Full Review
The Plano Z-Series backpack is the best way to carry a full day's worth of tackle when you do not have a boat to set it in. It holds five 3700 trays in a well-organized backpack format with padded straps and a water-resistant base. Kayak anglers love it because it rides behind the seat, and wade fishermen like that both hands stay free. It is not cheap at $60, but it replaces a tackle bag, a backpack, and a lot of frustration.
