The Venture Fishing Bag is a purpose-built gear solution designed for serious anglers who demand both mobility and smart storage on the water. Developed in collaboration with a startup client targeting the outdoor sports market, Oxta Design led the complete product development process—combining rugged functionality, lightweight design, and modular features for maximum versatility in the wild.

Whether used on the boat, shoreline, or deep in the bush, Venture delivers the carry system modern anglers have been waiting for.
With outdoor enthusiasts seeking smarter, more organised carry systems, our client envisioned a multi-functional fishing bag that adapts to changing conditions—without sacrificing performance or comfort. The Venture Fishing Bag had to carry tackle boxes, tools, water bottles, and even soft bait—while remaining compact enough for hands-free movement.

From material selection to compartment layout, our job was to create a design that balanced rugged outdoor durability with intuitive gear access—essential for long fishing sessions and changing environments.
Designing a multi-use fishing backpack involves a unique set of challenges, particularly when it comes to balancing weight, weather protection, and modular storage.
Water Resistance vs. Breathability: Selecting materials that resist moisture while allowing airflow and comfort during long hours of wear.
Modular Storage Needs: Developing customizable compartments that can hold various gear types—tackle trays, reels, pliers, bait, line—without clutter or shifting.
Ergonomic Load Distribution: Engineering strap systems, back support, and handles for comfort whether worn, carried, or stowed on a boat.
Material Toughness: Sourcing UV-resistant fabrics, corrosion-proof zips, and marine-safe components for prolonged outdoor use.
Manufacturing Feasibility: Ensuring all features—like internal frames, webbing loops, and waterproof base layers—could be reliably manufactured at scale.
The goal was to create a premium, performance-ready fishing bag that could meet the needs of casual weekend anglers and seasoned fishers alike. Our key objectives were:
Design a modular gear system with configurable storage for tackle boxes, tools, drinks, and electronics.
Engineer lightweight construction using abrasion-resistant fabrics like ripstop nylon or TPU-coated polyester.
Create fast-access compartments for critical items like pliers, lures, or knives—without unpacking the whole bag.
Ensure all-day comfort through adjustable straps, breathable back padding, and load-stabilising design.
Deliver complete production documentation, including CAD models, BOMs, and factory-ready tech packs.
The final Venture Fishing Bag is a durable, thoughtfully organised pack that supports real-world fishing needs—from inland rivers to coastal adventures.
