The material and workmanship is superior. I read the previous reviews about the backpack ...

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2014

Very high quality tackle backpack. When I opened the box and saw the special labeling with tags that identify all the key features, I could tell it was of high quality. The material and workmanship is superior. I read the previous reviews about the backpack not being as large as expected but I am happy with the size and compact nature of the backpack. Very streamlined and not bulky. True, you can't load up all of your tackle in your arsenal but you can load up the 3500 trays with lures depending on what you are fishing for on a given day.. I loaded mine up with bass lures and left my trout lures in the trays at home until I am ready to fish for trout. Enough room for all my lures and soft baits. Overall, very satisfied and the internal and external light is a plus!

I am adding on to this review to let buyers know that the little orange button that turns the light on and off fell off and was lost the first time out fishing with the backpack. I didn't notice the missing button until I got home. Although I could rig somethng up like a plastic plug, I decided to replace it with a new one. The defective orange button does not change my rating because I really like the way the pack feels and it has made my fishing trips so much easier and relaxing having hands free.

Just think about how practicle it really isn't!

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

Was a good idea... but i don't think backpack tackle boxes have any sort of a future. I'm an avid fisherman, invested thousands into my hobby. This particular bag was used 2-3 times out of the 40 or so times I went fishing last year. and each of those 2-3 times i said to myself, why did i get this thing!? who packs that much tackle for a small trip? and when you go on a small trip, don't you need your back available for a backpack instead of a tackle box? but on a day trip, it is just overkill to have place for 35 lures. quality is good, but not practical in anyway that i can see. this would be easily replaced with a small 6x6 cooler size bag, that can fit a few of everything you need for your day fishing.

Great, well thought out bag!

This thing is awesome! It's well made, has pockets and storage for everything and it's also super light and durable. Oh, and get this - it floats! Dropped mine off the side of the dock, thought it was a goner, nope, it was right there floating!

If you plan on using larger tackle cases you might want to go to the next size up, otherwise just plan on storing your plugs in 4 smallers cases within the bag, meaning you might have to leave a few behind that you don't use frequently. I got just about everything I needed in there though. I keep all my plastics in the top compartment and it holds A LOT OF STUFF!

Only slight complaint is that the side plastic mesh pockets are so tight that there's no way to store a water bottle there so those are only really good for extra things that you can squeeze in there securely - def not enough to even drop half a star off though. The plier holder on the outside bag is incredibly convenient as well. This bag is fantastic and I plan on getting the same one for my brother in law soon - you won't regret buying this!

Husband is happy about the $90 price tag he got on this tackle backpack and is happy with same. It arrived slightly damaged even though indicated "New" but nothing serious enough for a return. The broken piece/missing cover was nowhere to be found in the box it arrived in. The compartments and containers make the compact tackle backpack very organized, holds a lot, and seems pretty well-made so far. Hope this helps.

Best surf bag ive ever owned

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

The bag arrived in very good packaging. It has enough space for me to carry terminal tackle, lures, and whatever else I need when I'm fishing out on the surf. The light helps allot when tying rigs in the dark. The stitching looks solid and has held up on long walks with some hefty amount of gear. It keeps everything extremely organized and easy to access. This bag will change your fishing experience for the better.

Best bag for fishing on the go!

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018

Ive been using this bag for a year or so now and its compact best way to bring what you need for the right fishing and more. Bag top compartment can fit five spools of line and a few extras. The bag has a rain coat so no worries on carrying in the rain. Front light on the bag is one of the beat features this bag has besides storage. The light it at the perfect hight to wear or set down when on the go fishing. Day or night. If you want a nice bag to tough it out and put your gear and be on the go and leave in your vehicle and grab and go wherever you please. This is the bag for you! .......

Not a paid comercial add by yours truely

Much smaller then I thought

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I was extremely disappointed in the size, I'm definitely responsible for getting it without double checking the size but I was looking at larger ones and this one came up and I guess I assumed based off the price it was still the large size. It seems very well built, and the light should be handy but based off what I was getting it for its not going to hold all my gear. I tried to return it but it said non returnable even though on the order itself it said "free return", I had to call Amazon and they made it right, other wise I would of been super upset about the purchase. So I'm not sure how many stars to give it 🤔.
