Hi Gents!

I have ben using a Rapala Sling bag for little while which is great but occasionally i would like a bit more room to store waterproofs of water. I have been looking at the Sakura Koa which looks quite nifty but I am concered as to how big the back pack is (i.e. I dont want somethng that will only hold a mars bar as long as you cut it into pieces and jam them in) and secondly which of the Sakura lure packs is it designed to hold in the front pockets?? I assume it is the 145 double side but I am not sure.
Has anyone out there got one of these or are they just a gimmick?????:-?

Rich - just got one for fathers day. Front two pockets will take the 145 and similar size. Just managed to put my slippers in the back pocket and get the zip closed! There are previous posts on guys who have used them for a season.

There is a Sakura Fish Trek Bag which is bigger.

The fish trek looks good think im gonna invest,The rapala sling bag would be perfect if it had room for a drink .

As easy to use as the Rapala Sling Bag but with a lot more room and two mesh side pockets for drinks.
Ive only just got a Sakura Dekra bag or I would of got one for myself.
