Gander Mountain Tackle Bag | Organized Fishing Storage
Our Gander Mountain tackle bag gives you organized storage for every fishing trip. We designed this bag with three main compartments and reinforced dividers to keep tackle boxes separated and accessible. The water-resistant base protects your gear from wet boat decks and muddy shorelines.
Each side features zippered pockets sized for pliers, line spools, and leaders. The padded shoulder strap adjusts for comfortable carry whether you’re walking the dock or hiking to remote streams. Heavy-duty zippers and reinforced stitching at stress points ensure this bag handles seasons of use.
- Three main compartments with adjustable dividers
- Water-resistant 600D polyester construction
- Reinforced base panel protects against moisture
- Six exterior zippered pockets for tools and accessories
- Padded adjustable shoulder strap with quick-release buckle
Construction & Materials
We built this tackle bag from 600-denier polyester that resists tears and abrasion from hooks and lures. The material maintains its shape when loaded with tackle boxes and doesn’t sag or collapse like lighter fabrics. A PVC-coated base panel creates a waterproof barrier between your gear and wet surfaces.
Reinforced stitching runs along every seam and stress point. We double-stitch the shoulder strap attachment points and compartment dividers to handle heavy loads. The zippers are marine-grade YKK models that resist corrosion from saltwater exposure and continue operating smoothly after hundreds of open-close cycles.
Storage Configuration & Capacity
The main compartment divides into three sections using removable padded dividers. This lets you customize the layout based on your tackle box sizes and fishing style. Most anglers fit four standard 3600-size utility boxes with room for soft plastic bags in the remaining space.
Six exterior pockets provide quick-access storage for frequently used tools. The two large side pockets accommodate pliers, forceps, and hook removers. Four smaller zippered pockets on the front panel hold line spools, leader material, and backup hooks. An interior mesh pocket keeps small items like swivels and split rings from getting lost in the main compartment.
###Organization Features###
Clear plastic windows on each divider panel let you identify tackle box contents without opening zippers. This saves time when switching setups between techniques. Elastic loops along the interior walls secure rod tubes or measuring boards.
The bag maintains its structure even when partially loaded thanks to semi-rigid side panels. This prevents tackle boxes from shifting during transport and keeps everything in place when you set the bag down. Rubber feet on the base elevate the bag slightly to improve airflow and prevent moisture accumulation.

Common Questions About the Gander Mountain Tackle Bag
The main compartment holds up to four standard 3600-size utility boxes when using the included dividers. You can remove dividers to accommodate larger boxes or different configurations. The adjustable layout lets you customize storage based on your specific tackle organization system.
Many anglers fit three 3600 boxes plus soft plastic storage or additional smaller containers in the remaining space. The bag’s dimensions are 16 inches long by 10 inches wide by 12 inches high internally.
The bag features a water-resistant construction with a reinforced PVC base that protects against moisture from wet surfaces. While the base is waterproof, the main compartment uses water-resistant fabric and zippers rather than fully sealed waterproof closures.
This design protects your gear from splashes, rain, and damp conditions but isn’t intended for submersion. The water-resistant treatment sheds light rain and prevents moisture from seeping through the bottom when you set the bag on wet boat decks or shorelines.
Yes, the padded shoulder strap attaches with quick-release buckles that let you detach it instantly. This feature is useful when storing the bag in tight spaces or when you prefer to carry it by the top handles.
The strap attachment points use reinforced stitching and metal hardware rated for heavy loads. You can reattach the strap in seconds when you need hands-free carrying for longer distances.
The two large side pockets accommodate fishing pliers up to 8 inches long, forceps, hook removers, and lip grippers. Four front zippered pockets hold line spools, leader coils, spare hooks, swivels, and other small terminal tackle.
Each pocket includes a drainage grommet to prevent water accumulation. The pockets maintain their shape when empty thanks to semi-rigid backing panels that prevent collapse and make items easier to access.
Rinse the exterior with fresh water to remove salt residue, paying special attention to zippers and hardware. Wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh detergents that can damage the water-resistant coating.
Open all compartments and let the bag air dry completely before storage. This prevents mildew and preserves the fabric. Apply zipper lubricant periodically to keep zippers operating smoothly after saltwater exposure.
The compact 16×10×12-inch dimensions fit most kayak tank wells and larger storage compartments. The rectangular shape maximizes space efficiency compared to rounded bags. Many kayak anglers position this bag behind the seat or in front storage areas.
The bag’s structured design prevents it from tipping over in moving vessels. Rubber feet on the base provide stability and prevent sliding during transport. Check your specific kayak model’s storage dimensions to confirm fit.
Yes, all internal dividers are removable and repositionable with hook-and-loop attachments. You can create two, three, or four compartments based on your tackle box sizes and organization preferences. The dividers include padding to protect tackle box corners.
Clear windows on each divider let you identify contents without opening zippers. This customization works for various fishing styles, whether you need space for multiple small boxes or prefer fewer larger containers with room for bulk storage.
