Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing wet venues and muddy swims. The waterproof EVA body and wipe-clean finish keep tackle protected and make the post-session clean-up far less of a palaver.
- Anglers who like a tidy, modular luggage setup. The square profile stacks well, while the lid and Subterfuge compatibility help create a neat working station.
Maybe skip if
- Roaming anglers carrying everything on their back. The rigid shape is less forgiving than a soft bag when space is tight or you’re moving between swims.
- Short-session anglers carrying only a few tiny items. Even the Small is a structured box, so a compact pouch may be less bulky for a quick dabble.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Carryall is a cracking bit of bank luggage if you’re fed up with soggy kit, floppy bags and zips full of lake muck. Its closed-cell EVA construction is properly practical: waterproof, wipe-clean and rigid enough to stack without everything collapsing in on itself.
Pick the size around the way you fish. Small keeps a short session tidy, Medium is the sensible all-rounder, and Large gives you serious capacity for longer stays. It’s not the lightest or softest luggage option, but for wet-weather reliability and a tidy setup, it’s bob on.

Welded EVA, reinforced contact points and a moulded base give it a properly robust feel on paper.
The waterproof body, resistant zip area and rigid profile are well matched to wet, messy bank work.
It won’t catch the fish for you, but organised tackle and a usable work tray can cut faff when bite-time arrives.
Self-supporting storage, stackability, wipe-clean surfaces and three sizes make it straightforward to live with.
The useful construction and modular compatibility justify a solid score, though rigid EVA luggage usually costs more than basic fabric bags.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Carryall
There’s nothing worse than opening your luggage after a wet night and finding the bottom covered in lake water, bait juice and whatever mystery sludge lives in the back of the barrow. That’s where the Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Carryall earns its keep. It’s built like a proper storage box rather than a floppy holdall, with waterproof EVA doing the hard graft.
The range comes in three sizes, so you’re not forced into one massive lump of luggage. The Small holds 24 litres, the Medium 36 litres and the Large 47 litres. That gives you a decent spread, whether you’re nipping down for a few hours or loading up for a longer carp session with enough tackle to open a small shop.
Construction is the main story here. The Waterbox Carryall uses high-density, closed-cell EVA, which means it won’t soak up water like fabric can. The welded construction also avoids stitched seams, while reinforced moulded bases and contact points are there to take the knocks that come with barrows, bivvy floors and clumsy feet.
That waterproof build is more than a nice tick in the box. You can put the carryall down on damp ground without worrying about the contents sitting in a soggy bag. It also wipes clean without much drama, so a splash of spod mix, muddy water or a bit of fish slime doesn’t have to become a permanent feature.
The rigid square or rectangular profile is another proper bank-friendly touch. Unlike a soft holdall, it supports itself and stays upright when you’re rooting around inside. It’s also stackable, which helps keep your bivvy or barrow organised rather than turning into the usual tackle avalanche when the rods are off.
The moulded camouflage lid pulls double duty as well. Use it as a work tray for tying rigs, sorting hookbaits or keeping small bits together. On a longer stay, it can act as a compact bivvy table. That’s a dead handy feature when every spare surface is already occupied by bait tubs, alarms and a brew.
The size choice matters, though. The Small is the tidy one for compact tackle and short sessions. The Medium looks like the natural all-rounder, giving you useful capacity without stretching too far across the barrow. The Large is the serious option for anglers carrying more kit or setting up for several nights.
Handles are neoprene-wrapped for carrying comfort, and the attachment points accept the Subterfuge Universal Shoulder Strap. That gives you a little more flexibility when moving kit from the car park to the swim, although the rigid design still feels more at home on a barrow or in a structured luggage system than slung around all day.
It also plays nicely with Subterfuge Waterbox Pouches and selected Subterfuge luggage. That makes sense if you like your setup modular: pouches for smaller tackle, the carryall for the bigger bits, and everything stacked together rather than scattered across the swim.
There is a trade-off, naturally. A rigid waterproof box won’t squash into a tiny gap once it’s empty, and it won’t feel as featherlight or floppy as a fabric carryall. But if your priority is keeping gear dry, clean and organised, the Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Carryall is a very sensible bit of kit. Proper practical, not a load of fancy faff.

Our take
Why this carryall makes sense on the bank
The big draw is the combination of waterproof EVA and a rigid square profile. Your tackle stays protected, the bag stacks neatly in the barrow or bivvy, and the moulded lid doubles as a handy work tray. Less faff, less rummaging and fewer bits of kit getting covered in wet grass.
What you’re buying
A rigid, waterproof tackle box with carryall manners
The Waterbox Carryall is made from high-density, closed-cell EVA and uses welded construction rather than stitched seams. That gives it a waterproof, easy-clean body with plenty of structure. The redesigned lip and zip are intended to help keep water out, while the reinforced moulded base and contact points are aimed at the areas that get bashed most on the bank.
The moulded camo lid is more useful than a simple cover. It gives you a firm work tray for rigs, bait and terminal tackle, and can also work as a compact bivvy table. Neoprene-wrapped handles make carrying more comfortable, while the attachment points accept the Subterfuge Universal Shoulder Strap.
Worth knowing. The range is available in Small 24L, Medium 36L and Large 47L sizes. Small is T3480 at 27 × 30 × 30 cm, Medium is T3481 at 27 × 44 × 30 cm, and Large is T3482 at 27 × 58 × 30 cm.
Pick your size
Match the box to the session, mate
The Small is a tidy choice for a short evening, a margin session or anglers who carry compact tackle and don’t want a huge lump of luggage. It’s also useful when you’re trying to keep a barrow setup disciplined rather than filling every available corner.
The Medium is the easy recommendation for most anglers. It offers useful capacity for terminal tackle, accessories and session essentials without becoming awkwardly long. The Large is better for longer stays or anyone who carries more kit, especially when paired with Waterbox Pouches and compatible Subterfuge luggage.
Worth knowing. The rigid profile is brilliant for stacking and organisation, but it won’t squash down like fabric luggage. Leave a bit of room in your storage plan, especially if you’re loading a tight car boot.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
Is it genuinely waterproof? The EVA body, welded construction and redesigned lip and zip are all designed to resist water ingress. It’s a strong choice for wet swims and muddy conditions, while the wipe-clean exterior makes the aftermath much less of a faff.
Can you carry it over your shoulder? The carryall has attachment points for the Subterfuge Universal Shoulder Strap. That strap is an optional way to carry it; the standard neoprene-wrapped handles are built in.
Does it work with other Nash luggage? Yes, it’s compatible with Subterfuge Waterbox Pouches and selected Subterfuge luggage. That makes it handy as the main box in a modular setup, with smaller pouches keeping rigs and fiddly bits under control.
