ArctiCreeL - The Original, since 1940

The original ArctiCreel has been keeping catches fresh since 1940. Patented in 1947 (U.S. Patent No. 2,555,128), it was carried by Orvis and L.L. Bean for decades and remains the most trusted Belgian linen fishing creel in the world. We still make it the same way today, in Denver, Colorado.

It works on a principle as old as canvas itself: evaporation. Wet the Belgian linen, and as water evaporates from the exterior, the interior stays cool — no ice needed, no insulated pack required. Your catch stays fresh, your load stays light, and you stay focused on fishing.

Why the ArctiCreel

• Evaporative cooling keeps catch fresh without ice
• Lighter than cooler-based alternatives
• Belgian linen construction — naturally antimicrobial, durable, packable
• Heavy-duty metal snap closure
• Webbing handle and optional shoulder strap
• Cut and sewn by hand in Denver, Colorado
