Who makes an affordable tackle bag, with room to hold a respectable amount of stuff? I have seen some bags for around 100.00, and I just don't want to spend that kind of cash....

BassPro and Cabelas have a bunch of reasonably priced bags.

Here's mine:

Often on sale for $50.

lol, probably not what you had in mind , but i use either a 3 compartment dickies backpack ($7) or a 10" craftsman tool bag ($10 for the 10" and 12" combo) with plano boxes.

i keep plastics in separate plastic bags rather than more plano boxes.

i do the same as sqhertz but with a old L.L. bean bag, works great for shore fishing if you carry more then one rod and other things.

I have one of these and so does my friend. They're great. They hold a lot and you can carry as a backpack.

Those BPs Yellow waterproof bags work for me. The medium size will hold 4-6 Plano boxes depending on the size you use.

$21.58 each

X2. BEST BAG OUT THERE! Double strap (backpack) comes in handy when you're beating the banks!!

Cabela's Advanced Angler series if you're interested in a quality product.

Think outside the box.  Years ago, when I was a meat fishing bush hippie on a modest income, I went into the goodwill store one day.   I came across a monster sized womens purse, made out of some kind of nylon/canvas stuff.  It was extremely sturdy.  You could put a couple of bricks in it and knock down muggers with it.  It would hold 5 or 6 3600 boxes plus an amazing amount of loose stuff in its various zippered pockets.  I was a bank fisherman at the time, and it would hold more than I felt like carrying.

I think I paid a dollar for it.  When I moved out of town I traded it to a fellow meat fishing bush hippie for a shallow running shad rap.

This is getting away from  the point, which is to go to the goodwill store and see what they've got.

I'm a believer in the thrift store for some stuff. The photo below shows my "bank walking" rig - a big fanny pack that cost a whopping $1 at the thrift store. However, for my main tackle bag, I think I'd still prefer a purpose-built bag with lots of compartments sized to fit the typical fishin' gear...

I've been shopping for a new bag myself and looked at the Cabela's bags mentioned by burleytog. The BPS Stalker bag looks pretty good too. I'm sorta waiting for the bait monkey to take a break and leave me alone for a while so I can assess how much tackle I have and get get a bag big enough to haul it. I'll do that assessment right after I place a TW order later today ;D

I just found an old duffle bad downstairs that I think can hold 7 or 8 plano tackle bags.

BPS, Cabelas, and Gander Mountain all have good tackle bags. The one I got is from GM and is made by Flambeu. It holds 6 large boxes in the main compartment and 3 medium boxes on the sides. It also has a couple extra compartments for small stuff. I really like it but it's filling up fast. My son got his at Cabelas. It holds 8 large boxes in the main compartment. I guess the size doesn't matter, cuz we're gonna fill em up anyway. I paid $59 for mine on sale.
