Need A Backpack, Single Strap / Cross Shoulder

Featured Replies

So I need a new backpack for fishing, and I want it to be a single strap one, cross shoulder. I had a great one years ago but gave it away :(

 

I found this on Bass Pro: http://www.basspro.com/5-11-Rush-Moab-6-Ambidextrous-Tactical-Sling-Pack/product/13013005512321/

 

are any of you guys using something like this, and if so, which one would you recommend?

 

thanks!

If you are willing to spend, Maxpedition bags are awesome.  They have several sling types.  

Lowepro makes some cool one shoulder bags you might consider. We have one we use for my wife's digital slr.

I got the first one you listed, as well as some pliers, digital scale, and braid scissors... so next time we're on the water I'll not be bugging you about it :)

 

thanks for all the advice guys!

I have a smaller version of the Spiderwire one. I love it. Keeps me very organized.

Dont know if you are looking for a tackle bag or just back pack, but i got mine from my local Meijer for $35. Great deal IMO.

I saw a nice one at DSG yesterday, think it was their F&S brand, around $40. Looked like it would hold four 3700 boxes and a bunch plastics. Sorry, I should snapped a pic, but its worth a look.

i u want to carry a lot then i recommend the xps stalker if u dont want to carry alot then get the freestyle 370 u cant get both at bass pro

I use timbuk2 bags for cycling and they are awesome and do work well for fishing too. They are also customizable to pretty much whatever you want to do.

I have heard of these. Are they very expensive?

Well I guess that is all relative. I paid around 90 for my first one about 15 years ago and it has been through more abuse than anything I own and it is still going strong. This includes commuting 30 miles round trip on my road bike for about 2 years, rain or shine. I have used mine wading as well and there is a good bit of adjustability to allow the bag to ride up higher on your back when needed.

I recently got into road biking. I have heard of many people using them for this. but never for fishing.

They work great for biking and the open compartment makes them hold Plano boxes very well for fishing too.
