For me, it wouldn't work and I wouldn't buy one.  In looking at the measurements and pictures and then trying to use it a one-man flip-over, it's just too big.  I've started taking two small soft cases with rod sleeves on my rods to keep them from getting tangled.  I just pull one out when needed and toss the case back in the tub.

Quicker, lighter, and smaller is better in my setup so that I spend more time fishing.  I tried a larger hard case that held more rods, but it was just too unwieldy messing with rods behind me with the case being the width of the tub while seated, and it took up took much room.  I suspect that would be the case with the one that you're looking at.  I now use the hard case for off-season storage only.

Good luck!

Don't have that particular bag - but I do have a Vexan bag https://vexan.com/product/36-5-ice-fishing-combo-rod-tackle-bag-blue-ice/  Quality built and would buy it again if I lost this one.

I don't have a review but have the same question.  It looks to be the best I've found for a soft side bag to hold the gear I use when hopping holes fishing out of the truck door or running tip ups only.  (two 36 inch rods, a couple jawjackers and rods for them, fooler and rod, and some tackle. Hoping for a sale or a used one to pop up.

I just got one, nice bag, can fit a lot of gear in them but was disappointed because it advertised it could hold a 36" rod but it's real tight. I'm afraid of having the tip busted off . Going to trim the handle to get it to fit properly. I also got a Scheels hard case made by Plano, 42", it's a tank, using it for traveling with multiple rods. I was able to get 13 rods in that one removing a few reels and some of the tackle cases it came with.

Is there a tag in your bag that says Croxton? I have a Cabela's one that looks just like that. I think Croxton makes most of them and they're just re-branded.

If it does, I'm gonna be bent  ;D   That $30 price tag is much more attractive.  In just looking at the two there are some size and pocket differences - but will check tonight for sure.

I have the Cabela's bag and it looks pretty darn similar.

I like the Croxton Extra Long 4 rod but not sure it would fit 4 rods and jawjackers/foolers, and there aren't many pictures out there...
