I've been spending money again

Great piece of kit

 

I know what it's like..if I go into a my local tackle shop to get a few leads etc I usally end up walking out with a rod or reel!

Well, the bag was waiting for me when I got back and I have to say I’m disappointed.

 

The first problem is that it’s much, much to big. I know the measurements were up there but it’s always hard to judge these things from numbers on a page and to be honest, I had assumed that it was going to take the 6” x 8” clear plastic boxes instead of the dirty great things that come with it.

 

The second problem is the closure, which is one of those silly twin zip things. From experience with sports bags, I reckon it’ll last about a week.

 

OK, so I can use it for my big lures but as 90% of my lure fishing is light or ultralight, it’s not going to be seen very often.

 

Giving up on Wynchwood, I decided to take advantage of the strength of the pound and look at BassPro and Cabelas. Nothing ! There are any number of bags suitable for a small expedition but not a single small over the shoulder lure bag.

Even the so called trout/game bags are useless because they wont take a lure box.

I’m off to the Surplus store later in the week to try to find a gasmask bag that I can strip out and seal the seams of with duct tape.

I managed to get this, including the 2 boxes and 19 lures on ebay. Delighted!

Although it did smell a bit musky but a day airing in the garden sorted that out.

I use the Shakespeare Lure Bags and have been using the largest one in the tropics for the past few years without problem and it has ended up in the oggin a few times.

The smallest one may suit you look at:

what about looking for a small, Trout game bag or what about a belt bag like this: http://www.tightlines.co.uk/ProductDetailI...opListRec=29107

I am trying out a belt bag for my salty fluff chucking next month in Cuba it only cost me £12 or so I think it would be ideal for sneaking around with an ultralight, mine even came complete with sports type drinks bottle.
