A kayak tackle bag needs a smaller, tie-down-friendly footprint than a boat bag. Water-resistant fabric protects against spray, but it is not a waterproof dry bag after a capsize; put electronics, keys and a phone in a separate rated dry case. Prioritize tray size, seated access, a stable bottom and attachment points that keep the bag from shifting when the kayak turns.

- Water-resistant fabric handles spray; use a true dry case or dry bag for phone, keys and electronics.

- Clip or leash the bag to a rated kayak attachment point before launching.
