So at the last tournament weigh in, my bag was ticking like a frightened Poodle.  I had like 3 leaks in it.  Time for a new one.  However, upon reading reviews, it seems  that most bags get rated poorly.  What bags have you had success with going to the weigh in?

 

Thanks

I use the one from Berkley but it too does not last long. I usually have to buy one every couple of years.  They tend to tare at the bottom seems.  I think it happens from dry rot.  

 

I did see a guy two weeks ago weigh in with a Hot Cold bag you get at the supermarket.  It seemed to work ok for him. 

 

 

Gator grip makes a very nice bag for the money. I've been using one this year I like it. I refuse to pay a ton of money for a weigh bag and at $15 it seems like your actually getting your money's worth, they make a black and clear one I've been using the clear. I know alot of guys that use the bass mafia money bags but I'm not spending that kind of money on a bag.

I was also using the Berkley bag.  It has lasted 2 years now and was cheap.  The Hot Cold bag is an interesting twist for sure.  There is probably a good bag out there not marketed for fishing that is cheap and works well.  
I agree Hower08, I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a bag with no guarantees.  I will check out the Gator grip.  Thanks

I had the Berkley, lasts a year for r two and develops leaks. I keep it now for our Tuesday night tournaments where multiple people use the bag, drag it on the ground, etc. My wife to be got me a accu cull bag last year. I love it! I use please release me in my livewell, and the bag has a mesh liner so the treated water stays In. It has a zipper on it too, so if you happen to set it down and the bad tips over, you aren’t losing all your water instantly and certainly not your fish. My weekend bass club just switched from the Berkley bags to the accu cull as well.

X2 on Gator Grip. I have the white one with black interior both durable and US made. Also have their bump board.

Gator Grip - It's what our club provides to boats for weigh in so we have like 30 of them, don't think we've had an issue with a single one yet...Going on 5 years or so with the current set.  

Awesome guys.  Thanks for the info. I am going to order a Gator Grip tonight.   Appreciate the help.  Now I just hope I can fill it up!

The hot/cold bag would work for informal or club events. If you fish a bigger event with tubs of water to put your fish/bag in while waiting, it probably have a hard time getting the bag to stay under water
