High Country by Fishpond
« on: April 24, 2009, 06:53:58 AM »
I really out the chest/backpack to use in Tellico last weekend for 3 dayS, carried 2 large C&F boxes, leaders/tippet, 2 different types of flotant, splitshot, hydration bladder, plenty of snacks, rain jacket, 40 caliber, 1st aid kit, headlamp & had room for the DSLR if i could have found the dry bag :-\ with room for more :o
The adjustment straps eased any fatigue i've had with other packs of this nature, if it just had a strap to carry a rod tube, i could give it a 100% rating.
What more do you need?

buying a fishpond was the end of backaches for me. I had a crap cabelas vest that i wore for a couple of years and that thing was a back killer. with the fishpond you can adust the straps and make the load more evenly distributed.

I have the wildhorse, i think, whichever one is the biggest. I think it has a rod tube strap. It has some wierd thing on the back with shock cord that looks like it would hold a tube.

that shock cord is specifically designed for a bottle of JD   ;)
