I was not enjoying lugging around a small/medium tackle box for some of my quicker targeted excursions. I tried carrying a small plastic storage box in my pocket but though OK sometimes it still did not allow for storage of the lures I wanted to bring. This would also work nice carrying my release equipment when I try for musky again, so I can worm my way around the area with my big tackle box at the main spot but if I catch something I would have everything required for CPR on me at all times. I was looking for something small and light and something that could be worn high on the back in case I wanted to wade. I also wanted something inexpensive.

I picked up this pack over the winter as it seemed to fit my needs. I like the fact that it is a single shoulder operation (bandoleer style). It fits tight to my back, and I can get it to ride high..... When I need something I can pull it around so it slides over my shoulder and moves from my back to my front for easy access to items.

The compartments are handy and easy to use. It hold a dozen or so UL lures (I have started keeping them in the boxes they come in for easy of storage and just toss these into the bag as needed. It carries all my release gear and camera nicely. I was going to find a small thin container I could store worms to make it even more handy.

I got this from Bass pro online when they were offering free shipping and got it for about $35. I found others that fit this profile but they started at more than double the price. the one thing I would change about this product is that it is only available in one gaudy color.

If you like to carry lots of tackle and lures this may not be your thing but if you often go out for species specific trip and know what you'll need this should cover most of your needs. The only thing I will have to carry by hand would be a net and minnows.
