Gear bag ideas

[MNCPRGUY]

I am looking for a bag to hold my odds and ends. A few small tackle boxes, a flashlight, maybe a thermos of coffee. I like the size and construction of the Clam flasher bag but the zipper aren't conducive to top loading. Definitely needs a waterproof base as I am using a hub style shelter more and more often.

I would appreciate any idea you have but not looking for a 5 gallon pail or cooler. Been there done that.

I have a duck blind bag that fits the bill. It just big enough for an FL-8 and 4 silos in the main compartment. It has a sort of fabric covered plastic bottom. I think it is a guide series, otherwise C store has some soft sided tackle boxes that have a hard plastic bottom.

Red and black Husky bags (variety of sizes) at Home Depot. Price is right, tough as nails.

Soft cooler.

Padded and pretty much water tight.

Bottom will get wet but not the contents.

5 gal pail cheaper and easy to find and carry

The 5 gallon pail doesn't work for a few reasons. Sometimes I pack a few food items and put it in the fridge the night before. Bucket doesn't fit. Sometimes I like to sit at the kitchen table and sort through my lures and what not. Wife will tolerate a bag that resembles a purse, but she wont allow a pail on the bale for any length of time! Lastly, I'd like to have a few compartments to keep things organized. A pocket for my gulp, maybe another for the pliers and flashlight. Bigger area in the middle for a beverage or two and the tackle.
