FIshing Bag - Preference

[TubeDude]

Based on this feedback...

I have a couple very good fanny pack, so just a few tweaks and they should pass an inspection from Pat and be good for a grab and go on short away runs from the truck.

I have a couple very good back packs, and I think I will set one up to leave in the truck with a mix of species offerings to be my main on the go inventory and my goto when i have the wandering bug that will have me away from the truck for a while

What i don't have and dearly want after doing a little goggle search work, is a real good vest. And I can see that being a go to grab for these quick panfish runs I love. Thanks lovetofish my wife thanks you also - Sportsmans here I come

Hard to beat a well designed fishing vest for "grab and go" trips.  With plenty of pockets and either velcro or zipper closures...for security...you can keep all the basic necessities as well as clippers, leaders, hooks, swivels, sinkers, etc. in a handy and easily accessible wearable.  I have worn out several vests over time...and for quite a while I both wore a vest and a chest pack.  Depends on what you need...or what you think you need.  And there is no law I know of that says you have to use just one or the other...or that you can't use both.

One suggestion:  If you get a vest get one a size or two larger than you would buy for a fashion statement.  It should be large enough to throw on over a sweatshirt or coat.
