Wild River 3508 Multi-Tackle Small Backpack

I have been using this product for a couple of months now. I wanted to actually give it a thorough usage before writing the review.I had no choice but to give the backpack a 5 star rating. The zippers work great and do not bind, actually I have never had one bind on me. The zippers are of good quality and are not flimsy like many I have looked at. Now I am probably putting this back pack through a little more stress because I use it to fish salt water. So it gets rinsed off after each fishing trip because it gets salt water on it. It appears to have good sealing because I have not gotten any water on the inside. I use all of the compartments and they are of good size and quality as well.The only negative that I have about the package is the utility trays. First off it only comes with two (needs four). Secondly the trays are cheap and generic. I upgraded to the Wild River PT3500 because they have much better snaps for the locking of the trays.So because of the lack of two additional trays and the construction of the two they sent, it deducts one star.

I really like this pack. I have a big spiderline pack for when I go surf fishing for stripers and bluefish but this is that pack I use for fishing rivers and lakes in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Berkshires. It’s very comfortable for hiking deep into the woods to find the right hole in a stream. It sits high and tight on my back which is very helpful for me with my balance when scrambling over rocks. I have a nice 4 piece spinning rod that easily lashes to the pack for transport. It also sits up nicely on its own when pulling out trays to try new lures or flies.

Its pretty small, but is perfect for what i wanted. A little pricey for what it is! I pier fish for kings and spanish. I wanted something i could put more tackle in and also store frozen bait in. I was hoping that the top cavity would hold my cooler but the void was to small. But i was able to use the (2) supplied trays in the top and remove the plastic cooler insert from my lil cheapy lunch cooler and fit it into the bottom void perfectly. So it works for me...

This bag is perfect! A lot more sturdier than my cheap academy bag! Glad I purchase this item. Wish I can get a matching plier holster. Great size perfect for my needs!

Meets and exceeds my expectations. I use it for work and work stuff, because I don't care much for fishing. I like how I can get into the front of it without it laying down. Well insulated, keeps my lunch cold and holds alot while protecting everything on the inside.

Inside liner has ripped already! Just bought for Christmas. Ripped after a couple months of use. Half the liner inside is ripped away and fraying.

It’s a very well constructed bag. Has a ton of compartments. I do wish it had a cup holder and it could’ve had something like built in nail clippers for the price that you pay.

Giving it 4 stars only because my son hasn’t used it yet to determine if it was worth the purchase but appears it’s gonna be good.
