It goes without saying that 2020 has been a very strange year for everyone. As we reach the dog days of summer, people are looking for a way to enjoy the warmer months with relaxing activities that can be done at a social distance and preferably outside. Fishing offers that perfect opportunity to reconnect with nature and can easily be done alone, or with a friend fishing several metres away from you.

Fishing trip essentials for the journey
- Travall Guard
- Travall Divider
- Travall CargoMat
With a Travall vehicle-specific guard installed, you won’t have to worry about overpacking your boot. You’ll be able to fit in more gear more securely. The boot divider easily separates your waders and cooler from your fishing tackle, or, if you’ve got your dog along for the ride, keeps him away from the gear. The rubber boot mat is a must for any fisherman, as it protects your boot’s interior from wet gear, dirt, and paw prints. All three products are designed specifically for each make, year and model of vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit and making rattling barriers a thing of the past. Protect your vehicle from the rigours of hauling gear, so you can get on with the important business of relaxing and enjoying your fishing trip. No dog or item of fishing tackle gets left behind, everyone enjoys the journey.
Happy fishing!
Adding a vehicle-specific barrier such as the Travall Guard ensures that you can make use of every square centimetre of boot space.
A Travall Liner is a rubber boot mat that perfectly fits the boot’s interior. A raised lip ensures fluids and dirt stay on the mat and away from the lining of the boot.
A Travall Divider is a simple way to separate cargo in the boot. Keeps your dog comfortably positioned on one side and away from fish and fishing gear on the other.
