Tackle Bags
Submitted by orsijamo on Sun, 2009-02-15 18:58
Any suggestions on the best soft tackle bags out there?
I want it to be able to keep the water out on a boat and have enough room for shallow water rigs (chasing KG whiting), some mid depth jigging and tackle for bottom fishing, plus tools. Then I will also want to keep a couple of trolling lures and some squid jigs.
Bottom line looking for something that is going to be able to hold small amounts of a lot of stuff. 95% of my fishing will be either for KG's or bottom fishing for dhueys and the like out the back of Rotto. Want something easy to take on and off a boat.
Also I am a new member, so let me know if there is a better forum I should post to for these sorts of questions.
Thanks Jamin

those pfleuger bags are pretty good and great value, we however have run out and they dont make them anymore, so unless some other stores still have them you will be out of luck

Suggestions!
Jamin, we stock the Pflueger tackle bags and Shimano tackle bags. As for waterproof bags, we stock the New W/P Plano model and the W/P Team Sabpolo model. All well priced and wont cost an arm & a leg like some, PM me for more details if required or pop in!

Yea, Im using the Pflueger
Yea, Im using the Pflueger Contender tackle bag, its awesome. its got a detachable jig storage compartment at the top, and a 4 spool line dispenser on the side. Also has this part on the back of the bag which you can put our jackets and jumpers in it. I think its got 6 or 7 trays (too lazy to go check). and price is around 130'ish. gotta love it, 3 tackle boxes emptied into the bag, was perfect fit. since i got the bag, it camps next to my bed between use. I dont think the mrs is too happy with the fishing gear in the room though.

Oh and the new plano bag
Oh and the new plano bag that ryan is talking of, I had a chance to have a look at it while i was squizzing through oceanside. Nice bag, lil more compact then the contender but it has this kool feature where you can extend the height of the bag and fit another tray in. He also stocks the contender down there, between the two, both nice bags, but i had to go with the Pflueger, looks more fancy lol.
Bare in mind the size of the bags do accumalate some good weight lol. After filling one tray with sinkers and the rest of the bag is chockaz, its damn heavy to lug round, but beats several trips up n down. When choosing a bag, dont forget to check out the shoulder strap for the comfort of lugging. Not really something most people would remember to look at, but im so glad i did. Even with the extensive weight, mine is still very comfy to carry.
Hope that helps.

Go the berkly!
I got the berkly one its pretty comfortable to carry and all the trays are all the same size these days so you can swap and change as much as u like, two decent side pockets for leaders adn a nice size one for a small box of lures at the front, the selling point for me was the insulated lid, its water proof and it holds six stubbies with ice, what a bonus! perfect for when there not biting.

thanks for all the great suggestions
thanks to all. I will definitely see if I can sneak past the wife to head down and have a look at the selection down at oceanside on the weekend. Also thanks to chan for the thoughts about weight, I will definitely keep that in mind.

Im after water proof to put my own boxes in and gear for the boat.
It might not be what I thought but simple load it up dont send all the stuff rusty.

Ask Honsu to see if he can
Ask Honsu to see if he can find a pic on a white plano bag that he stocks. its quite a thick vinyl i think and i think water proof.
