EGO’s new Tackle Box Sling Pack consolidates, carries, and Easily Throws Over Your Shoulder

Fishing, like football, is a game of inches. An inch, either way, means winning or losing a tournament, boxing a fish for dinner…or returning it to the drink. Inches also matter when you’re packing for fishing on-the-go.

Fully considered, EGO Fishing hatches the tactical Tackle Box Sling Pack (Kryptek PONTUS and Kryptek TYPHON). Like all EGO creations, it solves real-world fishing challenges with exceptional design and tactical precision for the savvy angler.

Let’s begin with the elephant in the room – the sling design. The clumsy double shoulder straps can hamper maximum mobility on the typical backpack-style tackle bag. Sometimes tricky to even get both arms through; once in place, the pack often slides down one shoulder or the other, especially if you’re not cut like Gronk or Kelsey.

Conversely, EGO’s Tackle Box Sling Pack’s innovative single strap design quickly humps over your head and one shoulder and then instantly settles in place as the strap crosses your chest and the pack relaxes on your back. The pack’s weight immediately distributes evenly. The quick-carrying comfort is stunning. 

The strap is padded and wide in profile – not cutting into your shoulder – and features a sturdy quick clip for releasing. Completing the Tackle Box Sling Pack’s carrying capacity, you’ll appreciate a padded handle on top for quick toting.

Overall, construction is also at the heart of the Tackle Box Sling Pack. The tactical and technical exterior utilizes robust 1000D Nylon fabric with PVC backing – the tough stuff – to minimize wear and tear. Toughness continues with wide-toothed zippers, which are protected by fabric overlays. But even the best-of-the-best zippers are useless if they can’t be easily opened and closed. To this, EGO gave the Tackle Box Sling Pack strong zipper pulls, ones you can grab or pull with a single inserted finger.  

The pack’s external storage and features further realize those valuable inches. Its front sports a trifecta of zippered compartments. The shallow primary partition can harbor technology like an iPad, while its two additional mesh zippered slots can hold your smartphone, keys, etc. Atop the primary partition are a pair of full-featured, zippered pouches with ample storage for sunglasses and fishing sundries. The front is finished with laser-cut MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment) slots for fishing tools. Lastly, you’ll appreciate the exterior’s elastic water bottle pouch and rod/reel combo holder.

Every internal inch of EGO’s Tackle Box Sling Pack is contemplated, too. First, it opens to reveal three included 3700-size utility tackle trays – accommodating more than enough tackle for an excursion. Moreover, the trays are kept snug with a clever securing strap. The underside of the compartment lid is fully-realized as well. With handiness in mind, EGO added four magnetic points for hanging hooks and lighter tackle, as well as a pair of soft strips for holding baits. In aggregate, the area performs as an impromptu workbench for rigging. Simply ingenious… 

Such overarching tactical technology also begged for complementary looks. EGO did so by partnering with Kryptek. The edgy patterns are inspired by artillery camouflage netting and have proven to be the most effective camouflage available by the U.S. Department of Defense. EGO’s Tackle Box Sling Pack is available in Kryptek PONTUS and TYPHON
