The last place you want water to collect is in your tackle bag or box. The Hydro-Flo system allows water to escape, so the contents of your bag or tackle box dry naturally. The optional Hydro-Flo StowAway Utility Boxes apply this same technology to the storage of baits and lures. Hundreds of small holes on the top and bottom of each box provide air circulation and drainage that allow wet bait to dry, avoiding the deterioration that can occur inside a sealed box. The bag features an impact and skid-resistant Hydro-Flo base, top access utility compartment, expandable side and back pockets, elastic tie-down straps and easy-lift handles. Standard equipment includes five 3700 Series and two 3600 Series ProLatch™ StowAway boxes.
