Minimalistic. Highly water-resistant. Made to last.

We’ve been making and refining this pack for the past 6 years. We designed it for fishing but it's being used all over the world, for all kinds of things, and has been tested to its limits.

The idea for the bag came from a frustration that fishing is so often overcomplicated, particularly the kit, so this pack is designed to take just the things you need and have them close to hand.

Take less, fish more.

faq's

Are your bags waterproof?

Our bags are not totally waterproof, very few are. But they are pretty damn close. This bag has two layers of waterproof fabric for extra protection.

What can I fit in this bag?

This is a hard question to answer as so many things are different shapes and sizes. However, we can easily fit a couple of spools of tippet, a big C&F fly box and a couple of smaller boxes too. It takes more than enough for a great day on the water.

Do you really only make 25 bags a week?

We sure do! 25 bags is our maximum capacity and we have no interest in making more than that. It means we can take great care over every detail in all stages of production.

Think 25 bags sounds like a lot? It's not. Rolls Royce actually make over 60 cars per week.

Can I customise this bag?

Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. It depends on the product. If you want to know more, send us an email and let us know what product you would like to personalise, along with what sort of personalisation you would like.

great zips = 50 hours of research

We don't like zips, they tend to be the first thing that breaks on a bag. So when it came to finding a zip for our Universal Pack we knew it had to be something special.Eventually we chose a Riri AQUAzip®. These zippers are weatherproof, super hard-wearing, and made in Switzerland.

our impact

We feel personally responsible for the things we put out into the world and believe business should be a force for good.

to keep our impact low we:

→ Only make 25 bags a week
→ Will repair your bag for life
→ Will recycle your bag at the end of its life
→ Carbon offset all that we make and do. We plant trees locally (we actually plant
them) and in places where they will have a big impact with the help of Ecologi.

Quality & Comfort

I bought this as when wading, or even bank fishing all day, I wanted something to support my lower back to save it from aching. Having seen the quality of the bags etc that Oscar & Nell sell already, I didn't hesitate buying the belt. It is so well made with quality materials, the clasp is like nothing you can buy elsewhere, and I just know it will last. The design is well thought out, as I knew it would be, with a net holder etc. I would recommend for anyone who is looking for a quality wading belt, the fact it can be used to hold the net and has D rings for other things to be attached is an added bonus.
