At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Bag recommendation please

#1 Post by beebub2 »

Hi,

I'm looking to get a bag for general use. I have an old ruck sack that I have been using, but it's useless as everything is in together and it's impossible to see what I'm doing or what's in it and what's not.

I'm looking for a bag which I can see stuff pretty easily when I open it (particularly when on a beach in the dark with a head lamp!). I also want something which will serve as a catch-all. i.e. something which will carry most of my ancillary gear (weights, rigs, head lamp, knifes gloves etc.)

Don't mind spending a few quid on it either.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Sorry I couldn't help it! :oops: Beebub the shaksphere tackle box is really handy as it's big so you can see right in. It's a pain in the arse that everything else is separate that you pay for but it's handy that all your gear will be stored in during and after fishing.

Id advise a seat box with the breakaway back rest if your feelling flush, all your gear will be easily accesable and youll have a seat into the bargin.

Thanks lads.

Have decided to go with this:

I'll fit in better in the summer months, no? I felt that Tesco has just a bit too much class.
