For me I use the *** backpack because i'm shore only, if you're organized like I am, you can fit more than you'll ever need into it, plus it has some small features that are really cool. Its pretty cheap too, considering what shemano wants for their similar product.

I withdraw my earlier sort-of wishing I hadn't ordered the BPS Extreme Qualifier 370 bag. Came today (and thank you delivery guy for leaving it wedging my storm door open during the worst winter storm of the year) and it is truly the bee's knees. Might be small for some of you extreme guys (it only holds five or six 370s), but it's enough room for me. At least for now.

I use a BPS rigging bag. It holds 8 3600 size boxes and has a zippered drop down rigging tray. Very handy for texas rigs, drop shot rigs etc. It also has a binder for worm bags and lots of storage pockets and is very well constructed.

I wish I had seen those Cabela bags before I bought one at Bass Pro Shop a few days ago. A large Advanced Anglers Pro Series would have been perfect...

I was thinking the exact same thing as you, SudburyBasser.

Cabela has a lot more choices of styles, and better ones than BPS.. (Plus I am not happy with BPS.)

I bought a Tournament Choice bag from Academy for $30. Came with five big boxes, and plenty of storage for plastics or other goodies in side and end pouches. Also has a spot where you can put a spool of line and fill your reel up without the hassle. Works well and seems to be well built. I don't have a ton of stuff, so it's perfect for me.

I use the older BPS rigging bag. Mine is gray, I think they are bright blue now, so I'm glad I have the older model. I have it completely packed and it weighs a ton, but only because it holds so much.

There are many styles of bags - some with tote handles/shoulder straps, some you wear like a backpack, etc. You have to decide what style you're looking for.

For a regular tote/shoulder type bag, I've always been impressed by the green bags at Cabelas. I don't normally use a tackle bag, but if I did, these are what I would use:

Advanced Angler Pro-Series Tackle Bag - no boxes

Advanced Angler Pro-Series Tackle Bag - with boxes

These bags are on sale right now!

Thanks for the recommendation. I just received my new bag (magnum). Same length as my old bag yet it holds triple the gear. thanks again. 

I bought the new kvd bag and its very nice and it's huge..now I have only had it a few weeks and I mostly fish ponds..it's very heavy packing it around so it's kinda all preference I guess ..I thought about making up a tiny bag for just what I'm gonna fish on that day for the rest of winter..but a great bag best I've ever had

I'm actually debating on setting up a tiny bag with a decent variety for my winter fishing..there's all sorts of tackle I don't even use in the winter and maybe packing less rods..I could honestly use a small bag and two rods..instead of packing a suitcase and 4-5 rods to the ponds

Lots of folks seem to like them. I certainly like the looks of the bag they're closing out better than the new one with the yellow accents and such.

 

I'm still temped to order an old one while they still have them..........and I don't even use a tackle bag....
