Akios EVA Internal Organiser & Two Tackle Pods

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that a cluttered tackle bag is the fastest way to lose your rhythm on the beach. When the tide is pushing and the fish are biting, you don’t want to be digging through a mountain of gear for a specific rig or a spare set of snips. The Akios EVA Internal Organiser System is the professional’s choice for “micro-organization,” providing a modular, 1/2 width solution that keeps your essentials indexed and bone-dry.

This system is specifically designed to sit across a standard carryall, occupying exactly half the width. This “half-width” design is a masterstroke of practicality—it allows you to keep your heavy tackle boxes or spare reels on one side while having your most-used terminal bits perfectly organized in the pods on the other. Whether you are a match angler looking for a “speed-station” or a recreational angler traveling light for a short evening session, this system ensures every bead, swivel, and tool is exactly where it should be.

The Modular Pod System

The organiser comes complete with two internal tackle pods. These pods are independent units that sit perfectly inside the main organiser. This allows you to pull out a single pod containing your “essentials” (like bait elastic, scissors, and hooks) and keep it on your tripod tray or seat box lid, while the rest of your gear stays protected inside the main, water-resistant EVA housing.

Made from high-grade, salt-resistant EVA with heat-welded seams, the entire system is 100% leak-proof and incredibly easy to clean. If you get home and find your gear covered in salt spray, you can simply hose the organisers down and wipe them dry in seconds.

Examples of Where to Use

• Match Fishing “Speed Station”: Use one pod for your “working” components (clips and beads) and the second for your “emergency” tools (disgorgers and snips).

• Light Rock Fishing (LRF): This system is the perfect “grab-and-go” bag for lure specialists. One pod for jig heads, one for soft plastics, and the main organiser for your leader spools.

• Charter Boat Side-Tray: The 1/2 width footprint is ideal for the limited space on a boat’s side tray, keeping your terminal tackle out of the wash and spray.

• Short Beach Sessions: If you’re just heading out for two hours over high water, don’t take a full rucksack. The Internal Organiser has enough room for your reels, some leads, and your pods, making for a lightweight, mobile setup.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The beauty of the ‘1/2 Width’ system is that it creates a ‘clean side’ and a ‘dirty side’ in your carryall. I personally use this organiser on the left side of my bag for all my terminal tackle, which leaves the right side open for my Akios EVA Cool Bag. Because they are all modular, they don’t slide around in the car. Also, a top tip for the pods: use a small piece of ‘hook and loop’ tape on the bottom of the pods and your tripod tray—it stops them from blowing away in a gale when the lids are open!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit in the Akios 50L Rucksack?

Yes. While it is designed as a “Carryall Fit” (to sit across the width), it fits perfectly into the main compartment of the Akios 50L Rucksack, where it can be used to stack your gear vertically or horizontally to maximize space.

Are the internal pods sold separately?

The system comes with two pods included, which is usually plenty for a standard session. However, because the Akios range is modular, you can often add extra pods from the wider EVA range if you want to create a more complex indexing system.

Is it easy to open with cold hands?

Akios uses oversized, high-quality zippers with ergonomic pulls specifically for this reason. Even in the depths of winter when your fingers are numb, the zips operate smoothly without snagging.

Can I store ‘wet’ gear in the pods?

Because the seams are welded and the EVA is non-absorbent, you can put wet rigs back into the pods. However, we always recommend leaving the lids open once you get home to allow everything to air dry, preventing hooks from tarnishing.
