RIVERSMITH CONVOY PACKOUT BAG

 

The Convoy PackOut Bag is a simple, functional gear solution for anglers who move between banks, boats, and roadside camps. It’s compact, easy to carry, and designed to work in a wide range of situations—from wading belts and sling-style carry to mounting on raft frames or truck headrests.

 

Convoy PackOut Specs & Features

• Dimensions: 11in x 8in x 2in
• Weight: 0.5 lbs
• Includes removable, machine-washable 11in x 22in trash containment bag
• Two water-resistant compartments
• Dedicated trash and gear pockets

Key Features and Functional Design

The PackOut is a compact bag with two compartments: one for your gear and one for a removable, washable trash bag, which can double as a second gear pocket. The gear pocket fits essentials like tippet, floatant, and a medium fly box. Tool straps hold forceps or hemostats where you need them. You can wear it over your shoulder, around your waist, or sling-style. The Velcro attachment system also makes it easy to secure to wading belts, raft frames, car seats, or cooler handles. It’s lightweight, low profile, and easy to use in the boat or on foot.

Ask the Right Question

Is it just a pack—or something you’ll actually use?

The Convoy PackOut is made for people who spend time on the river. It works strapped to a raft frame, worn around your waist, or tossed in the truck. If your day involves casting, rowing, or picking up litter along the way, this bag fits in. You can wear it, mount it, or stash it—and toss the trash bag in the wash when you're done. At a price similar to, or less than other compact fishing packs, it offers more ways to carry and more places to mount. And it’s the only one that helps you leave the water cleaner than you found it.

This is a small, practical pack for anglers who keep things simple.
