WHAT IS IT?
Daiwa D-VEC Dry Bag Backpack
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Recognizing that boat bags may be the most abused and neglected element of fishing storage — overstuffed, tossed here and there, often exposed to the elements — Daiwa designed the D-VEC Dry Bag Backpack to outlast the harshness. Made 100% waterproof with light, durable Tarpaulin/Nylon PVC coated material, this bag is built to resist the bumps and rips common to this mode of storage. Complementing its tenacity, this Dry Bag Backpack’s material offers a soft composition that’s no burden to carry.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Measuring 16 by 27 inches and weighing 2 pounds, the D-VEC Dry Bag Backpack features an oversized, waterproof zippered compartment for quick access to jackets, pliers, backup tackle, cellphone, vehicle keys and other items. The rollover and snap design secure the bag’s contents, while the topside nylon handle makes grabbing convenient. For easy transportation, the backpack configuration provides a dependable hands-free option. Allowing for the usual overpacking tendency, the bag’s seams are firmly reinforced.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
The boat bag is decidedly unfancy, but its utilitarian purpose plays an essential role for many. The very nature of its grab-and-go purpose makes Daiwa’s durability effort — tough material, solid grab point, reinforced seams — all the more meaningful. Also, because this bag style tends to favor folks who are walking lake shores and riverbanks, paddling to their sweet spots or walking gear across the boat ramp parking lot, the ability to comfortably sling this bag over the shoulders is golden.
