Piscifun Fishing Backpack with Rod Holder, Lightweight Sling Bag Storge Gear and Equipment

Meets my needs for pond fishing. A little smaller than I imagined. Good quantity and stitches seem to be very tight and strong.

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.

Looks great, quality, plenty of room, great size for a kid. I will get one for a day pack/camp sling. Nice it turns into a backpack or sling.

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'm giving this an actual 4.5 stars. While the bag is very good, there are some cons. I bought the standard size since I'm just starting to fish again casually and do not plan to overload on fishing supplies. The khaki color is nice, I stay away from camouflage because I like to see where my bag is. The interior is spacious enough for me, it will definitely fit 2 x 3600 tackle boxes. I only have 1 x 3600, so I was able to throw in some towels, bobbers (probably don't need to carry that many), bait, and still have some room left for other things. The big front pocket is flat with zipper access on both sides, I was only able to put a pack of senko and a pack of rubber O-rings; basically nothing bulky. There is another pocket on the front but the access is this awkward angled zipper and my medium sized hand barely fits in it. I end up not putting anything in it. The front molle system could be useful for some things. I thought it would be perfect to clip my pliers but the belt clip on the sheath are high; so when I clip it to the top molle, it extends pass the bottom of the bag. I can imagine if I drop the bag down, the thing would pop off and I might lose the sheath. So I clipped it up there and secured it with that big strap. I probably won't use the rod holder, not planning to hike into a fishing spot. Could be useful for other people. Water bottle holder is ok size, fits my Yeti 18 oz rambler snuggly. Anything larger will not fit. I don't understand the function of the 2 cord locks that's on the strap that secures the water bottle through the top. I end up removing them. I plan to wear it mainly in backpack mode, it's more comfortable. The belt strap is cumbersome to put on and take off. There is no quick release buckle on it, just an adjustable strap with carabiner on both ends. I can see the usefulness of wearing it as a sling, it can be easier to access your bag without taking it off. Lots of D-rings all over, I don't even know what to use them for. Everything is plastic to save on weight, hopefully they don't break too soon. Overall it's a very good bag for my needs. I haven't taken it out yet to fully test it but hope to soon.

Nice smaller fishing backpack with plenty of pockets & room for your essentials.

A little small, but for perfect for short fishing trips, keeping it light, and to a minimum. Good quality, and i love the options of carrying it! Arrived on time.

It's ok, good creek size and bike size. No info with it to figure out all of its uses. Feels fairly sturdy. Hopefully it lasts.

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.

This bag can hold a full day of gear that you need for a day on the river bank. Wading with this bag is a breeze.

Pedí la mochila mas chica, es muy cómoda, prácticamente le cabe lo que requieres para la pesca, un par de cajas de aparejos que fue lo mas grande que empaque y para el resto de accesorios, tiene bolsas suficientemente grandes. En cuanto al material, se siente resistente así como los accesorios, costuras y el acabado son de buena calidad. La estrené en una jornada de pesca, llama mucho la atención el color y su diseño.

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.

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.
