Your rods ride rigged in your own box. Grab one, get to the rail, and drop your jig while the deck is still sorting itself out.

There's no rubber lid liner, and that's deliberate. A box that drains and dries beats one that traps a cup of salt water inside for three days. Hose it, drain it, leave it open.

Hao2Fish is my small business, built on one thing: making tuna fishing accessible to more people. I design and fish my own gear on the same San Diego boats you ride. The 28L is the box I wanted on deck and couldn't buy, so I'm making it.
