Suspendingjerk Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Looking for a good backpack for my tackle for this year's bank fishing. I am interested in this one. www.cabelas.com/product/Wild-Riverreg-Multi-Tackle-Backpack/1937606.uts?No=0&destination=%2Fcategory%2FTackle-Bags%2F104619780.uts But was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. Dont want to spend more than a hundred bucks. Thanks Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 TW has their backpack on sale now. Think it's about the $50 mark and looks really well put together in terms of storage. 3 Quote

Thanks for the reply.. I checked those out but was unimpressed with the reviews.. One guy said it only lasted him a year, and that was fishing one day a week. I work swing shifts so I frequently hit a hole or two in the mornings I get off.. So usually more than one day a week. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 Well BPS has a couple, but they are only available for backorder right now. Finding a good tackle bag can be a pain, especially one that lasts . 1 Quote
Suspendingjerk Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Well BPS has a couple, but they are only available for backorder right now. Finding a good tackle bag can be a pain, especially one that lasts . It seems the choices are endless. I posted a link to a cheaper wild river bag, and all the more expensive one have great reviews.. One thing I need is one that won't hurt your back.. At a couple holes I fish I have to walk a pretty good distance to get to my favorite spots. Quote
wytstang Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I just use a regular back pack and use plano boxes to hold most of my stuff. For the price of what some of these tackle bags go for you could get a really rugged backpack off of Amazon. I have a Black Hawk back pack my ex gave me (Airforce gave to her) that I use that is tough as nails. They do cost but are made to last outdoors in any condition. 1 Quote
Suspendingjerk Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Ok ok ok I *might* spend more than a hundred bucks on one.. Tackle monkey on my back on this one... Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 I have a waiste pack that fit 4 3600 boxes, had it 2 years, have sowed it up a couple times (30lb power pro) and still going since I can't find one like it again. I'd use a backpack but the waiste pack lets me carry 3 rods hands free as I can shove 2 of them between the pack and my back and they are out of the way. Oh, and OKUMA has on on TW as well for about $60. Quote
wytstang Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Mine is similar to this one http://www.amazon.com/BlackHawk-3-Day-Assault-Pack-Coyote/dp/B000Q9GLLW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418397360&sr=8-4&keywords=blackhawk+backpack Quote

I currently use a lands end single strap around the shoulder for my bank adventures. It just isn't very functional. I can fit three boxes of Plano(sorry don't know the size) organizers in it but it isn't very comfortable..... And dammit I need to. Justify a new bag to my wife.... Haha Quote
Suspendingjerk Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 About to settle for this one. www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Advanced-Anglers8482-Backpack/1546939.uts?No=0&destination=%2Fcategory%2FTackle-Bags%2F104619780.uts Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 Having been a bank beater for a long time, and having fished while standing in the river more often than not before my kayak I highly recommend a sling-style pack if you can deal with that style of carry. You can flip it around and get at anything in the bag without actually taking it off or dumping all your stuff out I find it very intuitive and easy to use and I really enjoy not having to put it down at all. I believe DSG has the Mossy Oak one I've been lusting for- Looks like it's got it all unless you're trying to bring 40lbs of tackle or something. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 Spider wire backpack u can get them online and Dicks Sporting Goods has them too. It's perfect has glasses holder, two side zipper pockets, space for tackle boxes, space for bags of soft plastics, another space where you can put things. Has 2 Rod holders one on each side. Perfect bag Go check it out 1 Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Last year I got one of those spider wire back packs AK-Jax is talking about, it is starting its second season with no problems. I tend to over stuff it, but when its loaded just right its not bad. I have been looking at those sling style ones and tried a couple on at dicks last night and thought the abu Garcia one was the best. I don't know about yall but I don't care for the "rod holder" side strap its an accident waiting to happen. Quote

Super User AK-Jax86 Posted December 13, 2014 Super User Posted December 13, 2014 My brother in-law has a spider wire backpack and it works well. I was impressed. Yea I have one and love it. Even keeps your drink cold for a good portion of a hot FL day Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 The tackle warehouse pack might not be the most well-made but I really like the layout. Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 The worm binders are a nice touch. Really great feature very handy for storing plastics. Especially at the $50 sale price I'd say go for the TW pack its hard to beat IMO. Quote
wytstang Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Here are some pics of my Black Hawk bag. Back cushion Plenty of back cushion Thick shoulder padding 3-3500, 1-3600, 1 Deep 3700, 1 BPS about the same size as a 3600 Plenty of room Also a 3rd pocket that holds bags of plastics baits. 2 Quote
Matthew2000 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I use a victorinanox or however you spell it van fit like 5-6 3700 boxs and all my soft plastics. Had 3 years not even a rip. And I used it for school for 2 years Quote
