Hi guys,

I have been using a 20USD Hip Bag for the last 2 years and while it was ok it is slowly getting to the end of its life and I want to replace it that offers more functionality and quality.

What I am basically looking for is a hip bag where I can get 2 3500 utility boxes in and still have plenty of space for other stuff (bottle pouch, etc).

The two that I like so far are these:


DEPS TARPAULIN HIP BAG

and 

G4 PRO® HIP PACK


I am wondering if you guys have experience with any of those bags and/or have recommendations for similar ones.

Thank ya much!

 

 

I had a Plano and might be switching to the Daiwa emaralds older model shoulder bag but these new ones look very nice.

I am tending to go with the Simms, though twice as expensive. It really looks like a quality product. 

What I have not found out though is how many plano boxes (of what size) I can get into it.

I bought a White River (similar to Fish Ponds bags) pack at Bass Pro around 8 years ago for $40, and it's still kicking strong.  Has everything that Simms bag does, except it doesn't say Simms on it.  You're only going to be able to fit 2-3 small boxes.

Do you have the model description?

They don't have the exact same ones anymore, though this should get you started.  I have a chest pack and waist pack.  I don't think the chest pack style would be big enough.  I basically keep shot, hooks, a few flies and beads in it.  The bigger pack could hold some bass gear.

I went with the Deps. 

Should be here in a couple of days. Will do a quick report on it once I tested it.
