What backpack use ?
What backpack (bag) use on fishing trips? To carry hardbaits, soft baits, etc. .... When you go to the riverside ...I'm looking for a durable backpack, where I can put some 3600 or even 3700 size boxes and some accessories..
Until next time....Tight Lines!

I use this backpack
http://cabelas.digby.com/shops/web/cabe ... ndorId=101
there is a really nice lake here it's a five mile hike and a thousand feet worth of elevation change! This backpack has a 2l bladder. Thick straps to distribute weight comfortably. And enough space for fishing gear and food. It's held up well over the last year and a half. It's a bit bigger than I would like but ive never had to leave anything that I couldn't carry (this includes a foldable camp chair)!

Re: What backpack use ?
While I don't have one (William Joseph pack) I do have three packs from their sister company. WJ packs are geared more towards the fly angler, but certainly aren't limited to that. http://www.williamjoseph.net/ If/when I need a pack/vest for fishing, I'll be looking at them.
I've got 3 packs from their sister company Badlands. OUTSTANDING hunting packs with a lifetime warranty. I used my warranty once on some stitching that was coming loose in a high stress area. It was only just starting and I wanted some "preventative medicine". No questions asked, it was taken care of. My main pack just blew a zipper last weekend on my most used compartment and as soon as I'm not using that pack on a weekly basis, I'll send it in for a repair too.
My main pack gets used every weekend. I run a string of 8 trail cameras on a 160 acres piece of property. My pack carries all my gear and clothes I might need for the day. The compartment that blew its zipper carries all my AA batteries and memory cards, so I open that zipper a minimum of 8 times a week from late August thru early June. +90°F to -30°F. Sun, rain, sleet, snow, ice.

Can you recommend a good backpack from Cabelas? I will use it only to fishing, to transport some boxes with hardbaits ...
Until next time....Tight Lines!

The Shimano Blackmoon is a GREAT fishing pack. It also has a small cooler section big enough for a sandwich and drink if necessary. But I don't know if they still make them anymore. I had one a few years ago and it was one of those things I really wish I had never sold.

Re: What backpack use ?
I have two backpacks....a TW backpack and a BPS backpack. I prefer the TW more because it's more sturdy and I can fit my swimbait box in main compartment. I take the BPS backpack if I'm going to be out all weekend. This thing fits 4 3600 boxes at the bottom and 3 more on top....not a great idea to carry a lot as it's heavy as ish.
I will NEVER sell another 3:16 swimbait again!

I agree with "damian_megabass" the BPS backpack is pretty good. I have been using mine for about 2 years now and if you are just using it for a short outing its perfect. You can fit alot of tackle in there but it can fill up quick especially if you organize your tackle by shallow - medium - deep.

If you could post what the volume is then I could give you a better idea of how much room that actually is. It should be listed in either liters or cubic inches in their descriptions. Also I know you said "some" 3600 and 3700 boxes but exactly how many do you wanna carry? I have to pack in everything in the reservoir I fish and I use a Gregory Z55 which is 60 liters (3660 cu.in.). This is a decent sized pack though and I probably over stuff it but the harness and suspension are outstanding. I never realized how good a pack can feel until I got that one a few years back.
Even though I don't think you need something this big, here is what I carry in mine. All boxes are Falcon FTO, 3 large crankbait boxes, hook and sinker box, jig box, spinnerbait/buzzbait box, suspending jerkbait box. 2 Falcon speed bags for plastics and a 3rd for scale, forceps, multitool, oils, lubes, bug sprays and stuff like that. Then on top of that I pack in an Eagle portable fishfinder, food, water, clothing/rain gear for me and my 2 sons. That's just on my back, don't ask about what's in my hands
