Just something to entertain. My son hates his hard tackle box. Similar to the one blow. We have been looking for a soft tackle box for him. While we looked I let him borrow an old backpack. It's 20 years old. The reason I know this it was the "daddy diaper bag" I had from when he was little. Turns out it makes a great tackle backpack. May want to see if you have any old backpacks laying around. They work great.

Friggin Great Idea and I do have my son’s old backpack. I will look into it.
Thanks for the solid!

I'll second a slight re-purposing. I've been using Gill laptop computer bags for 10+ years (on my second but the first was still going strong when I swapped out). Plenty of zipper pockets and enough room for multiple boxes/soft plastic binder. The zippers have held up well, but my bag lives in the forward hatch when fishing or in the tackle room when idle.

Zika, another great idea.

I mainly fly fish, so not an issue, but use artificials with a few friends and family.

I will loo into your idea too.

ChapStik works too

Exactly what I plan to do on the next bag, no matter what.
