I have the Imax one and the Anyfish Anywhere one. Seem to be spot on. The imax one is probably better because you can ice pack in a seperate compartment underneath where the bait is stored. The zips seem to be ok on the,, The Anyfish Anywhere is more for the worm baits.

I have the Ian Golds rigid cooler bag that came with the large back pack.

Its a great piece of kit and keeps bait in good condition through out a session and has room for a few sandwiches too.

if keeping it completely frozen is what you want, maybe its worth looking at a vacuum flask type solution?

Managing to keep a cool bag for a whole year is an achievement :lol:

I use anything I can get my hands on as there are usually freebies around with friends and family. I find the thermos bags are the best as they have the best insulation and are sturdy. I don`t use branded cool bags as I find with most fishing related stuff there marked up proce wise as they are for fishing.

I for one would never put a sandwich in one of my cool bags as they stink to high heaven. I throw cut up mack back in as they would defrost to quickly. IMO Frozen mack should be slushy when cut as it goes off to quickly and fresh mack dries out. The juices off squid give a lovely smell after a few days. For sand eel I use a thermos flask defrosting one at a time.
