Delivery & Shipping

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free domestic shipping on most orders over $150 subtotal. This excludes oversized and bulky items such as rods, blanks, gaffs, some tackle boxes, lobster nets, landing nets and other large items. Any 1 piece rod over 7'10" in length often incurs the biggest oversize fees charged by domestic shipping companies although we do have lower rates via other carriers on the West Coast. Any additional shipping fees will be automatically calculated at checkout before any billing is done.

What countries do you ship to?

We currently ship products within the US and to almost every country in the world, covering all available destination via UPS and DHL. International shipping times depend on the products and destination. Shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout, for most countries we also collect Duties and Taxes and prepay them so you do not have to deal with the carrier or customs.

How long will it take to get my order?

Standard shipping can take 3-8 business days depending on location and order volume. If you have requested spooling on your reel or rigging on your lures then it could take an additional day or two. Next day & 2 day shipping is available on most domestic orders (for an additional charge). Orders placed after 12pm Pacific Standard Time will be processed the next business day.

What carriers do you ship with?

We work with UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, GLS and DHL. When your order qualifies for free shipping or has a rod that qualifies for discounted shipping we reserve the right to choose which carrier it is sent with, otherwise you can pick the service you want. UPS Ground ranges from 1 to 7 day delivery, USPS Priority Mail is typically 1-3 days but is not a guaranteed express service, and USPS Ground Advantage takes roughly 3-7 business days. Longer rods are generally sent via GLS unless otherwise specified, this service ranges from 1 - 10 days.

Prop 65 Warning ⚠

An ice chest takes up deck space you would rather fish from. A Reliable insulated kill bag does the same job with soft sides: lay it on the deck or the swim step, add ice, load the catch and zip it shut. At the end of the day it rinses out and drains. Reliable Fishing Products is based in Mission Viejo, just up the road from our Huntington Beach shop.

The current bags are sealed. Reliable's newest production is sealed construction, so meltwater and fish blood stay inside the bag until you open the drain plug instead of leaking out onto the deck.

Construction

The shell is heavy-duty 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester over 1/2" dense closed-cell foam, the insulation that holds your ice and keeps fish cold on the hottest days. The thread is UV and mildew resistant, the zipper is a non-corrosive YKK, and a drain plug in a bottom corner lets you rinse and empty the bag after the trip.

Every size has a 12" gusseted bottom. It sits flat and opens up as the bag fills, so it holds fish better and sits more stable than a flat envelope-style bag. That wide base is the reason we have always preferred Reliable's design.

Picking a Size

The first number is the bag's height and the second is its length along the zipper, so the 42 x 90 is a 90" bag that stands 42" tall. Capacities are Reliable's ice-chest equivalents. The 30 x 72, 30 x 90 and 42 x 90 add four carry handles.

Size Approx. Capacity Reliable Edition
18 x 36" 50 qt Compact
20 x 48" 85 qt Salmon
20 x 60" 110 qt Wahoo
20 x 72" 140 qt King Mackerel
24 x 60" 150 qt White Seabass
28 x 48" 140 qt Yellowtail
30 x 60" 205 qt Mahi
30 x 72" 240 qt Offshore
30 x 90" 340 qt Big Tuna
42 x 90" 475 qt Cow Tuna

The 42 x 90 Cow Tuna bag is the biggest in the line. Reliable developed it with its pro team to hold two 250 lb bluefin with enough ice to keep them cold for 24 hours.

Our founder has used a smaller Reliable bag in place of an ice chest on San Diego long-range trips: it stows easily in the truck while you are at sea, then gets iced down at the dock for the drive home.
