Stand Up Backpack

[reason162]

Anyone have suggestions on a backpack that has some kind of hard shell/EVA bottom that stands upright?

Doesn't have to be a "fishing" backpack, and definitely not one of those with a gaping cavity at the bottom for 20 plano boxes.

I just need something that stands up so I can mount a rod holder to it, fishing sandy beaches with a baitcaster I need somewhere to stow the rod while unhooking fish etc.

Klein Tools makes a backpack with a rigid plastic base. I have one for my tools at work and it works well.

The tool backpacks look like they can work - I might get one and cut out all the pockets to reduce weight.

Thanks!

Osprey has one that does.

My 15 yo Osprey backpack is still going strong, so I like this rec - have you used the packs with integrated kickstand? Does it stand up in uneven surfaces like slightly sloping sand/grass etc?

I haven't tried it on any hills, my guess would be it needed to be placed on a semi flat surface.

I use a Yeti carryall bag.

Find the equivalent to the Albakore. Maybe there are a few new SKB available at some retailers.

I have an older model Shimano Blackmoon top load backpack that I use for the beach that stands upright. The newer models looks like it might be a little bigger though (holds an extra plano box). I also use this aluminum expandable rod holder/spike I found on amazon to keep my rod/reel from falling on to the sand https://www.amazon.com/MOIAK-Fishing-St ... 31&sr=8-64
