PENN Expands Saltwater Expertise with New Waterproof Bags

One of the biggest names in saltwater fishing, PENN, is taking their saltwater expertise beyond fishing gear with a new line of waterproof bags, kill bags, and accessories. Knowing just how harsh saltwater is on everything, the PENN team spent two years researching, testing, and spending time on the water to better understand what makes a great waterproof bag. These new PENN soft goods are built for anglers who put their gear through the wringer every long day on the water. For those long runs through rough chop and spray and constant salt, grime, and sun exposure. Each soft good is made with a rugged TPU shell, welded seams, waterproof zippers, reinforced stitching, and nonslip bases. Additionally, other features include antimicrobial linings, reinforced skid plates, and durable handles.
