Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers carrying a Vault C-Smart powerpack. It gives the powerpack, leads and charging kit a dedicated home, with cable access that should make topping up devices far less messy.
- Anglers using tablets, fishfinders or lighting on longer sessions. The protective shell and removable tablet case make it a tidy way to carry delicate electronics alongside a bivvy light and headtorch.
Maybe skip if
- Minimalist day-ticket anglers. If you only carry a phone, a couple of spare batteries and a headtorch, this is probably more case than you need.
- Anglers wanting general tackle storage. It’s built around tech, not floats, hooks, feeders, leads or boxes of end tackle. A normal tackle bag will be more flexible for that job.

Quick verdict
A smart home for your fishing tech
The GorillaBox Tech Fishing Case 370 is a cracking option if you carry a big powerpack, tablet, fishfinder and lighting kit to the bank. Its hard shell, soft lining and adjustable compartments keep expensive bits protected and easy to find.
It’s not a general tackle box, and it’s more specialist than a basic pouch. But if your session involves charging, screens and cables, it should cut a fair bit of faff. Proper useful kit for organised anglers, especially those running a Vault C-Smart setup.

The hard shell, soft lining, chunky zips and robust handle give it a reassuringly solid build for bank life.
Customisable compartments, cable access and the tablet section make the case well suited to organised tech storage.
It won’t catch fish itself, but keeping power, lighting and fish-finding kit ready can make longer or more technical sessions run smoother.
The dedicated layout and removable tablet case should reduce rummaging, especially once the compartments are set up properly.
It’s fair value for a specialist protective case, though anglers with very little tech may find a cheaper pouch does enough.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the RidgeMonkey Vault Tech Case
Modern fishing kit has got a bit clever, hasn’t it? One minute you’ve got a headtorch and a spare phone lead. Next thing there’s a powerpack, tablet, fishfinder, bivvy light and enough charging cables to wire up a small caravan. The RidgeMonkey GorillaBox Tech Fishing Case 370 is made to bring that lot under control.
This is the product also known as the Vault Tech Case in some conversations, but the checked model is the GorillaBox Tech Fishing Case 370, RM160. It’s a compact, hard-sided storage case aimed squarely at your electrical kit rather than your hooks, leads and bags of boilies.
The case measures roughly 290mm by 200mm by 70mm and offers around 3700ml of storage. That’s a useful footprint for a tackle bag, carryall or bivvy shelf. It shouldn’t swallow your whole setup, but it can keep the fiddly, expensive bits together instead of rattling around loose.
The outer shell is weather-resistant and properly rigid, which is exactly what you want around a tablet or powerpack. A soft-lined interior adds a bit of protection inside, helping reduce the chance of your gear getting scraped up when you’re moving between the car, swim and bivvy.
Inside, the compartments can be customised, so you’re not stuck with one big empty cavity or a layout that only works on paper. You can set it up around your own mix of chargers, adapters, cables and smaller tech. That’s useful because every angler’s cable collection somehow becomes completely out of hand.
The removable tablet case is another smart touch. It gives a tablet or compact fishfinder its own protected space, with the Deeper Pro mentioned as the sort of device it can suit. If you’re finding features, checking maps or keeping an eye on a swim, having that screen protected is proper reassuring.
RidgeMonkey has also designed the case around the Vault C-Smart 42150mAh powerpack. That’s the main reason to look at this rather than a generic electronics pouch. The powerpack can sit at the centre of the setup, with room around it for the leads and devices you actually rely on through a long session.
The integrated cable access points should prove especially handy in the bivvy. You can leave the powerpack and cables organised while routing a lead out to your phone, tablet or light. No more emptying the whole case just because your phone’s throwing a strop at bite-time.
There’s room for a RidgeMonkey Bivvy Lite and VRH headtorch as well, which gives the case a proper night-fishing angle. Keep the light, power source and charging gear together and you’ll know exactly where to reach when the rods are off at stupid o’clock.
Chunky double zips, a robust carry handle and the protective shell round things off nicely. The trade-off is that this is a dedicated case, not a universal tackle organiser. If your fishing is simple and you’re trying to stay light, it may feel like an extra bit of kit. If your bank setup is full of tech, though, it looks a bob-on way to bin the cable chaos.

