BTW after you open the link if you click on "click here for additional image" you get a good view of the velcro closure.

I know it is being picky but the velcro should go to the top of the bag. if you put oversize plugs that stick out of the tube you can barely attach the velcro.

Yeah, those look like pretty short plugs, Dave, have you fished big plugs in your bag last season?

the plugs in the precision pack pic are large but if you want to put mulitiple plugs in a bag without getting to tangeled you have to hang them like the aqua skinz bag below.

We're over anylizing. The precision pack is good for the price. The Aquaskinz bag is better. Time to step away from the computer.

I have used plastic shampoo bottles as plug tubes for years - very light in weight and they last a few seasons. You'll always have new ones available (as long as you keep washing your hair). I cut the tops off and poke a few holes in the bottom for drainage. I'll post a few photos tonight.

I hear ya Mike.

Though it's hard to tell from the photo where the velcro ends is the top of the front pocket (additional pocket) for leaders and stuff. It has a long flap and that area of velcro is double wide to give additinal clearance and the ability to close higher if necessary. It can handle most of what we would carry but once you get to plugs 9" or greater they'll stick out of most any bag. What I do at that point with whatever bag I'm using is put them in the end tube towards my back so the plug protrudes but the flap can close flush. The bags with the inner flaps are nice in those instances.

No Andy I didn't use it with any large plugs in it last year.

Like Tony I have bags by VS, Aquaskinz, Canyon, Plano and the Ocean Shield Precision Pak.

For the money it appears to be a winner.

And yes we are over analyzing this.
