kid_just_wants_to_fish Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hello, I am looking for a fishing backpack around 100 dollars. I have looked on amazon and have found a few but they have mixed reviews. Does anyone have one they really like? I am looking for good durability, lots of storage, waterproof, comes with tackle boxes, etc. Thank You and Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhager23 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I bought one of these when they were still branded as Ocean's Edge and have been happy with it. Mine has neither legs nor extendable handle - neither of which did I want nor need. Shimano makes a very similar one. https://www.amazon.com/Okuma-Nomad-Soft-Sided-Range/dp/B0171O3PAE kid_just_wants_to_fish 1 "A land without memories is a people without liberty" - Robert E.

CoffeeHangover Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think you'll pay through the nose for anything "fishing" marketed or manufactured by a big name in fishing. Money better spent on a secondhand jansport and some plane flats. kid_just_wants_to_fish and DeepBlue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ged Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Waterproof? Probably my RTIC cooler backpack. I use it to hold gear when I fly, and use if when I plan to keep fish (Bonito). snag777 and kid_just_wants_to_fish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatonem Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Probably wont find a waterproof 1 unless you go for a fly pack. Those are like $200. I used a Camelback w/out bladder. pack for 3 years. It just fell apart. I received a $50 bass pro card and bought this. Lunkerhunt. Came with Plano boxes and plenty of storage and pockets. Truth be told, was not that impressed with any by any of the brands Daiwa, Shimano, Penn. I just needed 1and grabbed this. I have been pleasantly surprised so far. About 5 months with it. kid_just_wants_to_fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsmyname Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I was looking for one too. Looked on Amazon for cheap backpacks, plenty around $30. Then find one that fits dimensions of a plastic case/cases you want to house lures. Lastly spray with aerosol waterproofing. This will get you exactly what you want for <$100. I looked for something as small as I could get that would fit my Plano cases. Also something made from cordura nylon. kid_just_wants_to_fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this I would look at back-country back packs, there are some mid-range hiking packs that offer a lot, or a little storage, support and durability in a better price than name brand fishing markted equipment, as previously stated. Go to an REI store if you can, they have an enormous selection of backpacks that you really need to handle to make the right choice. Lots of other cross-over applications for fishing as well.... kid_just_wants_to_fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, simms and fishpond make submersible packs. Pricey though! kid_just_wants_to_fish and ged 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pd07 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have a shimano backpack currently and it is nice, does what I need it to. But also had a Field and Stream backpack which I think was a better pack for me. Gave it to a friend of mine, kinda regret letting it go. I think I picked up the F&S pack at Dicks. kid_just_wants_to_fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
