For the price sounds like a bloody good deal and if its completely sealed I think you may have found the ultimate cost effective fish transporter for the last part of the journey home

Thanks guys.  It seems more like a "normal" bag, probably ideal for storing tackle than as storage for fish caught including water and ice. 


Redbus9, let us know what your impressions are once you receive the product.

Thanks

Rob, tend to agree. If it's waterproof though, it would be good if someone wants to take a fish home and not make a mess of the car. It won't be packed in ice etc, but enough not to drip all over the car!

hi guys,the bag certainly looks waterproof to me.i dont intend to fill it with ice and water thou i suppose i could,its more for transporting fish without anything leaking out.the seams of the bag look really good so hopefully there shouldnt be any mess,soon as i fill it with tuna and lampuki i will post how it worked out.

Keith you could always do a test, fill the bag with some water and test the seams. Better to know how things are with fresh water, than have a bloody mess :P
