People ask us time to time on how our gear works for fishing.
We don’t make fishing-specific gear, but some of our products work quite well for it.
If you are planning to wade, consider the Rintamus chest pack. It keeps small fishing gear close at hand and higher above the water. Add a Med organizer for leader spools, indicators, floatant and other small items. Line cutters, pliers or a Multitool pouch can be attached to the external webbing.
The Askare hip pack offers more carrying capacity and plenty of room for organization. A Med organizer works here too. It's a good option when fishing from the bank or staying in shallower water. The Valjas EX harness, coupled with suitable SR buckles or G-hooks, can also be used to turn the Askare hip pack into a chest pack.
If you are hiking with a larger backpack and doing some fishing along the way, strap the Hatka on to it and use it as a daypack once you reach the water. The Hatka can also be rolled down small and stoved away easily, when not in use. The Hatka 12L can be used for carrying fly or lure boxes, a spare reel, food and extra clothing. But it is much more handy to keep smaller items such as tippet spools in your jacket or somewhere else easy to reach.
If you are taking a rod tube on a longer trip, choose a backpack with side pockets and compression straps for securing long gear. Not every backpack has them, so check before heading out. The Kantamus backpacks are one suitable option.
