Not sure where you are located but Cabela's/ Bass Pro has a large in store inventory of options. I just changed from an old school tackle box with trays to a bag with the 3700 sized boxes. Looking online sucked but was almost overwhelmed with options when I went to Cabela's.I bass fish from shore. Usually carry 3 rods and a large tackle bag that holds 6 or so Plano 3700 sized boxes plus additional gear.
My back is not going to handle that size of bag and I likely don't need to take it out every trip. I'm looking for suggestions for a sling type bag that would carry a couple of Plano 3700 series boxes and some other small gear (pliers, etc). Difficult when local places like Academy and Sportsman's don't have much like this in stock to check out in person.
Anyone have suggestions, recommendations and best yet first hand experience with something like this?
Agreed, that's been the issue.Not sure where you are located but Cabela's/ Bass Pro has a large in store inventory of options.

I was however looking kinda hard at a bag I saw on Amazon that was able to be a backpack but also had a two wheel dolly it attached to and even had a drink or bait cooler built into the top. But, I chose to go a different route since I couldn't see it in person first.
I've had my flambeau infinite divider system boxes I've been using for probably 20+ years. I finally ran across some new IDS boxes recently at Sportsman's and they just weren't the same quality.The auction house had Plano Options tackle bags with 4 3400 boxes. $13 at an auction or $7.50 taking 5 at a dealer's auction. Since the bag is black with white, light pink and dark pink dots, boxes have lavender latches I got them for the girls in my family.
2010, MidwayUSA had a clearance sales, check one day and prices were cheap, another day they were high. One morning 3400's were $1.69, 3700's were $1.79. In the photo I could see the center of the lid was scuffed. I got 20 of each. Every one of them had a blem in the left rear corner of the lid. The scuffed spot was removing Cabelas and BPS emblem.
Man I REALLY miss that thread!!!
Minnows under a slip bobber, small spinners like a Rooster Tail cast over weeds, a small jig with a behemoth or two jigged under the boat or in an around holes in the weeds. This all in spring.I've always gone catfishing and have occasionally done some blue gill fishing. I've never gone crappie fishing before. What do y'all prefer for bait when crappie fishing?
