Frequently Asked Questions

What is Flag in a Bag?

Flag in a Bag® is a patented tangle-free boat flag mounting system designed to slide directly onto your boat's antenna. Unlike traditional boat flags that wrap around poles and antennas, our rotating mount spins freely 360°, allowing your flag to align naturally with the wind and airflow while underway.

How does Flag in a Bag prevent flag tangles?

Our patented rotating mount spins freely around your antenna as your boat moves through the air. This allows the flag to follow the wind instead of wrapping around the antenna, keeping it flying straight and visible at virtually any speed.

Will Flag in a Bag fit my boat?

Flag in a Bag is designed to fit most standard marine VHF antennas. We recommend checking your antenna diameter before ordering to ensure compatibility.

If you're unsure whether your antenna will work with our mounting system, contact us, and we'll be happy to help.

Do I need a separate flag pole or rod holder?

No. Flag in a Bag mounts directly to your existing antenna, eliminating the need for a separate flag pole, rod holder, or additional mounting hardware.

Can I purchase replacement flags?

Yes. We offer a variety of replacement flags designed specifically for use with the Flag in a Bag mounting system. Choose from American flags, state flags, dive flags, boating lifestyle flags, and more.

What size are your flags?

Our flags measure 12" x 18" and are professionally finished with brass grommets and double-sided sublimated polyester construction for long-lasting performance on the water.

Are your flags double-sided?

Yes. All Flag in a Bag flags feature double-sided sublimated printing, allowing the design to be visible from both sides while maintaining vibrant color and durability.

Are Flag in a Bag products made in the USA?

Yes. Our mounting systems and flags are proudly made in the USA.

Can I leave my Flag in a Bag mounted all season?

Absolutely. Flag in a Bag is designed for regular marine use and can remain installed throughout the boating season. For maximum longevity, we recommend periodically inspecting your equipment and storing flags indoors during extended off-season periods.

How do I install Flag in a Bag?

Installation takes only a few minutes:

  1. Slide the mount onto your boat's antenna.
  2. Secure the mount according to the included instructions.
  3. Attach your flag using the provided hardware.

No drilling or permanent modifications are required.

Can I use my own flag?

Flag in a Bag works best with flags designed specifically for our patented mounting system. While some custom applications may be possible, our replacement flags are engineered for optimal performance and durability.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes. Flag in a Bag gift cards are available and make a great gift for boat owners, anglers, sailors, and marine enthusiasts.

How quickly do orders ship?
