Custom Leathercraft Wild River CLC WT3505 Tackle Tek Mission Lighted Convertible Tackle Bag with Four PT3500 Trays, Small

Ok. Smack down between the wildriver nomad and the Calissa offshore bag. First of all the Calissa is a larger bag. I PUT the exact same items in the top portion of both bags and the Calissa had more space left in the top. I was able to add two bananas one 16oz water and two apples in the Calissa bag but the Wild river was filled to the top after placing the same items in. Also the side pockets on the Calissa are larger and deeper and the Calissa can hold five 3600 boxes where the wildriver can only hold four max. I I couldn't stuff a fifth box in the wild river if I tried. Now for the quality the wildriver is much better made. The canvas type material is thicker and better. The zippers are heavy duty with two zippers per pocket where the Calissa bag only has one zipper and are cheaper made. The lighting system on the wild river is very nice but I just needed more space. I wanted to use the wildriver for my lake and river fishing and the Calissas for my ocean shore and boat fishing but now I'll have to switch them around because the Calissa holds more and when I lake fish I bring the kitchen sink. I fish for Crappie, Bass,catfish,trout,stripe bass and bluegills so I need all my equipment for each species of fish when I take my boat out. I guess I'll have to order another backpack bag for my sacramento river fishing not sure. The wild river bag used to be made with three pockets on each side which would have given it more storage space. O well there's my smack down on the two bags. If you don't take a lot of tackle get the wild river it's really a good well made bag and should work for most anglers it's just that I take a lot of gear. I STAND CORRECTED REGARDING THE ZIPPERS THE CALISSA BAG DOES HAVE TWO ZIPPERS ON SOME POCKETSVBUT NOT THE TOP ONES AND AGAiN THE ZIPPERS ARE NOT AS LARGE AND WELL MADE AS THE WILDRIVER BAG. Today 12-6 -2019 additional g to this smack down. I have used the Calissa bag four time now and have noticed the elasticity on the bag where you would place pliers is starting to sag like all elastic items. Checked the same loops on the wildriver bag and they are made of strong canvas type material so with that bag I won't have the stretching issues which will soon make those hanging loops useless. Today is Feb 7, 2020 and I'm here to report that my blackstar Calissa back pack fishing bag developed a tare and the stiching on one of the bottom pads is coming lose. As I ordered another large bag the BASSDASH The company decided to send me another Calissa back pack so now I have three. I will tell you that the wild river back is the best constructed. It has very heavy thick canvas type material but just to small for me. Now this new BASSDASH backpack that just arrived is very good quality also and the stitching is well done just not quite thick of material as the wildriver bag but much larger. Both side pockets are much larger and to front pockets are very large you can compare the sizes on Amazon. The BASADASH is my go to bag unless wild river matches its size in the future and design their pockets to fill even from top to bottom. With the wild river pockets they tapper at the bottom so you lose storage space. This makes bags made like this look sleek but I'm after space and usage not looking good. The only thing that I'm worrying about regarding the BASSDASH bag is that the hard bottom is covered by fabric and it has no pads on the bottom. I do lots of shore fishing on rocks and rough ground so I'm curious to see how the bottom holds up. Aslo this bag has smaller shoulder straps than the wild river bag and not as good padding so for long trips to the water this is going to be a problem but over all a very good bag to purchase.

This Custom Leathercraft Wild River CLC backpack is a game-changer! The design is well-thought-out, with plenty of storage compartments to keep tools organized and easily accessible. The built-in LED light is a fantastic feature for working in low-light conditions. The backpack is sturdy, comfortable to carry, and made of high-quality materials that can withstand tough environments. Perfect for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike—highly recommended!

What a great tackle bag! I have been looking for a small but roomy tackle bag that could keep my fishing tackle organized and accessible. This is it!! I don't have a ton of tackle, but like to keep a little bit of everything I need to catch a wide variety of fish. This is a high quality bag which demonstrates great attention to detail. It was clearly designed by someone who uses such things! Heavy duty zippers. Four heavy duty plastic trays with adjustible dividers. The bag itself has several pockets for storage; two that run the full length of the bag and two on the ends for things such a fishing line or power bait. There is also an awesome pocket for one of your trays, so you can keep the tackle you need most right at hand with any need to unzip your bag. There is a clear plastic pocket on the inside of the top for things such as your phone or even a license. The inside of the bag is bright orange making visibility easy. The bag comes with some neat bonuses, like a clip-on light, a D-ring clip, a removable pliars sheath as well as a retractable fob for clippers. I've spent my life fishing and have never found a tackle bag better suited to my needs. The bonuses are a wonderful extra touch that continue the feeling of quality. Almost wish I had more stuff so I could justify buying another one. :) I am very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it for other anglers looking for a bag of this size!

Great tackle bag, not too big, not too small.

So I started fishing again after about a 6 year pause (don't ask). I have always been privy to small, simple tackle boxes. But after a few trips to a spot where we found some great fishing, at a place that requires climbing over a lot of large boulders; I decided I needed something that would free up my hands. I shopped around some big box wilderness stores and was going to buy a backpack type tackle box, but they always seemed like too much. Just by chance, I saw this little beauty on Amazon. I love it. It holds way more than my traditional tackle box, yet is smaller in size. It is very mobile allowing me to hike and climb into several spots easier than I had been. Plus, I don't have to put it down while fishing. This makes it so I can change tackle, etc., without having to return to the spot where I laid my tackle box down...like I used to have to do. It is a pretty cool design. Makes it easier to have fun, and have everything with me. Love it.

This thing is simply great. I kayak fish a lot and this works perfectly.. It is well built, well designed and very well thought out. It has became the only tackle box I take to the water. I do have other large tackle boxes, but I stock this one from them for each specific trip and then restock it for the next. It has pockets, pouches, well placed zippers and even a very unique LED light. that can be fixed in place taking advantage of a long goose-neck to manipulate to place the light exactly where you want it. It also has a pliers pouch right on top where it is most convenient. So why the four stars??. It turns out that the pictured Plano boxes were replaced with cheaper, like boxes. I chucked the inferior ones that came with and bought similar boxes form Home Depot that were the exact same dimensions and much better built. I am very happy with what I have and would even buy the item again and then do the same switcheroo with the boxes. Of course it would have been better if it came with the boxes as pictured.
