Thanks for the information! yeah I also read that the pelicans are kind of cheap. I have heard that people get water in the inside of theirs from the midline where both the top and bottom come together.

Nobody has any thoughts about these?

I am looking into kayak fishing. I am not looking to spend a ton of money and I found two that look perfect for $399. I read online that the Ascend D10T does not track well and they recommend getting the 12 foot one, but I don’t want to spend the extra money. I have read that the perception sport access kayak tracks pretty well since it is 11.5 feet long. I will be using the kayak in lakes, and in the backwaters of the Mississippi river. Another kayak I just found was a pelican 120x angler kayak.

Thanks, Lucas

I don’t think I have spent more than $15 on a lure and I catch plenty of fish on them. I get mad when I lose a $5-$8 crank bait, but I guess its part of the sport.

I ended up going with the bass pro bag. it was $29 with free shipping. I couldn’t turn the deal down.

Very true. you do have a good point. But since I travel from home to college and back. and then put the stuff in the boat, I feel like a backpack would be very handy for me.

Awesome! I’m really leaning toward the bass pro bag.

These bags look nice, but I think there are just to many pockets on these things haha. I probably wouldn’t fill all of them.

The academy H20 bag is now on clearance for $39.99

I would have to agree. A color option would be great for this bag as well! and for the price I don’t think you can beat it.

The reason why I want a backpack is because it can hold a lot of bait, and i wouldn’t have to carry two different tackle bags. I usually put my bag down when I’m actually fishing. I won’t fish with it on my back. I will give that bag a look

What pocket do you store your tools in? scale, knife, etc?

thanks for the reply. this is a tough choice because the bass pro one is cheaper. and the academy one come with 4 tackle boxes and i will be primarily using the cooler second to hold more tools or baits. im glad you like your bag! how many bags of soft plastics can you fit in the top section and the cooler part? i really like this one and the line spooler thing looks like a nice feature. also how are the utility boxes that come with the bag? Thanks for the reply! I will have to look at this bag more as well! the only downfall is the price. Thank you everyone for the replies! I would love to hear more!

Hello all, I hope you are all having a great day! the weather is warming up here in Iowa (about 40 degrees) so hopefully that means spring is right around the corner! I have been look at two different tackle backpacks and was wondering if any of you have had experience with them and what your thoughts were. With whatever bag I get, I plan on putting 4 boxes in the bottom compartment and then filling the top compartment with all my soft plastic bags. The first bag is the Bass pro shops extreme qualifier 360. This bag is $29.99 some of the specs of this tackle bag: Backpack design for easier transport and organization of tackle Padded back Backpack shoulder straps Four pockets Rod tube straps Versatile zip-off bottom section with shoulder strap Holds up to ten 360 utility boxes (not included) The next bag is a H20 xpress bag made by academy sports. The price is $49.99 some of the specs on this bag is: This bag is unique because it has a little cooler attached onto it. I think this spot would be perfect for keeping soft plastic bags cool in the hot summer days. Also This bag come with 4 tackle boxes. - Made from 840-denier polyester for durability and water resistance - 4 tackle cases included for plenty of storage options - Shoulder straps and a carry handle for easy carrying - 6-can zip-off cooler lets you bring beverages and snacks Thank you for viewing and for the comments!
