blue patagonia backpack Black Hole 32L - Endless With two spacious side pockets for water bottles and an internal zip pocket for valuables Patagonia Refugio Day 26L Backpack-Vessel

I favour Korda Boom in 25lb with the ESP Curve in a size 4, this pattern has a short point and wider gape (the gap between eye and point of the hook), giving better hooking efficiency

Backpackers who choose to keep the top lid are then carrying around extra weight to no purpose (unless they are brave enough to cut it off permanently)

The coating also enhances the line's overall durability and longevity

When it comes to these situations, the rod, reel and line matter as much or more to the overall presentation than the bait itself

The top of the shoulder straps connect to form a sturdy handle, which is extremely, ahem, handy
