>>648434>>648446I've actually not seen the design from the article for sale anywhere. The write-up got my attention but when I searched for them it seems that they redesigned (pic related) at some point. It's as heavy as it is convenient. If I could recommend anything it would be to try to find one in store to make sure you want it. Try to picture it with all the added weight if you plan on loading twelve slim 3600s in it.
>Does that one have a thicker rubber base on mine? If you can find one, about a quarter of the Hydro Flo model's height is the draining base. They've gotten scarce. The regular "Guide Series" bags just feature a sort of thick, moulded, waterproof bottom but don't stand quite as high as a result.
>I don't really like how some of these newer bags ... seem way larger than mine because of padding and pockets that stick out real far. A valid concern. The side pockets have built in hand-holds and are shaped to hold things like sunglasses but they do stick out a bit compared the the rest of the pack as a result.
>it says it comes with 5x3700 boxes and 2x3600 boxes.Mine included six 3750 style boxes (five inside and one on the lid). A result of the redesign I imagine.
> also like how it has that little plastic pouchThat was kept through the redesign and is pretty nice. I will say that in the rain or if the lid gets sufficiently soaked water will eventually make its way into that pouch. Use zip-locks if you're gonna stick non-waterproof maps or the sort in there.
>This pic shows Power Bait in it. I had to take a Dremel to a 3700 box and cut out the dividers so Power Bait bags would fit better in there.The 3750's actually feature oversized compartments where the front two rows would be in a standard 3700. Something to consider; might save you some dremeling in the future. I too like to keep my soft plastics bagged up until use.
