Outdoor Accessories

Half the battle on a coastal day is getting your gear there and back, dry and in one piece. Our outdoor accessories are the bags and carryalls that make that easier: the roomy NGT Multi Rucksack and Quantum Waterproof Carryall, the Zebco Allround Carryall, the Quantum Spinner Bait Bag. Hard-wearing kit, chosen to take the salt, sand and knocks of regular use around the coast, rather than fragile stuff that gives up after a season.

Bags for shore, rock and kayak

Match the bag to where you fish. Off the rocks or loading a kayak, where spray and damp come as standard, look for waterproof or water-resistant fabrics. If there's a fair walk to your spot, weigh up how it carries. A rucksack frees your hands for the scramble down to a quieter mark; a carryall keeps tackle tidy at your feet. Still building a setup? Our sea fishing kits explained guide is a friendly place to start, and the complete travel and telescopic kits here come with a backpack included, so the rod and reel and all the tackle pack down neatly for the bus, the boot or a clifftop path.

Looking after gear near saltwater

A little care and a bag lasts years. Rinse it in fresh water after salt, empty out the sand, and let everything dry fully before it goes away so the zips don't corrode and nothing turns musty. The same kit carries far more than rods, so it works well with our crabbing kits for a family day on the quay, and anyone heading out on the water should also see our marine essentials for flotation and boat spares before setting off.
