Allen Company Fly Fishing Packs, Fishing Backpacks, Small to Extra Large Packs

This pack is compact, light and perfectly laid out for a minimalist fly or spin Fisher. The drop down rod tube holders on each side are a great addition. I do a lot of hiking through low hanging tree limbs and such and while I carry my spinning rod in hand I can also carry my fly rod tube securely and still have room for my reel & fly boxes in case I want to switch. My rain coat rolls neatly at the bottom with compression straps (which are liberally located around the pack). It swings easily to convert to a sling pack and the zippers are good and sturdy. For a full day, carry all excursion this pack will accommodate everything you need. I really like it. Comfortable, sturdy & well made.

Really awesome bag for the price. Lots of storage room , and zippers are strong , and easy to manipulate especially with one hand. Feels good on the back , comfortable shoulder straps , with a clip for across the chest. Really satisfied with the bag and its price

Good solid pack with more than enough pockets and features such as the drop down rod holders etc. super comfortable on my 110kg frame and still so after 10-12km days. Bought the micro chest pack that clips to front, yes separate purchase but that’s pretty obvious despite what a couple of other reviews say, not sure how you can screw that up thinking it comes with the chest pack unless you only look at pictures…. For me an ideal system just what I was looking for. What it needs…. A net loop. Yes there’s the carry handle strap at the top but bet I pull that off tugging net of magnet. More elastic loops on straps to tuck loose/excess straps into. Could be approx 20% bigger in the main compartment. Lunch, light jacket, hydration pack, all good but once I bailed out of some other layers on a warming day got a bit crowded. Not a major issue. It’s not designed as an over night pack so plan for the day ahead and what “has” to be carried. All in all really pleased with the purchase, the quality and the system

I live in Alaska and I carry a lot of gear when I go fishing, partly because I am out all day and the weather is changeable and partly because I carry a lot of safety gear such as first aid, survival gear, etc. I have been struggling to find a fishing bag that can carry all this stuff and often end up carrying a backpack as well as a sling pack; it's not exactly ergonomic. This pack can handle all my gear and it's very comfortable, you barely know you have got it on your back. the durability of the fabric is good but some of the stitching could be reinforced especially on the attachment points on the outside of the pack. the only other thing that could be improved is that I would like to see an attachment point on the shoulder straps to clip a set of hemostats or some nippers but what do you want for your money.

This thing is great. Tons of pockets for all the knick knacks, probably a dozen separate compartments with zippers. Feels real solid, zippers are large and sturdy. The 'rod' holders on both sides are a little unnecessary I think but I've utilized one of them for my folding net and the other I will just keep as a bottle holder Only complaint is it is pretty heavy on its own but from what I can tell its due to the durability of the thing, you can just tell its well built. 10/10 exactly what I was looking for, and now I have something to ask for xmas from the misses (the chest pack that attaches) I will say that the pictures do not do it justice. The colour is nicer in my opinion (a little darker) and the material is much higher quality than what I'm seeing in the pictures.
