Hey hardwater, how's your summer been?
I think I'm definitely looking more the backpack style like that ego bag. The striker ice and Eskimo bags look great though. Maybe more of an off-season storage option for when my eagle claw hard case gives out. As of now I've got it set up for 4 rods, 4 3500 tackle boxes, and some miscellaneous lights and tools and stuff. But it's a little cumbersome when I'm moving around on the ice, or sharing the hub with anyone else.
Ultimately I probably need to work on trimming down my gear a little bit more, too. Goal was maybe a backpack for the flasher as well as tackle boxes etc, so it's not rattling around in a couple milk crates. Also minimize trips from the basement to the truck when I go or come.
How many security guards you think I could get following me around at a scheels or cabelas, watching me try to stuff a Genz shuttle into different backpacks until I find what fits? 😆
