About Buck’s Bags
Buck’s Bags, Inc. has been manufacturing fishing craft since the early ’80s. The company started with float tubes, and then moved into simple pontoon boats that offered an effective alternative to conventional models. Over the years, the lineup has evolved into the most effective, versatile, and well-constructed batch of fishing boats on the market. All of Bucks’ Bags’ pontoon boats feature crafted stainless-steel frames that are stronger and more corrosion-resistant than other frame types. The company’s rotary-welded pontoons are also designed to hold up to heavy use and perform at the highest level in all types of water conditions. And because the bladders are 100-percent polyurethane, they won’t break down like other types of bladders. The company also sells a variety of related products, including bags, chest packs, and other accessories.
