rockfisherman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Try and find something that dosnt have zippers, the zippers are first to go after extensive use. I found a back pack with a drawstring top and a flap of material Which comes down over the top and secures with plastic clip, cost about $70 from a camping store.

luderick -angler Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Jot, I got one of the original Swiis army packs all leather straps and base (just keep dubbin into the leather) and very heavy canvas paid $70 for it and got it at the disposal camping store on York Street in the city otherwise try the militaria store on George street 45 degrees opposite the Great Southern Hotel. Thry had some awesome American packs all canvas with plastic clips both packs have no zippers andI have had both over 10 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennoz Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 ive been in the same boat for a while. trying to work out the "ultimate" travel backpack. Appart from modifing a pack yourself the only obe that comes close (for me anyway) is the black magic tackle pack (the larger version). but at around 180 bucks its pretty expensive. Its got 4 or 5 tackle trays you can swap around depending on what your after. Its got a swapable waterproof insulated cold tray for food / filets/ bait. room up top for reels / larger items and a good size. if i could make this myself, turn the back into a seat aswell, and save some $$$ that would be my ideal pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie g Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Keep some wd40 in your bag. I take my spool off the reel and spray everything including the zippers if they they are getting buggered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
