Rapala CountDown Backpack – New for 2026

Stay mobile, stay organized, and keep your hands free for what matters most—the fishing. The Rapala CountDown Backpack is the ultimate companion for the active angler who refuses to be tied down to a single spot. Whether you are trekking through overgrown riverbanks or navigating urban canals, this backpack is built to handle the rigours of modern lure fishing while keeping your essential gear exactly where you need it.

Designed specifically to accommodate two Rapala 356 Tackle Trays (3700 size), the CountDown Backpack doesn’t just store your gear; it manages it. The 3D mesh padded shoulder straps and ventilated back panel ensure that even on the warmest days or the longest hikes, you remain comfortable and dry. With dedicated straps for your rod and landing net, you can move between swims with ease, knowing your primary tools are secure and ready for action.

Key Features & Performance

Ultimate Comfort: The ergonomic design features 3D mesh padding on both the straps and the back support, promoting airflow and reducing fatigue during long sessions.
Total Stability: An adjustable chest belt keeps the load centered, preventing the bag from shifting while you’re climbing over rocks or casting.
Quick-Access Storage: The main compartment is designed for “easy-access,” meaning you won’t be digging around for your lure boxes when the bite is on.
Tool Ready: A built-in plier holster and daisy chain attachment points mean your unhooking tools and line cutters are always within reach.
Weather-Resistant Durability: Equipped with high-quality, rustproof zippers, this bag is built to withstand the damp, salty, or muddy environments anglers call home.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“If you’re a mobile lure angler, use the external rod straps to carry a second setup—like a dedicated drop-shot rod—while you fish with your main lure rod. It’s a game-changer for switching tactics instantly without having to walk back to the car. Also, the padded back pocket isn’t just for laptops; it’s a great spot to slide in a slim unhooking mat or a tablet for checking tide charts on the go!”

Where to Use the CountDown Backpack

Urban Street Fishing: Perfect for navigating city structures where a bulky bag would get in the way.
River Roaming: Move effortlessly through brush and high grass with your rod and net securely strapped to your back.
Stillwater Day Trips: Pack enough lures for a full day on the reservoir without the bulk of a traditional tackle station.
Everyday Commuting: Its sleek design and internal laptop-friendly sleeve make it a great “crossover” bag for work or school.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the backpack come with the tackle trays included?

No, the tackle trays, rods, nets, and water bottles shown in images are for illustrative purposes. The backpack is designed to perfectly fit Rapala 356 or standard 3700-size trays, which are sold separately.

Is the backpack waterproof?

While the materials are highly water-resistant and designed for the outdoors, it is not a fully submersible waterproof bag. It will easily handle light rain and splashes, but we recommend using a dry bag for electronics during heavy downpours.

Can I fit a laptop in this bag?

Yes! The backpack features a padded back pocket that can comfortably accommodate most 15-inch laptops or tablets, making it versatile for both fishing and daily use.

How do the rod straps work?

The adjustable hook-and-loop straps on the side allow you to secure a multi-section rod or a landing net handle vertically, keeping your hands completely free while walking.
