The Taco Bag does one job perfectly: it is where your wet, muddy waders and boots go so they are not in the footwell of your truck.
Unfold it on the tailgate, stand on it while you change, then fold it up with everything inside. The mat becomes the bag. That is the whole idea, and it is the sort of thing you do not know you needed until you have used one.
Why it earns its place
- Somewhere clean to stand while you pull waders on and off — no more one-legged hopping on gravel
- Contains the mess — wet boots, gravel, and river mud stay in the bag instead of your carpet
- Keeps the smell out of the cab, which anyone who has left wet wading boots in a hot truck understands
- Handles for carrying it from truck to garage
Current pricing is on the selector above.
The honest pitch. This is not exciting gear. It is the accessory that most extends the life of your waders and boots, because gear that gets hung up to dry rather than balled up wet in a trunk simply lasts longer. Waders fail at the seams, and the fastest way to get there is storing them damp.
Also worth pairing: a Dry Creek dry bag for the things that must stay dry, and a boot bag if you travel with waders. We stock both.
Buying waders or boots from us? Ask about this at the counter — it is the single most useful add-on for anyone who fishes from a truck, which is everyone around here.
