Do they do one with a small seat or would that increase the weight too much and defeat the purpose ?

He attaches it with a couple of reusable zip ties.

Re: Spro Freestyle Backpack ?
i use what Daniel suggest's Molles style military bags, i have one of them in medium i think and a Karrimor Molle style bag from sports direct- its superb!
to save some space, and to make them easy to get to i have my unhooking tools hooked/karabinered to the Molle points
if i want or need to take few more bits i use the Military one, i think mine is a Mil-tec one from Military1st
after using Molle style bags for couple of sessions, i sold all my fishing branded 'lure' bags bar one that i use as storage at home.

Re: Spro Freestyle Backpack ?
I use a karrimor hiking rucksack which I got in a sale. Has outer straps which can hold unhooking tools/carabenas. If I didn’t have this, I would definitely be looking at an army surplus bag. Far superior in quality and lower priced than a tackle brand. +1 for military 1st. Great service. Ordered a jacket last year and turned up in a couple of days in very good packaging.

One of the other guys might be able to check for you.
Do you really need three boxes? That's a lot of lures!

Cracking rucksack - mine arrived yesterday. And it fits in the 3 boxes plus my other gear. Can’t wait to use it now. Cheers!
