I was thinking about the Vidal trip .... maybe I should start a business renting out camels or something. From what I have seen so far UA members will have to pay extra.

How am I going to be able to fit everything on the plane??

Hi Steve. They definitely stay in a cover when not in use. Said so in brackets.

Habib, it is good to see you again. I like the shades holder on your bag.

Habib · « **Reply #36 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:24:00 PM »

the deep set trays are quiet nifty to store everything and close at the same time lol. all leader line from 0.6 to 1.5mm on the top as well. its always nice to have the leader/trace line on the top for ease of use. and as u can see....it tucks away quiet nicley on the side of the box. FYI...the tackle bag comes with 3 of these deep set trays but u end up only using 2....u will see why...as i progress with the pics.

Habib · « **Reply #37 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:26:47 PM »

and then the trace pouch in the front. nice thing about this trace pouch is it comes with seperate plastics (kinda like a plastic flip file thingy) so u dont have to have seperate moneypackets etc for your traces.

Habib · « **Reply #38 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:27:55 PM »

thats the trace pouch closed.

Habib · « **Reply #39 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:31:00 PM »

this is what it looks like from the front. what i like about this box is the top section can be opened without opening the entire flap so u save the sand from flying into the bag. the bag actually comes with 3 of those trays on 3 seperate shelves but i cut the last shelf out to accomodate the reels and sinkers
