Im looking for a new tackle bag and i was wondering what you thought of this bag.

The reviews arent that great and i was just wondering if maybe you would suggest another one. Thanks.

It looks fine to me, I use something similiar with a bigger top in hard plastic, big enough to hold about 100 bags of worms etc

NCYankee · 03-28-06, 06:44 PM

It looks as if it will do the job, but seems a bit over-priced. Did you read the reviews?

fizzle fro · 03-28-06, 06:48 PM

yes i did but i havent really come across one that ive liked as this. I dont really wanna spend that much money but i cant find anything else. Maybe if some of you guys have some other tackle bags that you like and can show me.

I own that exact bag and I can tell you that it is a great bag. It has PLENTY of room to store tackle, odds and ends, spinnerbaits, the boxes are fine, the trays are DESIGNED to slip out because they are adjustable to fit different sized boxes, the zippers work just fine, and loaded with all the stuff I own, my bag weighs 27lbs..somewhere around there. I bought mine when the price was 59.99...but I would have paid the 74.99 for it because I couldn't find another bag that stores boxes horizontally that had a hard frame and everything. The sunglasses compartment is hard molded so no worries of crushing the glasses. Everything I've experienced with this bag is quality and have not had one single problem with it, in any way. If I were you and I wanted like I know I did..I'd go for it, because it IS worth it.

Looks good to me, other than it's too small for my stuff LOL. I hate reviews, everytime I see a bad movie review I love the movie. I say if it's what you like then go for it. Who else is gonna use it but you, so buy what you want, not the critics.

get the new flipsider love it...

bassinbob · 03-28-06, 10:59 PM

Ken, right now I don't need a new bag but you've got me sold. That was one great review..27lbs. that's downright heavy.lol...do you have wheels for it? bass kicker i have a bag like that. I like it. Not as many compartments but it does the job. fizzle looks like a good bag, go for it.

KenDammit · 03-29-06, 12:56 AM

nah, no wheels(though thats one thing I'd add), but the handle and the shoulder strap make it pretty easy to carry.

skeeter944 · 03-29-06, 08:59 AM

right now i am using a flambeu 4 box 3600 series.it is not the best, i can tell you that! the box you are looking at looks great,it has lots of room.you might want to wait until bass pro shops has they're easter sale or something.

tbuff1 · 03-29-06, 03:52 PM

im not for the soft tackles...i like a hard plastic that bridges out on both sides... this one seems to complicated

Bender · 03-29-06, 04:48 PM

I just got this one. I got all of my soft plastics in there but that was it. I haven't gotten to use it yet, but it seems decent. Also it is $10 less than I paid a couple weeks ago at the store, a rod I just bought there is also $30 less on the website.

fizzle fro · 04-05-06, 08:23 PM

alright ive put in a lot of thought into this but i cant decide between the flipsider and the XPS 370 from bass pro. the flipsider is on sale and is $20 cheaper than the XPS 370. the flipsider doesnt hold as much but i think its design is really cool and its hard to turn down. With the extra money i could probably buy some extra utility boxes as well. What do you guys think i should do?

flfireman · 04-06-06, 12:03 AM

Save yourself the problem of needing a new bag next year. Buy the presidential from BPS. I still have compartments left over.
