Greetings all,
Debated whether to put this in the tackle section or here but wanted it focused on being used with a tube so....
Having just returned to fishing and getting into float tubing, I am discovering that I need an easy method/system to move gear back and forth between tube and Shore/Vest use.
I like the variety of plastic boxes that fit in the tube pockets as well as the vest pockets making transfer easy.
What I need is a bag or backpack system to store and transport them in.
Looking to get suggestions with the following criteria:
1. Must be able to sling it over a shoulder or otherwise have a carrying strap. The traditional "Tackle Box" w/top handle just is not cutting it anymore.
2. Must easily accomodate the 4x7in. boxes from the float tube.
3. Be economical (of course!) If this was not a criteria I could buy multiples of everything and never need to switch, right? Also, I am still new enough to it that I do not need one of the $200+ "tackle systems".
Yes, I am well aware that a basic Jansport backpack fits the bill here and that may be the answer however I see some soft tackle bags out there that might be nice as well.
Your recommendations? What are you using?
Thanks,
