Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- RidgeMonkey Hunter 750 owners. It’s made to house the bait boat, giving you a dedicated and tidy way to carry it to the swim.
- Carp anglers who walk a fair distance to their spots. The backpack harness and lumbar padding spread the load better than carrying the boat by hand.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who don’t use a Hunter 750 bait boat. The dedicated design won’t offer much value if you need a general-purpose rucksack instead.
- Minimalist day-session anglers. If you’re travelling light and don’t need a bait boat, this is extra luggage rather than a useful upgrade.

Quick verdict
A cracking carry option for Hunter 750 owners
If you run the RidgeMonkey Hunter 750 bait boat, this rucksack makes a lot of sense. It gives the boat a dedicated home, proper padded carrying support and a hard-wearing base for those muddy trips to the lake.
It’s not a general-purpose session bag, and that’s the main thing to understand. But as a dedicated bait boat carrier that keeps the load protected and your hands free for rods, buckets and bits, it looks bob on.

The 1680D construction, PVC base and padded carry system point to solid, purposeful fishing luggage.
It should do its main job well by keeping the Hunter 750 contained and easier to transport.
It won’t improve a rig directly, but easier bait boat transport can get you fishing more efficiently and accurately.
Dedicated storage, zipped pockets, adjustable padding and a top handle keep the carry routine straightforward.
It offers useful specialist protection and carrying comfort, although the dedicated fit limits its wider usefulness.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the RidgeMonkey Hunter 750 Rucksack
Bait boats are proper useful bits of kit, especially when you’re fishing at range or trying to drop a rig and a bit of bait bang on the money. The only downside? They’re not exactly the easiest things to lug from the car park to the swim. That’s where the RidgeMonkey Hunter 750 Rucksack comes in.
Built specifically for the RidgeMonkey Hunter 750 bait boat, this is a dedicated carry solution rather than a general tackle bag with a fancy logo slapped on it. The main compartment is shaped around the boat, while the rest of the design is focused on making the walk to your spot a bit less of a palaver.
The bag measures 430 × 385 × 180 mm overall, with a main compartment measuring 415 × 280 × 155 mm. Those dimensions give the Hunter 750 its own snug home, helping keep the boat together with its essential bits rather than bouncing around loose in the back of the motor.
Construction comes from high-quality 1680D material, which is the sort of tough, heavy-duty fabric you want on fishing luggage. It needs to cope with car boots, gravel paths, wet grass and the odd cheeky scrape against a peg or bivvy bar. This is built for proper bank life, not sitting pretty in the tackle room.
The base is waterproof PVC and hard-wearing too. That’s a dead handy touch because bags spend plenty of time on questionable ground. Damp grass, muddy swims and puddles by the peg are all part of the game, so a robust base gives you a bit more confidence when you have to put the rucksack down.
Carrying comfort is another big part of the design. You get a four-point adjustable padded harness, along with padded lumbar support. That’s much more useful than simply having a carry handle when you’re walking any real distance, especially with a bait boat and its weight on your back.
The harness should also leave both hands free, which sounds obvious but makes a difference when you’re shifting rods, a bucket, mats and the rest of your gear. You can get from the car to the swim in fewer awkward juggling acts, and that means less chance of dropping something expensive in the mud. Nobody wants a bait boat doing a comedy roll down the bank.
There’s a top carry handle as well, so you’re not forced to wear it every time. It’s handy for lifting the bag into the car, moving it around the swim or grabbing it for a quick shuffle between spots. Three external zipped pockets add somewhere for smaller bait boat accessories and bits you don’t want loose in the main compartment.
That said, this is best viewed as dedicated Hunter 750 luggage. The main compartment is there for the boat, not your whole session loadout. You’ll still need your tackle bag, rig box and bait gear. For anglers who already use the Hunter 750 and regularly walk to their swims, though, it’s a tidy, sensible way to protect and carry the boat without a load of faff.

Our take
Why this bag matters on the bank
Bait boats are handy as anything, but they’re also an awkward lump to carry. The Hunter 750 Rucksack tackles that problem directly, giving you a backpack-style carry system rather than leaving you juggling the boat by a handle all the way round the lake.
The big win is less faff between the car and the swim. Once you’re clipped up and ready to get fishing, keeping the boat in a dedicated bag should make transport tidier and help protect it from knocks, wet ground and general bank-side abuse.
Closer look
A tough, dedicated home for the Hunter 750
The RidgeMonkey Hunter 750 Rucksack is built around one job: carrying the Hunter 750 bait boat neatly and securely. Its 1680D construction gives it a properly robust feel on paper, while the waterproof PVC base is ready for wet grass, mud and those slightly grim swim edges.
Inside, the dual-zipped main compartment provides the dedicated boat storage. Three external zipped pockets give you useful space for smaller accessories, so the bits you use around the boat don’t have to rattle around loose with the main load.
Worth knowing. This isn’t a full tackle rucksack. Think of it as protective transport for the Hunter 750, with a bit of extra pocket space. You’ll still want separate luggage for rigs, bait and general session kit.
Who it suits
Best for anglers who want less carrying faff
If your swim is a decent walk from the car, the padded four-point harness and lumbar support are the headline features. They let you carry the bait boat on your back while keeping your hands free for rods, a net, bucket or unhooking kit.
It also suits anglers who like their kit protected and organised. Rather than throwing the Hunter 750 into a barrow or carrying it by hand, you get a dedicated bag that keeps it contained between the car, the swim and the water’s edge.
Worth knowing. The fit is specific. If you don’t own the RidgeMonkey Hunter 750, this rucksack becomes a pretty niche bit of luggage rather than a versatile bank bag.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want cleared up
The bag’s overall dimensions are 430 × 385 × 180 mm, while the main compartment measures 415 × 280 × 155 mm. That’s the key space to consider when checking it against the Hunter 750 and any accessories you normally carry with the boat.
The material composition is 59% polyester, 36% polyethylene, 3% polyurethane and 2% PVC. The practical headline is the hard-wearing 1680D outer material and waterproof PVC base, both of which suit regular fishing use.
Worth knowing. Keep the zips closed and treat the bag as protective, weather-resistant luggage. The PVC base is waterproof, but the supplied details don’t describe the entire rucksack as a fully waterproof dry bag.
