Savage Gear Sling Shoulder Bag
The Sling Shoulder Bag from Savage Gear’s new line of Lure Luggage is practical and easy to use when you need equipment on the fly. Lightweight and compact, this is a bag you can simply “sling” over your shoulder. It measures 20 x 30.5 x 17.5 cm (7.8 x 12 x 6.9 in), has a large main compartment that comes with five practical zip-lock-style bags. More convenience is provided by a front pocket that opens out to a Velcro attached lure tray to quickly access lures, hooks, or other tackle. The nylon-head zippers are saltwater and corrosion resistant and there’s also an attached cup holder, pair of D-rings, and rod/fishnet holder. The Sling Shoulder Bag is made using 600D Non-rib fabric and comes with ergonomic padded handles and straps.
