Perfect for wade fishing

My original Bluewave gave up the ghost earlier this spring surf season after over 10 years of od of heavy-duty use. That alone should be reason enough to buy one. As a fishing guide, I fish nearly every day and that bag was A-B-U-S-E-D and took it like a champ. So when it was time to replace it, of course, I went back to the Bluewave. Wow, was I surprised.

The round tubes, the double front pockets, the drainage - all improved? How do you improve on something so good and not charge 10x's what I paid for the first one? I don't know, but Shimano did it.

This bag is the perfect blend of size, layout, function, and most of all price - I had some extra cash in hand when I went looking for a new bag so I did consider those other ones that cost the same as a night in a decent hotel - Sure they were great, but at this price point - I can buy two - keep one in the buggy and one at the house.

It is the best bag I have ever seen.

Got it just in time, and decided to use it on a trip to the Salmon River in NY. Worked great held everything I needed with room to spare. Tried it out on the beach last night and it served its purpose well. Seems well built, with plenty of room.

Whether you’re a beginner or pro this bag is perfect for your plugging needs so you don’t have to run back to the beach to swap out plugs!

I bought the Bluewave Bag last season as a smaller plug bag to fish the beach with and honestly works perfect not too big but it can fit anything in it. Pliers holder came in handy in waist deep water and it clips to your wader belt perfectly. Totally would recommend this product for anyone going out in the surf

I have a decent amount of plugs, tons and jigs when I fish. This is my favorite bag to store them in! Big plugs won't fit in the compartments though...

look, we would all love to have a custom bag that has all the little accoutrements to fit our style of fishing. but how many can afford that. this bag offers a good amount of storage space. durable, can take a pretty good beating and still survive. sleek design too. plenty of drainage. probably more than some custom bags in my opinion.

Being an avid user of Shimano Reels, rods, and apparel, it was only natural that I give this bag a shot. And I am glad I did. If you use Shimano Reels and Rods, then you know how well made, durable, and reliable, they are. Same holds true for these bags. Very well made, laid out, and practical. As well as durable, and well thought out. I actually started with the small bag. Using it for a couple of years, until my lure arsenal became larger. I then bought the medium bag, giving the small one to my Brother in Law. After 3 seasons with the small bag, in the surf, he thought I bought him a new bag! The main differences between the small and medium bag is; 2 extra vertical plug holders(divided in half by black dividers), medium bag has a larger side pouch to hold a small box(small one has a pouch to hold 2 jars of pork), and a larger area in order to store more tins, bucktails and diamond jigs. Both bags have a pliers sheath secured with a Velcro strap on the narrow side, tin, bucktail and jig holders, and vertical plug tubes divided in half with black dividers. Both have a large D ring on the back side of the bag with a large carabiner so you can clip it onto a D ring on your wader belt, taking pressure and weight off of your neck from the strap. They also have a large D ring on side near where the strap is secured, above the pliers sheath to secure your pliers lanyard or anything you may have. And 2 drain holes in the bottom of the bag. The bag closes with commercial grade heavy duty Velcro. And the material the bag is made out of is also heavy duty. And the strap is included with both bags. And lastly, the price of both is great and affordable. I could not find a bag, made of such high quality as these, for under $100. And then the quality of some of the bags for over $100 were questionable. And you have to purchase the shoulder strap separately for some of the others! I am very happy with this bag. And I am sure you will be as well. Be well!
