Fishpond Thunderhead HD Duffel Specifications

Fully Submersible Protection for Fishing and Travel

When your fishing adventures involve unpredictable weather, rough water, or remote destinations, keeping critical equipment dry is essential.

With 46 liters of interior space, the bag provides room for fishing clothing, additional layers, fly boxes, reels, accessories, and other equipment commonly needed for extended fishing trips.

An interior hanging pocket keeps smaller essentials organized, while the exterior quick-access pocket provides convenient storage for items you may need frequently during travel.

The exterior pocket features a coated zipper for water resistance, while the main TIZIP compartment provides the fully submersible protection.
