I use the canyon three row, an aquaskinz belt bag and small pouch. I keep my plastic in the aquaskinz, wood in the canyon, and storm shads/rubber in the pouch.
If im fishing a spot where i wont be moving around much sometimes ill leave the canyon on the shore behind me, always checking on it tho....

I made one last year out of pvc pipe. Cut it to the length of the longest plug, made 6, duct taped them together, and then built a bag to fit around. Despite the fact that it's no longer pretty (trim is coming off, side mesh pockets ripped to shreds), it still functions very well. I'd suggest the canvas fabric, plastic clips (not velcro), and grommets in the bottom for drainage as main points. And the thing only costs about $20 to make.

I don't think it's possible to catch fish with a "pretty" bag.

but the price is right for this Scotsman .

The ones I got were PVC I think I just cemented them together with that foul smelling PVC glue. Just put a bunch down the side and hold together, make whatever configuration you want, then put in a bag or crate. My brother in law does boat canvas work so I had him make a bag to fit the tubes. You can cap the bottom so the hooks don't get stuck in the bottom of the tube, always happen's when fish are breaking. Drill hole for drainage. P.

I got sick of the round tubes in my bag always coming unglued and slipping around in the bag. I took two plano plastic boxs and cut the latch side off on the saw. I drilled a 1/4" holes in the bottom of the divisions for drainage and I epoxied a few 3/4" spacers between the hinged sides and slipped the asssembly into my bag. They fit tight, but they hold a dozen plugs with plenty of tin in the spaces created with the spacers between the boxs.. when the bag becomes jumbled because of dumping the gear inside, I simply yank the insert out and open the boxs to clean up the gear.

The only gripe I have with all the bags is that they are not deep enough to handle big wood!

I wrap duct tape around all the tubes after they are glued together. Never have come apart. There must be about a million ways to carry your gear. P.

plan 'b'
thesurfcater sells plastic custom inserts for 7 [ 4 big plug 3 needle/small]
or 5 big plugs ...
because they are one peice and made to drain its kinda the end price of going through your own trouble....labour...
they are a little heavier than the tubes from njt but SOLID.
looks exactly like the picture i posted just one piece

Thanks everyone for some great ideas on hauling timber down the beach .
Now if everyone who posted a response would please send me 1 plug , I'll be glad to field test them on California stripers.
