The MOATB!

Today I received the Mother of all Tackle bags!

I apologize if this gets a bit long but here's the backstory. Earlier this year I traded an older Abu Garcia rods to my BIL for 3 cheap (inexpensive) Piscifun baitcast reels and 2 spare spools for one of them which he had never used. Two of them were 5:3.1 ratio which I needed for my deep cranking and was really the only reason I made the trade.

IAt that time emailed Piscifun to find out warranty/repair info and to find out about spare spools for the other two models only one of which had them available. At the time I held off on purchasing them but over the weekend I got an email from the company saying they were down to the last 2 for left hand reels and that they would not be restocking them. They offered me an incredible discount so I accepted and made payment through Paypal. A few hours later I got a second email asking about my fishing history. A 3rd email followed asking if I would like to receive this tackle bag in exchange for my opinion, good or bad. I didn't see a downside so I accepted. They mailed it Monday through Amazon and it arrived today!

Now, about the bag.

For starters this thing is HHUUGGEE! It holds a whopping total of 17 hard boxes- 12 3700 boxes in the main compartment and 5 3600 boxes around the outside perimeter of the bag. There are additional zippered and non-zippered pockets inside each of those pockets and a tool holder on 2 of them. The top has 3 zippered compartments on the outside and one giant one on the inside. And the end pockets also have additional zippered pockets inside. There are also clips and attachment rings ALL OVER the bag and the entire thing is waterproof!

I believe I could carry enough gear in this bag for an entire year's worth of fishing and never need to swap out any boxes or soft bags. I would almost swear it can hold more tackle than my first john boat!

I tried taking some pics but my phone's camera just couldn't do it justice so I downloaded a few from the website to include here. One of them shows the dimensions of the bag for reference. It is the largest bag in the picture of 3.

In all honesty, with my back issues I'm not sure I could carry this thing if it was full. I think I'm gonna have to break out my two-wheel hand cart for this one.

That's a cool looking bag there. You going to be able to lift it once you get it stocked?

That's awesome! you'll have to do a product review for the main site and then send them a link. Wait until late spring after you get some use on it but, doesn't look like you're gonna be disappointed at all.

For the price I don't think I could complain either way

Wow! Very cool!! That's a helluva of bag. It can also serve you as a suitcase.

I hope I never draw a co angler with that bag....

Does it have a TM mount and a battery compartment?

I buy some of their stuff from Amazon and have not been disappointed.

Since I'm Bank bound I finally got used to a backpack with 3 or 4 boxes and a few packs of plastics. And now they send me this

Any bigger and I probably could use it as a watercraft
