Have him make one for less than 8 thousand bucks!

I could care less about custom features on a bag. At the end of the night/day I use two or three plugs a couple jigs. If someone can makes bag for 100 or under that serves our community with out having to spend ten minutes pulling hooks out of material they will sell thousands of em.

MAK makes EXACTLY that bag, both in a tall and a short, made in the USA, both under $100.

Here's one of the bags I have had for over 20 years. It is $45 now. I think I paid $25 with the inserts

I bought that exact bag 2 years ago Pete, great little bag. Wear it right on my belt. Very lightweight & durable. Room for bucktails and leader material. I also use a second smaller pouch with plastic insert, on my belt for some riggies. I found it made me think more about the areas I fish, and what I'll be throwing, and plan accordingly on what I carry. I end up with 7-8 plugs instead of 25+. That doesn't work for everyone and a lot of guys feel better knowing they have any plug they want, at any time. I just found that when I carry that many plugs to some of these places, I end up reaching for the same 4-5 "confidence" plugs anyway. I will say that it's not my every night bag, and there are nights when I'm going to be a long way from my truck, when I would just rather carry my plug bag to be sure I have what I need, but it is a very versatile bag.

Unless the design changed in the last year only the middle picture is the $100 angler. Top and bottom are the $200 surfcaster. My angler has gotten a lot of use the last 2 seasons and looks like it may holds up a couple more.
