Title: DIY ORCA Tackle box upgrade
Post by: whalerider on July 23, 2014, 01:19:58 PM

Most of us either own or inherited a Orca tackle box, and after the first outing with it , our shoulders feels burnt from the straps cutting into it . I have brainstormed this and found a comfortable yet cheap solution as to modifying it creating a more comfortable carry with in my opinion is lighter than a loaded H Frame
 
browsing through cash crusaders i spotted a karrimor baby carrier , which is a light frame that has got the padded shoulder straps and kidney belt, bought mine for R30 without kidney belt and embarked on creating a once off fishing bag for myself .
 
I cut up an broken camping chair and sewed a back support on and made a kidney belt , mounted the orca box on frame and riveted the kidney belt on frame. I chose not to add rod holders as it would in my opinion weaken the frame
 
Here's the end result and i must say its a breeze to walk with .
