Finally, something built right. The bag itself is a tank — users report loading it with 30-40+ pounds of gear and tossing it around boats for years without failure. The heavy-duty fabric, robust zippers, double stitching, and waterproof molded base consistently impress even skeptical anglers.
- •Rock-solid construction: One user says they have probably 30-40 pounds of gear in it and it's held up great, they've tossed it around and it's never given up, zippers work great. Another calls it their best tackle bag ever owned after years of use.
- •Premium materials that last: Reviews praise the high-denier fabric, marine-grade zippers, and rigid waterproof base with rubber feet. Multiple users view this as a buy once cry once investment that will last decades.
- •Major red flag: The included plastic tackle boxes are universally panned as flimsy junk with weak latches — a bizarre corner-cutting move on a $95 premium bag. Most users immediately replace them with better Plano Edge boxes.
Bottom line: The bag itself earns its BIFL status through bombproof construction, but dock half a point for those garbage included boxes. If you budget another $30-50 for proper tackle trays, you've got a legitimate 20+ year fishing companion.
