Best bow storage bag for a 390

What are you using for bow storage. An internet search does not bring up many options. I fitted bag would be a neater option to a pile of dry bags strapped in place.

What are you using please?

Big dry bag - stuff it in, clip it on, carry it out. Easy.

I use the Excel bow bag as sold for the 390. It’s ok, nothing special. When it dies, I’ll use it as a pattern for my local “bag man” and add my own improvements. I also have a selection of the cheapo Aldi dry bags that appear every now & then. These are great VFM & work well for odds & sods.

Had a superb bag on my yam 380, fitted perfectly and designed for the job - came with it but I suspect you can get them aftersales.

We’ve found the most practical option for us on our sibs has been flexi bucket clipped in the bow for anchor, chain, warp etc. and a selection of cheap Aldi dry bags for all the kit. Dry bags generally up front but can also be positioned around boat for weight distribution if required.
