Let Em Run Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 My bad it's a 2 3" tube . I just don't want to big. I always try to fish light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyangler Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Another vote for Flatlander two tube and a 5.11 duty belt. I don’t like backpacks and don’t wear a wading jacket in Florida so all the bits hang from the Batman Utility Belt. I even fashioned a spare rod holder for the rare day when I want a 7’ and longer rod with me. “No nation in history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.” - Victor Davis Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinfish Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I use a single tube from flatlander and a MAK bucktail pouch most of the time out front. I generally only fish plastics, ava and bucktails from the beach. The single tube holds 3-5 plugs Let Em Run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow3022 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 As someone who's had flatlander, ebbpoint, gear up, aquaskinz bags, i started out with a 3 tube flatlander, sold that and got a 2 tube flatlander w/ front pouch. Sold that, went to a blitz bag which is good but not good for tall plugs so, there goes that idea. Ebb point didnt have spot for tins or bucktails, that got sold.......Aquaskinz double barrell, if that had some d rings and bucktail slots that wouldve been great. I finally downsized to a gear up mini with a front pouch. Enough room to hold medium and smaller plugs(can't hold 7-8 inch pencils or pikies). Front pouch has bucktail slots plus some room for extras. Couple that with a commando zipper pouch for bigger soft plastics, leader wallet stuff which works for me. Although I wear my bag on my shoulder, and clip into my belt. Let Em Run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frede Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Carried the kitchen sink for decades......ah to be young and bulletproof. Switched to a 3 tube cheapo bag on a police duty belt a few yours back. This setup keeps me at around 6-8 items that I pick out of a cache kept in my truck. It's freeing to have a lightweight and small bag that I can slide around to the small of my back when fishing. Salt air provides the levity needed for survival.

The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. boB was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab.

Sandbar1 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Commando three tube can cover just about every application in my book. Three tubes, five bucktail slots, a detachable front pouch for riggies and soft plastics and pouches for a water bottle/ extra tube and pork rinds. When I'm swimming a distance or making a long walk in I'll just go with a two tube Gear Up or single tube Ebb Point on the belt.

Terry Mac Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 23 hours ago, Let Em Run said: I talked to Flatlanders yesterday he said he is 8 months out. I really wanted a Back Bay , don't really want to wait 8 months even though it would be worth it , but looks like I might go with middle size ODM. You can do better. Gear Up is a much better quality bag and as durable as a bag $100 dollars more. Been there done that. Good luck.
