Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers building a modular luggage system. The different sizes stack neatly and let you separate rigs, leads, small accessories and spares without one massive tackle dump.
- Anglers fishing through changeable UK weather. The sealed EVA design and waterproof zip give your smaller kit a proper layer of protection from rain and damp banks.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who only carry a handful of terminal bits. A basic soft pouch may do the job for less money if you don’t need waterproof protection or rigid storage.
- Anyone short on luggage space. The moulded shape holds its form, so it won’t compress down around awkward gaps in a rucksack or carryall.

Quick verdict
Verdict: proper handy tackle storage
The Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch is a smart bit of luggage for keeping smaller fishing kit dry, visible and nicely organised. Reinforced moulded EVA, sealed seams and a waterproof zip make it far more reassuring around wet banks than a standard fabric pouch.
Pick the size around your kit rather than simply going as big as possible. Small and Medium suit compact terminal tackle, while XL and XXL are better for bulky accessories or a whole session’s worth of odds and ends. A cracking option if you like a tidy carryall.

Reinforced moulded EVA, sealed seams, a waterproof zip and useful internal details give it a properly robust feel on paper.
The structured shape, translucent lid and rounded corners should make everyday storage and access smooth.
It won’t catch fish by itself, but quicker access to rigs and accessories can mean less faff when the swim comes alive.
Clear contents visibility, double zip pullers and multiple size options make it straightforward to organise.
The construction and modular compatibility are strong, though the pouch arrives empty and cheaper soft storage exists.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch
There’s nothing worse than needing one tiny bit of kit and having to empty half your carryall onto the wet grass. A rig ring vanishes. The bait stops get buried. Then the rain turns the whole lot into a soggy treasure hunt. The Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch is designed to put an end to that nonsense.
It’s a moulded EVA storage pouch made for the sort of smaller tackle and accessories you want kept dry, tidy and easy to find. Think rigs, spares, PVA bits, leads, tools, bait accessories or those odd little bank essentials that usually rattle around loose. It’s not flashy for the sake of it. It’s simply a proper bit of organisation.
The big choice is size. Nash offers Small, Medium, Large, XL and XXL, so you can keep things compact or build a bigger modular setup. The Small holds 1.2 litres, while the XXL stretches to 5.7 litres. That’s a decent spread, and it means you’re not forced into carrying a huge box for a few bits of terminal tackle.
The Small measures 8.5 × 12 × 12cm, making it the neat one for a few essentials. Medium is 8.5 × 19 × 12cm with a 2-litre capacity, and Large is 8.5 × 26 × 12cm with 2.6 litres inside. Those longer shapes look useful for rig wallets, tools and slim accessories where a square box wastes space.
Then you’ve got the deeper options. XL measures 8.5 × 26 × 19cm and holds 4.2 litres, while XXL measures 8.5 × 26 × 26cm and holds 5.7 litres. They’re better suited to bulkier kit or a larger collection of bits, although remember that the moulded shape stays put. You get protection and structure, not a bag that squashes into every spare gap.
That rigid EVA construction is one of the main reasons to choose this over a normal fabric pouch. It gives the contents some protection and helps the pouch stand open while you’re rummaging. The rounded internal corners are a nice touch too, as small items are less likely to hide in sharp little creases. Dead handy when the rods are off and you’re in a rush.
Keeping water out is another big part of the pitch. The design is fully waterproof, with sealed seams and a matte waterproof zip. No storage pouch should be treated like a bucket, obviously, but this is the sort of kit that makes sense for proper British weather. A damp morning, a wet bivvy floor or a splash from the margins shouldn’t ruin the bits inside.
The translucent lid is spot on for quick checks. You can see what’s in the pouch without opening it, which cuts down the faff when you’re changing tactics or tying up a fresh rig. Under that lid is an internal zipped mesh pocket, useful for separating tiny items that would otherwise disappear into the main compartment.
There are webbing grab handles on every size except Small, so the larger pouches are easier to lift from a carryall or move around the swim. They’re also designed to stack inside Waterbox Carryalls and fit compatible Subterfuge or Scope luggage. That makes the range particularly appealing if you’re already invested in Nash storage.
There is a catch, mind. These pouches arrive empty, so you’re buying the storage rather than a ready-made tackle system. If you’re skint and happy with a couple of basic bags, it may feel a bit fancy. But if a tidy, waterproof and modular setup matters, the Nash Subterfuge Waterbox Pouch is a cracking way to keep your bank life under control.

Our take
The angle: stop rummaging, start fishing
The real appeal here is organisation without loads of faff. The translucent lid lets you clock what’s inside before emptying the pouch all over your unhooking mat, while the rounded corners and wide shape should make those fiddly little bits easier to reach.
It’s not the cheapest way to chuck loose kit in a bag, and you’ll need to leave room in the budget for the contents. But for wet-weather storage, stacking and quick access, the Waterbox Pouch makes a lot of sense on the bank.
What you’re buying
A waterproof pouch that keeps its shape
The Waterbox Pouch uses reinforced moulded EVA, so it feels more like a compact storage case than a floppy fabric bag. Sealed seams and a matte waterproof zip help keep rain and splashes away from the contents, while the rigid build gives useful protection inside a busy carryall.
The translucent lid is the clever everyday feature. You can quickly identify the pouch contents without opening every zip on your luggage. There’s also a zipped mesh pocket beneath the lid for small items, and rounded internal corners make it easier to get into the edges.
Webbing grab handles are fitted to all sizes apart from Small. The pouches are designed to stack inside Waterbox Carryalls and compatible Subterfuge or Scope luggage, giving you a neat modular way to split up your kit.
Worth knowing. The pouches are supplied without contents. Choose the size around your actual tackle rather than buying the biggest one and carrying a load of empty air.
Best on the bank
For anglers who hate a tackle jumble
Small and Medium make most sense for compact terminal tackle, a few rig components or small accessories. Large is useful when you need extra length for tools, rig wallets or a wider selection of spares. The deeper XL and XXL sizes suit bulkier kit and larger modular luggage setups.
It’s a strong fit for carp anglers who like to separate kit by job. One pouch for rigs, one for PVA and leads, another for markers or bait tools. You’ll know where everything is, and the translucent lids should save a fair bit of rummaging during a bite-time change.
It’s less compelling if you carry very little or want storage that compresses into every awkward corner. The EVA shell keeps its form, which is brilliant for protection but not ideal when you’re squeezing luggage into a small day bag.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
They share the same 8.5cm height, but the length and depth change. Small is 8.5 × 12 × 12cm, Medium 8.5 × 19 × 12cm, Large 8.5 × 26 × 12cm, XL 8.5 × 26 × 19cm and XXL 8.5 × 26 × 26cm.
For a compact collection, Small or Medium should be the sensible starting point. Go Large if you want more length for tools and rig bits, or XL and XXL if you’re organising a bigger selection of bulky accessories.
Yes. The range is designed to stack inside Waterbox Carryalls and is compatible with Subterfuge and Scope luggage. That makes it a good building block for a modular carryall setup.
