Van Staal Plug Bag- FYI

[NIB]

The bag in the link looks like the single row..
I have seen 3 different sizes of the precison pks bags..Very nice.If I didn't have a Large AS bag a single row VS bag Several canyon bags a Plano bag a VS Coastal bag i would get one..
The big bag comes with 2 plano type boxes,smaller ones that fit in front of the tubes..
Seemed like a real nice bag..Plenty of velcro..Mesh pockest on the side I would probably cut off as mesh can be a pita with hooks..
There's lots of room in there if u take the plano boxes out..
Cost less then the tube replacemnts. for the VS bag..'
As u can tell I have a few bags I change the inserts from one to the next from time to time..
My AS bag is one of the first models.There was no room along side the insert for anything. I like to jam that area with plastics an stuff so I switched it out with a old canyon bag insert..
There is a mailing tube company that makes the tubes the same type tubes that are in the coastal bags..There nice heavy material..Drill a million very small holes in the botton of the tubes..Silicone em together with a wrap of clear plastic mailing tape to hold together while the glue dries..
Small holes don't get hook points in em lots of holes drain the water..
At home fishing sometimes I find it easier to have a nightime bag an a daytime bag..
U can ease this if u make another set of inserts...

The Prec Pak bags now have a 3" wide velcro strip the length of the flap - they did not originally - I did not get them until late in the year but I tell ya - they look really good for the money. They are about the same price as Canyon - but 3X better.
The large bag - for some reason they put two rows of plug tubes and then two Plano boxes - but I'm going to ask the guy about just putting three rows of tubes...

I would love to see that bag without the plano boxes. Like Nib said the medium bag could stand to lose the mesh on the side.

I had the large BW bag for 3 seasons. For 40 bucks it did its job. The only complaint was the stupid mesh pocket on the side. I got 3 plugs so tangled in that one night I almost donated the whole back to the bottom of the ocean. After that I went home and cut the hole mesh thing off. It was a solid bag for the money but I got a small aquaskinz bag at the end of the season and thats all I use now. There is no need to bring more than 5 plugs out to fish with you. Most of the time the plugs don't get touched anyways.

I agree that you only need a few plugs at a time but I get alot of enjoyment from having more than a few with me. For instance if I catch 5 fish on 5 casts with a pencil I might switch to a spook to see if I can get them on that. Then I follow it up with a danny or maybe a popper. Also need room for the finnish swimmers, darter, and needles I needed before it got light out. That's more than 5 already.
