Kuuma works for me

Are those the ones that Englunds sells? Every time I go in there I see the kill bags hung up on display (right by the stainless propane crab cookers ) and have to fight to keep from melting my credit card. Not sure of the brand, other than I recognize Reliable and it's not one of theirs.

I’m not sure if it’s still the same, but years ago the Englund “Pescaro” bags were made by WPS here in Oregon. I have a couple of WPS bags that have served me well for about 13 years now (one is sitting in my truck full of tuna right now). I also have a Reliable bag that I bought because it has a wider bottom footprint that stands up better in my boat.

The Kuuma bags from Englund are the best I have ever used.

I’ve had good luck with a few options for a new fish bag, but I’d recommend going with something that’s both tough and roomy. You want it to be durable enough to handle the weight, keep your catch safe and be easy to carry. I’ve been using a duffel bag style for a while now, and it works perfectly. It’s spacious, has plenty of room for multiple fish, and the extra compartments help keep things organized. If you want something sturdy and practical, you’d be happy with the Western duffel bags. They’re reliable and built to last!

This is the answer. These bags are killer. Extremely well made, welded, leakproof, drain plug, cool colors, can be custom or pre-made... all the good stuff!

Spot on here. Rugged bags are local made in Longview, do not leak, and the people that make them are really good folks. Stop in and get one made in a custom color you select.
I also hade them custom make a slip in bait cooler for one of the rear bins in my Seahawk, it is sweet! They even tossed in a new rope bag for free!

Support American made!

I own a Chinook Outdoors bag which were made in Clackamas and it is still going strong.

I dont own a Rugged bag but in the name of my father and father in law that endured the unimaginable in the Pacific theater of war, I have made a concerted effort to buy American made.

I have a Reliable bag and I think they are next level.

I have several WPS Bags and they are less money and I suppose slightly lower quality, but they still work great.

If mine is full of ice water it might leak a tiny bit. So I wouldn't put it in the trunk of my car. But it doesn't leak enough to bother me in a fishing boat.

Reliable is aptly named for a reason. They rock! I've had mine for years and use it every trip. Still going strong!

I have two reliable bags and they are great. Really good quality. But.. they do leak some. Which I think is partly my fault for never doing the seam sealer treatment.

Agreed...not really any useful information in the post.

My wife has a habit of listening to me ( bless her heart) when I talk about needing something. Last summer it was new new kill bags. She ordered a couple Buffalo brand from Amazon. I wasn’t excited because I like to research gear before I purchase. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. They’re sturdy, hold ice well and don’t leak. Can’t speak to longevity though

The bimart Calcutta ones are about $40. They last a season or two! Wish they made a smaller one for trout size!
