Corn-Filled Cornhole Bags

These are your classic cornhole bags. These bags are the original bags the game of cornhole was played with. If you are looking for a value or bargain deal these cornhole accessories are probably your best option on the market.

These bags have a corn-fill, and are the reason the game was originally named “cornhole” when it was created in the Cincinnati/Kentucky area. The main material used for the bag is a duck cloth. This duck cloth is usually 10 ounces but this can sometimes range. These are the default bags that are often sold when you purchase a set of cornhole boards.

The corn-filled cornhole bags provide an optimal slide that can be convenient for backyard games and the occasional cornhole player.
