Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch Small

Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch Small | 1.2L

Keep your smallest essentials organized and bone-dry. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that it’s the little things—lead clips, swivels, and batteries—that often get lost or damaged by dampness. The Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch Small is the most compact member of the family, offering a 1.2-litre capacity in a rigid, box-style design.

While traditional small pouches are often flimsy fabric bags, the Waterbox Small is manufactured from reinforced moulded EVA. This rigid construction protects delicate terminal tackle or small electronics from being crushed and ensures the pouch maintains its square shape when packed or stacked. With heat-welded waterproof seams and a matte waterproof zip, it provides a level of protection that soft bags simply cannot match. Its square profile is designed to “modularly” fit alongside larger pouches within the Subterfuge Waterbox system.

Technical Specifications

Compact Storage (Examples of Use)

The 1.2L Small pouch is the perfect “bits and bobs” box for your most critical terminal items:

• Terminal Tackle Bits: Ideal for storing packets of hooks, swivels, beads, and lead clips, keeping them all in one dry, organized place.

• Leads & Backleads: Perfect for carrying a selection of specialized leads or backleads without them rattling around and damaging other gear.

• Small Electronics: A safe home for spare headtorch batteries, camera memory cards, or a compact wireless bite alarm receiver.

• Baiting Tools: Great for keeping a set of needles, drills, and some bait floss separate and easy to find.

Pro Tip: The translucent lid is incredibly useful for a pouch this size—you can see if your favorite hook patterns are inside without even opening it. Use the internal zipped mesh pocket for ultra-small items like hair stops or anti-tangle sleeves so they don’t get buried at the bottom of the main compartment.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this size have a grab handle?

No. Unlike the larger sizes in the range, the Small 1.2L pouch is designed without a webbing handle. This keeps its square profile as sleek as possible, allowing it to be tucked into small gaps or stacked perfectly alongside other pouches without any external “bulk” getting in the way.

Will it fit in my coat pocket?

At 12cm x 12cm, it is compact enough to fit in the large cargo pockets of most fishing jackets or over-trousers, making it a great option for a “mobile” kit when you’re just wandering the margins.

How does it handle spills?

Because the interior has rounded corners, it’s incredibly easy to clean. If a pot of pop-ups leaks or a liquid attractant spills inside, just rinse it out under a tap and wipe it dry. The EVA won’t absorb smells or stains.

What makes it better than a plastic tackle box?

While it is rigid like a box, the EVA has a slight “give” to it that plastic doesn’t. This means it won’t crack if dropped on hard ground or frozen in sub-zero temperatures, and the waterproof zip provides a much better seal against fine rain and humidity than a standard clip-lid box
