and this is the container thats on the 2nd shelf. i just keep spare stuff thats not commonly used but is probably good to have at the water. stuff like spare spool...slide clips/skirts/spare hooks....spoons/plugs....steel wire...tide/barrometer watch etc....

the one thing that we always seem to leave back home

Habib · « **Reply #50 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:47:10 PM »

the side pouches as i said are quiet big . even your rod bucket fits in them comfortably

Habib · « **Reply #51 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:49:48 PM »

and on the other sides pouch....your spare line and whatever else you wana put in. i recently found out that having one of those "mag wheel cleaning brushes" in your bag does the world of good. comes in handy when brushing of sea sand and general ccleaning of stuff (bags/chillers etc...) before you pack them back into the vehicle

Habib · « **Reply #52 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:51:29 PM »

and thats her all closed up. take note of the little pouches on each of the side pouches. comes in handy to keep knife/scissor/nail clippers etc....

Habib · « **Reply #53 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:52:40 PM »

thats the top with another flap to keep rods/sand spikes etc when walking

Habib · « **Reply #54 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:54:25 PM »

thats the back with yet another big pouch (if you look closley u will see it). that pouch can keep spare dry clothes/rain coat etc....

Habib · « **Reply #55 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:56:40 PM »

padded really well. they put a soft thick padding in all the areas that normally chow your back...namely the lower back and side flanks. very comfy to walk with. when on your back...u hardley even notice its there...even with all that weight

Habib · « **Reply #56 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:58:29 PM »

thats what it compares to a small orca. and thats the big lytie who helped me that night. the little bag is his.

Habib · « **Reply #57 on:** April 25, 2011, 11:09:59 PM »

ok im done now.

all in all...its a great bag to have. no wood and alluminiam digging into you. no steel and zips as well so nothing will rust. made only with a good quality water proof type of canvas and all flaps/sections are closed off in velcro (zips never really worked in the salt water scene so the velcro on every flap is a bonus).. shoulder straps are well padded and all stitching is heavy duty. wipes of nicley afet a trip...doesnt stain.

good thing about this bag is you can pack it for every type of trip...wether it be a long walk on the kosi beaches or a trek on the transkei mountains. all your edible and non ed tackle can be put in.

also keeps stuff like rod buckets and other important goodies that are normally left behind.

very well designed as to keep minimum pressure and discomfort to a low.

the only thing they left out is a pouch to store the mistress....but im sure u guys will get that stitched on

made by sensation (called the BIG BOY 2) and retails for around R900 but i have a contact for them to get them a few hundred cheaper if done on a bit of a bulk order.

GET YOURSELF ONE...U WILL BE PLEASENTLY SUPRISED.

TIGHT LINES ALL...CHEERS FROM ME AND THE LYTIE

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.

HOWSIT BRU

long time?....hope all is well with u.

that pouch on the front is really robust. and its always nice to have your fishing shades packed away safely. you can even boot that pouch and it wont go in.
