Piscifun Fishing Backpack, Rod Holders, Lightweight Sling Bag, Black

My son loves to fish and often treks through brush, etc. to get to the perfect spot. That means he not only carries a rod, but also bait (lures/minnows/worms), and anything else he needs. For Christmas I decided to get him something to help with carrying all that and started looking at fishing backpacks. I wanted something that had a more classic look, was not overly large, but still had enough space for all the extras. Based on reviews, I chose this one. It has a lot more interior size then I anticipated and is very well built. It has a loop to hold the rod to the backpack, plus various pockets for sundries. It also comes with a pack of lures already placed in a slim box that slips nicely into the backpack. While very light, it has a good rugged feel and the zipper moves freely. I also got him a collapsible fishing seat that fits nicely inside! He loves it and can't wait to use it!!

This is the best fishing backpack! There is plenty of room for all your tackle. The material feels durable and well made and the zipper and storage pockets works well.It's a very practical backpack for fishing if you ride a scooter, ride a bike or you walk to the lake I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient way to carry their fishing gear.

Very convenient backpack. This had a lot of pockets and was able to fit all of my stuff and easy to carry. I wish the straps could be adjusted more it was hanging hitting my behind everytime I walked

I rarely write reviews on items, but I often look at other people’s reviews before buying. I like this bag overall - it seems to be well made and I like the organization/pockets. I’m not going to use it for my regular fishing bag though, and here’s why. (Quick summary at bottom) Background- I fish in Illinois in freshwater ponds, lakes and rivers (mostly forest preserves) and do not fly fish at all. I set it up with my gear and used it for fishing 4 times. I bought 2 - Plano 3600 boxes and they took up the capacity of the main pocket (as advertised). In the 2nd largest pocket I was able to fit multiple bags of soft baits which was good. However, because I fish different water body types and fish differently when by myself vs with my kids (crank baits and soft baits when solo, live bait with bobbers with the kids) I found that it just doesn’t have enough room to fit everything I want to. That was ultimately my fault though for buying the standard size and not the larger bag. I could also just swap out 1 box when needed, but I’d rather have everything in 1 bag all the time in case I want to switch things up and to prevent forgetting to swap a box at home. I also feel like the main features why I chose this bag didn’t pan out. I don’t usually wear 2 backpack straps, I only wear backpacks with 1 over shoulder/ across chest strap. I liked that this bag was able to do both! However, with both straps zipped together, the strap was too wide and didn’t feel comfortable and dug into my neck when across chest. Simple fix, I only used 1 strap and tucked the other one into the back pocket out of the way, and that was fairly comfortable. Strap adjusting is kind of a pain though. Unlike a regular backpack which has the adjustment points on the chest so you can easily adjust it with 1 hand based on weight changes and stuff, these straps can only be adjusted at the bottom where it connects to the bag. It simply cannot be adjusted once it’s on. I typically wear a bag tightened when on my back and when I need to swing it around to access while wearing, I will loosen it before rotating it to the front. Can’t do that with this bag. The pole holder spot that I thought would be cool to carry a 2nd pole or net with me and out of the way is just impractical. The rod sticks up way too high if walking through any wooded areas with having 3’ + of rod above your head. I also had thought I could use it to store my rod while I need to tend to my kids (baiting theirs or removing fish) but it’s almost impossible to get in while wearing the bag. Quick Summary : I would recommend this if you are a true minimalist and carry only a little tackle - I could see this being perfect size for fly fishing. If you like carrying a wide variety of different tackle, it may not be for you. The build quality seems good, no loose threads and all zippers/velcro work well. The straps are hard to adjust while wearing and I did not find them comfortable as intended though. Pole holder ended up being impractical. I’m keeping the bag to use for fishing, it just won’t be my every day bag.

I have now had this backpack for three years and it works exactly has it had since day one. The zippers are still good. Every plastic piece is still intact. And I fish 2-4 times a week every week--rain, shine, wading, etc. It has never failed me or come close to it. I fly fish and it is comfortable to cast with. I have never ever had a problem with it while casting. It is fairly small, which I personally like in most settings, so be aware of that. Regardless, all at once I can get it to hold my phone, keys, several small to medium-sized fly boxes, sunscreen, sunglasses, fly fishing odds and ends, a snack, and... that's about it. You AREN'T going to get large fly boxes into it, it won't hold your shoes, you won't be able to pack several medium fly boxes + odds and ends + a large lunch, etc., etc. It works for what it is and is worth the cost.

Purchased 2 of these, one for a friend for taking up to the Sierras for trout fishing. These are small but perfect for our intended uses. It has a place on the left side to carry one rod with multiple straps to secure it. The main large compartment will hold multiple of small lure/hooks/weight boxes plus line spools and bait jars. The 2 back pack straps have a center zipper if you want to carry it with one large sling strap. Well made with lots of strap lugs to fasten pliers or other accessories. It is made/stitched well with medium thick material that feels it would repel water, seems durable.

Not sure why they don't give the liters, but I have the small one and it has a 10 liter capacity. Great pack for what it's intended for and it day trips to the water, not extended trips with huge amounts of tackle. Just enough for extra lures, line, and anything else you may need for a day on the water. Construction is durable and the split strap is a nice feature. The stitching is very good and the semi self sealing zippers are nice for a bag in this price range. Only thing I wish for is a dedicated net loop but one can improvise.

I purchased this backpack because it was one of the most inexpensive fishing backpacks that seemed to fit all of my needs, or at least I thought it did. My main requirements were: A secure place for my iPhone 14 Plus so I wouldn't accidentally drop it into a lake or pond. Enough room for two 3700 tackle boxes. Space for various fishing accessories, including gloves, disposable washcloths, pliers, large soft baits, fish scents, a small scale, scissors, and other small items. The main issue, and ultimately the reason I returned the backpack, was its lack of organization. It basically has only two large zippered compartments. While they are spacious, there are very few smaller pockets or compartments to keep items separated. As a result, everything moves around while walking. For example, fish scent bottles can end up on their sides and leak as the bag bounces around. Instead of my phone falling into the lake, it could end up swimming in fish scent. Unfortunately, I know this from past experience. Other tools and accessories also bounce around freely, which could potentially cause damage or wear over time. Aside from the lack of organization, the backpack seems to be well made, inexpensive, and versatile. If organization isn't a major concern for you, this could be a great fishing backpack. However, if you carry a lot of smaller items and want everything securely separated and easy to access, you may want to consider a different option.

I bought this bag thinking it would be good for downpour of rain and keeps inside dry. The zipper will let in water and with enough rain on it, the bag will start to absorb water on the outside and will not repel water. Other than that, if your use is for light rain and not wading through water than it is a decent bag for the price. I like it for the size and capacity but not what I would bring fishing through heavy rain and wading across river.

Very impressed with this fishing tackle bag. I do not think you can better it in any way there is a strap on the front to strap my fishing chair on this has to be one off my better purchases very pleased with bag.

Quality bag with ample pockets

Allows me to free up my hands and still have all the gear I need with me. Can keep it on my back while fishing and not likely to leave my bag sitting somewhere and walk off without it.

Fabulous, easy to use and carry, lots of pockets.