Our take
The angle
This isn’t about storing hooks, leads or rigs. It’s a dedicated tech case for keeping the modern angler’s electrical gubbins together, protected and ready to go.
The big selling point is the way it brings a powerpack, tablet or fishfinder, bivvy light and headtorch into one portable package. That makes it especially appealing for carp and coarse anglers who use electronics through long sessions, night fishing or boat and feature-finding work.
A proper tech organiser
Everything in its place, mate
The GorillaBox Tech Fishing Case 370 is a compact hard case with a weather-resistant outer shell and soft-lined interior. That combination gives your electronics more protection than a floppy pouch, particularly when the case is being shifted between the car, barrow and bivvy.
The internal layout can be customised, so you can make space for a Vault C-Smart 42150mAh powerpack, charging leads, adapters and smaller accessories. The removable tablet case adds a separate home for a tablet or suitable fishfinder, while cable access points let you use the kit without unpacking everything.
A RidgeMonkey Bivvy Lite and VRH headtorch can also fit inside. That makes the case more than just a powerbank holder; it can become the central charging and lighting station for a night on the bank. The chunky double zips and carry handle are simple touches, but exactly the sort of touches you want when your hands are full.
Worth knowing. The case is weather-resistant, not a licence to leave your electronics out in a downpour. Keep it under the shelter or in a dry area of the bivvy, and you’ll get much more from the protective shell.
Built for modern sessions
Best when your fishing has a few gadgets
This is aimed at anglers who carry more than a phone and a pair of batteries. If your session includes a large powerpack, tablet, fishfinder, bivvy light and headtorch, the case gives all that kit a clear home. It should also make packing easier because you can lift one organised case rather than hunting through three different bags.
Carp anglers running long sessions will get the most obvious benefit. Your powerpack can stay in the case while cables feed out to devices, and the soft-lined compartments help keep delicate kit away from reels, banksticks and other hard tackle. It’ll suit boat work, feature-finding and night fishing particularly well.
For a short coarse session with a float rod and minimal luggage, it’s less essential. A small pouch might do the job without taking up as much room. The same goes for anglers who don’t use a tablet, fishfinder or sizeable powerpack; there’s no point buying a tech command centre when you’ve only got one charging lead.
Worth knowing. Set the compartments up before you hit the bank. Put the powerpack where its cable ports are easy to reach, keep the tablet separate from loose adapters and leave a small section for the bits you always forget, like spare charging leads.
The useful stuff
A few straight answers
The checked model is the RidgeMonkey GorillaBox Tech Fishing Case 370, also referred to in the supplied brief as the Vault Tech Case. Its RM160 model code and 3700ml capacity point to the same dedicated tech-storage design, rather than a general-purpose tackle box.
The approximate 290mm by 200mm by 70mm dimensions make it reasonably compact, but the shallow depth means you’ll want to think about what you’re carrying. It’s better for a powerpack, tablet, lights and cables than for bulky mains-style accessories or a load of unrelated tackle.
Used sensibly, it should make a session feel more organised. Keep the case dry, use the adjustable compartments properly and don’t overstuff the zips. That way your tech stays protected, your cables remain findable and you’re not rummaging about when a bite-time job needs doing.
Worth knowing. The product pages didn’t list a case weight, so don’t buy it expecting a featherweight pouch. The big win here is protection and organisation, not shaving every last gram from your loadout.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Hard outer shell gives your tech a decent layer of protection in the bivvy or tackle bag.
- Customisable compartments make it easier to keep chargers, cables and accessories under control.
- Designed around RidgeMonkey’s Vault powerpack, with room for a tablet, light and headtorch too.
- Cable access points let you charge or run devices without completely unpacking the case.
- Chunky double zips and a proper carry handle make it easy to transport.
Worth knowing
- It’s a specialist storage case, so it won’t replace a normal tackle box or carry much loose tackle.
- The 70mm depth may feel limiting if you want to cram in chunky accessories or several large devices.
- A dedicated tech case is harder to justify if your fishing setup is mostly rods, reels and simple alarms.

What is the RidgeMonkey GorillaBox Tech Fishing Case 370 designed to hold?
It’s made for fishing electronics and power accessories. The layout is designed to accommodate a Vault C-Smart 42150mAh powerpack, while also making room for a Bivvy Lite, VRH headtorch, tablet and suitable fishfinder such as the Deeper Pro.
02Can you charge devices without taking everything out?
Can you charge devices without taking everything out?
Yes. Integrated cable access points let you route charging leads while the kit stays inside the case. That’s dead handy in a bivvy, though you’ll still want to keep the case somewhere dry and sensible rather than sat in a puddle.
03Is it waterproof?
Is it waterproof?
The case has a weather-resistant hard outer shell, which helps against knocks and everyday damp. Treat it as weather-resistant rather than a fully waterproof dry bag, and keep it sheltered during proper rain or accidental dunkings.
