry” style over a backpack, but it uses the same modular pods, so you can easily swap your gear between the two systems depending on the session.
