Good or is there something better value out there ?

I need a bit of room to be fair for water and lunch as I am diabetic

Great bit of kit, available in different sizes if you need bigger.

Thanks Dan

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

They don't, but my mate carries one of these for when he needs a rest.
He attaches it with a couple of reusable zip ties.

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.

Me too mate, way better than tackle shop stuff, especially for mobile lure fishing. I use Wisport sparrows from Military 1st.

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.

Would you say there is enough space in the main compartment to carry 3 lure boxes sized 28x18x5cm? If so, this could be the perfect solution for my canal sessions...

I think so, although I don't have mine to hand to measure it.
One of the other guys might be able to check for you.

Do you really need three boxes? That's a lot of lures!

To be fair, it will most likely be just the 2 but it’s always nice to know it can fix an extra one!
