Tall/small Aquaskinz has done me well on a belt (haven't been able to get used to casting with a strap over the PFD I wear) - the belt also holds the pliers, lip gripper. The bag slides round easily to the front and is very accessible and comfortable.

It carries a line of tubes, a smallish tackle box, jigs and has enough space at the front for my leader pouch.

The only gripe that I have is that the woven material has a really annoying tendency to snag on the hook barbs from the lures in the tube which can make things interesting trying to remove them...

those tubes are a little on the heavy side.

TBD- I had alot of problems with the medium AS bag. Straps ripped off after 3/4 of a striper season. I like the bag, so I brought another. But I think I like the VS bag better .

i had the same problem twice. supposedly, its been resolved on newer bags, but i switched to the vs so I don't know.

the straps on the belt bags get pretty torn up too, i wrap them in duct tape where they come in contact with the belt and that seams to get rid of that issue

Had the same problem with my bag. Sewed a 1" strap all the way around the inside using braid for thread. I know you shouldn't have to do this but the bag has been find ever since.

If you take the tubes out it makes a nice jig bag though.

It works a lot better than the method they use in the emergency room : )
