Tackle Bag

[Zeeter]

I have this great tackle bag. It's a BPS Extreme President 360 that I got back in around 2004 or so. What I like about it is that on one side I unzip it and have access to 4 360 boxes. On the other side I unzip it and have access to a "binder" of sealable plastic envelopes to hold my soft baits. Of course there are other compartments for holding various items, and even some of the compartments have compartments.

 

Unfortunately, this is almost 13 years old and went unused for several years while I took a break from fishing. Many of the zippers no longer work, the zipper seams are frayed, the plastic envelop attachments are beginning to rust, and several other issues. 

 

So, I want to get a new one, but they don't make the President model anymore. Does anyone have any thoughts on similar models? I really like the plastic envelope feature in this one, but cannot find it in any other tackle bag.

Tackle warehouse has a great selection of back pack style bags.

I bought a Spiderwire backpack in '11 and it's still going strong. Holds more than I need in MOST cases.  It has two integrated rod holders, holds 4 3500s, and whatever you can stuff in the top compartment.

 

I don't believe it's made here in the states, but it's well built.

I have the BPS Stalker backpack and love it.They are on sale for like 30$ right now.Holds 4 360 boxes in the bottom and i had like 40 bags of soft plastics in the cooler part.Enough space in the side compartments for extra reels and many other things.

Right. I'm looking for one that has the plastic bag envelopes like the President series I have now. Apparently they don't make it anymore.

A buddie of mine just got the flambeau a81 for $38.00 they are regularly $100 at field and stream and every where else for that kinda money you could just buy a binder and still come in way under full retail. Really nice bag too

I bought the large last year when I was starting to get into fishing again. 6 of the 3600's seemed like a ton of room....fast forward 10 months I have 18 boxes full and more in the mail   should have went with a bag to hold 3700 series boxes. Also, there isn't much room for plastics in the compartments in the large either. 

 

I was looking at the new Bass Mafia bag but couldn't find a review about it. Also not sure if I want to drop $300 on a tackle bag and new boxes.

That's a monster! I have a Magnum that's 5-6 yrs old, I use it for a duffel bag now though.

I have a bps xps stalker front load. I carry 8 3700's 1 3600 and to smaller planos plus culling equipment, leader material, and tools. I back boat as a co-angler so I carry a lot never knowing what my boater will want to do. Bag has held up great for 5 years now and I'm rough as hell on it.

I have this Gander Mountain bag. It holds 6 or 7 of the 3700 boxes in the large compartment with big pockets on each side. It really gets way to heavy. I just use it for the boat mainly. It doesn't have any of the binders as you described in the BPS Extreme President 360. But if you only used like 4 or 5 of the large boxes it easily can hold 2 of the small BPS worm binders or maybe one large in there. I just have the small BPS worm binder and I have carried it this way before.

I just got the cabelas bag and I love it.  Had a Plano bag before, but like the Cabelas series a lot.  Here is what I have.  I got the magnum size.
