Do you also make a six tube bag?

How much did you spend on materials?

Neat! Pondered making one for a while. To do list is just that though.

I like the configuration. Same as a single row yet looks more compact.

The most annoying thing about all plug bags ,to me is fighting the flap .. Got jam it in behind while your working a plug out, then surf, whatever makes it fall forward when your half way out with your plug .. pia .. Always wished the flap went forward ,,yea but then it wouldn't close secure ..i know ,. gotta be a way .. Your square design could be a side flap .. just jam those other flaps inside .. Would love to see a more easy access bag .. Did you sew that ?

so your true avocation is to be a seamstress?

That's what I would suggest. That bag is impressive.

Will all of the garage plug bag builders taking root these days we may need a new forum: Got Bags? Custom Tackle Bags, Curtains, and Seamstressnessing

Seriously - looks sweet George. Now embed a pigs ear into it so it can be retrieved by the local dog.

George,
That is one real nice live eel bag - I thought you were strictly a plugger?

All kidding aside - nice work. Is it dacron?

that is great. I have been working on a design and am ready to make the pattern. I was also wondering if you used dacron and if so, how hard is it to sew?

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I used military spec 1000 denier nylon, Dennis. Might try one out of 10oz dacron sail cloth (but I think this codura stuff is tougher). The tubes and end caps were the toughest part to find (easy in retrospect, however). Bought an ancient heavy weight homestyle Singer sewing machine, which was adequate but far from ideal.

It actually turns out to be not that difficult. Figuring out the layout, cutting stuff, and getting the assembly sequence right is harder than the sewing part (which obviously I suck at). Thank god for seam rippers. The material cost is not much, maybe 20-30 bucks a bag, half of which is the tubes. The equipment cost to do it right, however, could get steep. It was fun and I'm sure I'll make some more..........once I finish the pink frilly tutu that Back Beach needs to fish a plug.

Hey Mike, I still think it would make a better eel tote. Has nice belt loops, leader/eel rag pocket. I'm sure it has some grommets for drainage. Who would have thought George would come up with developing the first custom eel tote? Do you think George would make us one? It will now be forever known as the "Numbskull Eel Tote". Aquaskinz or VS might be copying it soon
