Description
Overview
The Silver Fern Low, Weighted Tackle Bag sits low to the ground and does not shift easily, which is the point. At 28 kg, with sand in the core providing the weight, it gives tacklers something solid to hit, wrap and drive. It is part of the Silver Fern range of contact gear supplied to NZ clubs and schools.
It is made to order in blue or black, with other colours priced on application. The listed size is 800 × 450.
Key benefits
- Stays planted on impact thanks to a 28 kg sand-weighted core.
- Low profile keeps tackle height honest for wrap and drive work.
- Sits unheld on the ground, so players can repeat hits without a partner.
- Standard blue or black, other colours quoted on application.
Who it's for
Suits club and secondary school squads that want a heavy target for repeated low tackles and ruck-entry work. For full-height tackling with a holder, the Silver Fern Tackle Bag – 1.55m x 45cm is the taller option, and you can browse all tackle training gear to compare.
Coaches building a contact station can pair it with a contact suit from the same range.
Care, safety and set-up
The bag is manufactured after you place your order, so allow for the make time. Store it under cover and off wet ground between sessions. If you are outfitting a whole club, add it to a quote and request a quote for the full list.
