The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The KastKing KarryAll KastMate is a water-resistant tackle backpack built from Oxford fabric, weighing 0.83 kilograms in a medium size and black colorway. It ships as a single-piece unit at $39.98, positioning it above the Allen bag at $23.80 and the Allnice bag at $25.99, but below nothing else in this set on price alone.
What separates it from the pack is the rating. At 4.8 stars across 216 reviews, it beats the Allen (4.6 stars, 830 reviews), Allnice (4.5 stars, 6,400 reviews), and Kylebooker (4.5 stars, 1,600 reviews) bags on pure star average, even though those competitors carry far more total reviews. Bought last month sits at 500+, which is a healthy demand signal for a bag priced under $40.
Oxford fabric is a durable, tightly woven synthetic commonly used in bags meant to shrug off wet gear and occasional scuffs against a boat deck or truck bed, so the water-resistant claim lines up with the material choice. At 0.83 kilograms, it is heavier than the ultralight Allen bag but still light enough to carry loaded without strain. For anglers comparing tackle bags on a spec sheet rather than marketing copy, this one earns its price with a rating that outpaces every alternative listed here.

Performance notes
Oxford fabric is a heavier, ripstop-style synthetic that resists water absorption better than plain polyester, which explains why this bag carries a water-resistant label while some competitors in this group do not. At 0.83 kilograms empty, it sits in the middle of the weight range for tackle bags this size, light enough for a shoreline walk but substantial enough to suggest reinforced seams and structure. The medium sizing suggests it is built for a moderate tackle load rather than an all-day multi-rod expedition pack. Buyers should read the medium size classification against their own tackle volume before assuming it matches a larger competing bag. The single black colorway limits choice, but it also simplifies the buying decision for anyone who does not have strong color preferences for gear that mostly lives in a boat compartment or truck bed anyway.
What buyers say
A 4.8-star average across 216 reviews is a strong signal on its own, but the size of the review pool matters for context. Competitors like the Allnice bag carry 6,400 reviews at 4.5 stars and the Kylebooker bag carries 1,600 at the same 4.5, meaning those ratings have absorbed far more buyer experiences while still landing lower. A smaller pool at a higher average can mean either a newer listing still building volume or a product that satisfies nearly everyone who buys it. The 500+ bought last month figure suggests this is not a stagnant listing, it is actively moving units, which supports reading the 4.8-star figure as a genuine current pattern rather than an early-review fluke.

Frequently asked questions
Is the KastKing KarryAll KastMate backpack worth the extra cost over cheaper tackle bags?
At $39.98 it costs more than the Allen ($23.80) and Allnice ($25.99) bags, but it also carries the highest rating of the group at 4.8 stars. For buyers who weigh rating over raw review count, the price premium tracks with the quality signal in the data.
How much tackle can the medium size hold?
The listing specifies a medium size at 0.83 kilograms empty weight, which suggests moderate capacity rather than an oversized multi-day pack. Anglers with large tackle collections should compare this sizing against their existing storage before assuming it matches bigger competing bags.
Does the Oxford fabric actually resist water?
Oxford is a densely woven synthetic material widely used in gear designed to handle splashes and damp conditions, and the listing markets this bag as water-resistant on that basis. It is not a waterproof submersion-rated fabric, just a durable, moisture-resistant weave.
