Surf Bags , etc
This came up on a different thread and I thought it deserved its own thread. The question was about bags but it was buried in a plug swap thread. What surf bags , jig bags , can you buy and what can you make , etc. brand names , cost , Home made designs...........
I once made a bag with an old camera bag and the tubes made by cutting the tops off old plastic soda bottles (5 cent deposit). The bag was great and lasted about 12 years! It finally died when the nylon on the camera bag ripped.
My canal jigging bag is made about the same but uses a very small Samsonite bag (very sturdy , heavy material) which holds 4 tubes from soda bottles and has some small zippered pockets for odds and ends on the sides. the main bag has a flap with a buckle clip closure. I'd say its about 3" thick by 6" wide by 8" deep. The thing is great for the canal. I can't imagine a better bag for the purpose intended. It holds about 8 pounds of jigs. seperate tubes for the balls in 2 sizes , Smilin Bills in 3 sizes , skinjigs , and still plenty of space for curltails , Fin S , and GS mega jerks as needed. Leaders , pliers , taspe measure , etc in the extra pockets on the outside.
