Click here for the full “best fishing coolers” review: https://goo.gl/nUHHhP

In this video, Joe Simonds from Salt Strong discusses his “go to” cooler for every situation, including the pros and cons of each cooler.

The overall message is that NO COOLER is always the best (and we can say that because we don’t take cooler sponsors).

Coolers are just like fishing rods… you need multiple coolers and certain coolers are better for certain situations.

For instance, we keep a completely different cooler on our boat (to be used as a secondary platform/seat) than we do the day-to-day cooler that we use for quick trips, kayak and SUP fishing, etc.

Here are the top 5 coolers we are using this year (so far):

Igloo cooler
YETI cooler
RTIC soft cooler
Engel rod holder hard cooler
Tourit soft cooler

Regarding the “name brand,” the one thing we didn’t cover was the value of having a company that backs up their product with amazing customer service and long-term usage. We’ve been fortunate to not have many major issues with any cooler purchase, but if we did, having a company that stands behind their product and replaces defective parts is a big deal.

We’d love to hear your feedback on what cooler company does that best.

Let us know in the comments.
