Canyon vs Reliable - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

EastLosYaker · 05-05-2016, 11:40 PM

Going to pick up a kill bag soon and trying to decide between the two companies. I've been researching and reading reviews, and haven't been convinced one way or the other. Anyone have experience with either of these? Not for otw or extended use. Mostly for transporting the catch home on the same day.

When I talked to canyon last summer, owner said he will make custom length bag fyi. Seemed like a stand up guy but I ended up using the ole burlap bag solution........I am cheap. Ha. Pretty much call it a day once I catch a fish so back on the beach in LJ within an hour of catching. Believe reliable may be most popular around here since it seems kayak shops carry that manufacturer. Local shop told me they are very pleased with reliable.

I've had this Reliable Kill Bag for about 1 1/2 years, since they came out with this kayak version. I'm very happy with the workmanship, materials, and the fish and ice holding capabilities.
I'd go Reliable...!

I've heard good things about both, but I'm very pleased with the reliable bag.

I keep the Reliable 60 incher in the back seat of my truck, if I get lucky just need to grab ice.

The reliable seems to be reliable.

Only have experience with reliable and it's been great. Very sturdy construction and can stuff plenty of fish
