Originally designed as a reel case, we started using these as our boat gear bags. Of all the reel cases, this one is the best suited for a boat bag because the bottom is waterproof and can sit in standing water up to about two inches. Great for velcro adjustable "pockets" for everything you need in the boat including indicators, cameras, leadres, tippet, small fly boxes, split shot, suntan lotion, snacks, and more... The best part is the price!
