Cabelas Combo Bag by Croxton

[zamboni]

Was at Cabelas today, and picked one of these up because my HT bag was getting kinda full with 5 combos in it. Its a green and black bag with Cabelas in big lettering on the side and is made by Croxton. Says it holds 6 combos, and I know Croxton makes good bags, so I thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. I can barely fit my 5 in it, I have no clue how they figure 6 will fit. Might switch back to the HT bag. Anyone else have one of these? I am pretty disappointed in it

I picked up the same bag a few days ago, but have yet to put any combos in it yet.I bought it to supplement my JR's bag, which I have used for a couple of years.I figured for a few bucks why not get the Cabelas bag.Maybe I will have to relinquish it to a perch rig only bag, or something like that.If 6 rigs won't go, I am not going to even try to put my Thorne Bros. rods in, risking blowing up a rod or two.

6 might be pushing it for almost any rod bag. Did you collapse the reel handles and use rod slicks? that usually buys enough room for another combo or aleast a little more wiggle room for the rest.

[rockman]

Yep, I usually collapse the handles.If five rods/reels is the limit, so be it.I guess my previous point is not to shove spendy rods in a bag just to max it out,because it says it can/should hold six rods/combos.If I spent big cash on the bag,then I would expect it to have room for six and then some.No big deal with this one.

I totally agree with you on that one definitely not worth breaking an expensive combo to get them all in a cheap case. I have been using a hard arrow case made by MTM I think it works pretty good for 4 combos but you can get 5 if you really push it I think I paid around $15-20 for it but I may have to up grade to a gun case if my rod buying keeps up.

I am a Cabela's man all the way, but the best bags I found were at Scheel's. They are only a 2 rod case but are very nice for the price I am not certain but I think they were around $10 a piece, check them out!!!
