I bought this bag for my boyfriend. He is an avid fisherman and casts a lure at least twice a month. He has a full sized tackle backpack that he uses for full day or overnight trips. However, this was bulky for just a quick trip to the local bass pond. Now, with his new Kylebooker Fishing Pack, he can sling this lightweight pack over his shoulder and head out for couple of hours of lip rippin' after work. The sling pack has at least a dozen handy pockets and pouches to carry all the necessities from line, to lures, to hooks, & bait. It even has a special snap pouch to carry your pliers or forceps in so they won't drop out! This bag has all the attitude of a large pack but in a compact, efficient, carry friendly size. I might have to get one for my self!!
