This sponge does exactly what you need it to do. It sucks up a serious amount of water. I use it mostly to sop up residual water in my kayak cockpit.

Just the right size and shape for drying up those last puddles that the bilge pump can't flush out.

Im here to tell ya, this sponge is amazing when needing to rid a area of water quickly... I put it to use recently. Was fishing on the outskirts of a mile wide lake. the find and chop came up, i had to cross the water in the kayak. When I got back to the ramp and pulled the kayak up on the trailer, i opened the back hatch, and there must have been 5 gallons of water inside. I had left my nrs sponge in the belge and went to work getting the water out. When squeezing shut and letting open, this sponge really inhales the water. i had it patted dry in a short time. I even came home and told my wife about how great it worked and wrote about it on one of my kayak brands fb pages. Very impressed with something as simple as a good sponge!!!

It's a sponge. Not sure there is much to review here. It soaks up water.

Great to have in the raft so you can quickly rinse the sand and mud off after a stop or fish fluids after a nice catch.

The printed letters are rigid, scratchy. I'm worried about leaving scratch marks on boat by using the sponge.

The NRS Deluxe Boat Sponge works perfectly and quickly picks up water, just as it should.

I use it for keeping the water under control in my pack boat. I just toss it on the floor between my legs, and pick it up from time to time to wring it out.

I like having the two different sides to clean with. It is much nice than just a cloth, that I was using prior. I also like having the ability to dry the water out with the same product.

The sponge and the cloth cover work great. The elastic string tends to lose all elasticity with time.

Really absorbs the water. The outside covering protects the sponge.

Great idea for getting water out of your kayak. Right down to the last drop!

Nice sponge. Really gets all the water with the fleece cover. However the NRS printed on the sponge was cracked when it was delivered so I had a torn cover the day I got it, I would have returned it but it seems this is most likely a common problem.

I have used these for 9 years. Once in a while I will try a different one-then always go back to the NRS ones.

I use this sponge for bailing canoes and kayaks. I've never found the perfect sponge but of all I have tried, this one performs the best. I've been paddling for 51 years and have tried everything on the market (as far as I know) to sop up water in the bottom of a paddle craft. There seems to be 2 types: those that are very durable but pick up very little water, and those that pick up water very well but don't last any time. The NRS bailing sponge seems to be the best compromise that I have seen. It will pick up water well and quickly and still last a few seasons of paddling. I'm using them exclusively now but still buying everything on the shelf too.

Like the rugged cover and elastic loop. Holds more water than my peanut shaped car sponge.

This is the best boat sponge there is. I had one for two years and loved everything about it before I lost it in an off-shore capsize. I just bought two more. Before I could get the new ones, I had to borrow other paddlers' sponges, so I had a chance to try quite a few others. This one is best because it has a tough outer cover. So you can wring the sponge to get more water out without damaging the sponge. The tough cover constricts when you wring it to add a uniform twisting pressure to the entire sponge, so it protects the sponge from being twisted apart. The durable cover is slightly textured or waffled, so it picks up sand and other grit from the boat bottom and easily releases all the grit when you want to get it off the sponge. Also, it has a handy loop that allows you to clip it to the boat (if you use it) to prevent the sponge getting lost. I'm convinced this sponge holds more water (and retains it till squeezed) than any other I've tried. All around, it's worth the extra money and it's the only one to have.
