GENERAL: The size is perfect for everyday trips. I was looking for a tackle box and stumbled upon this while buying the KastKing Crixus reel and KastKing Resolute rod and loved the idea of being able to carry your tackle and bait in addition to any other supplies you want to bring without being weighed down by a clunky box or huge heavy backpack.
PROS: The included box fits perfect in the front pocket while the back(main) pocket still has plenty of space to store more tackle, reel boxes, a jacket, any additional tools and even some food or snacks. While the rod holder is initially designed to hold one 2 piece rod, I was able to securely fit 2 rod sets total. The "self healing" zippers DO in fact correct gaps in the zipper. Some of the pockets came with gaps in them and getting the zipper to close or open all the way and fix the gap took next to no effort. The fact you can zip up and hide away the water bottle pocket as well as the rod pockets is a nice touch.
CONS: Its a very minor thing but when you wear the pack, the adjustable strap has no way of being secured to the bag and just dangles out in front. Some clever ingenuity could solve that with a rubber band or tucking it away but it would be nice if it came with a strap holder. Second: I noticed when I take it off I find myself looking for a grab handle at the top of the bag for an easier way to set it down or pick it up. Last: While it may be water resistant it would be nice to see a more water resistant/proof style zipper, if I'm on the paddle board or kayak I would feel better about my lunch being protected from accidental splash back.
Other than that this is the perfect little pack for those quick trips and don;t want to carry an entire arsenal with you, but still have your hands and arms free.
