>>2569621you'd be surprised how often people do this when finesse fishing. it's always an unnecessarily large hook too with a big barb so you can't work it loose.
>>2569626I intentionally bought a shallow two compartment basic pack because my emphasis was on minimalism and light weight. tacticool or big multipouch ones are good if you want to carry a lot of shit though. another hack is that you could buy a cheap "battle belt" and have modularity for different outings. pieces can add up though, even if it's noname chinese stuff. the Jansport Waisted pack fits one 3500 in the main compartment with enough room to cram some other stuff in there like soft plastic packs or relatively thin stuff, and the small compartment is perfect for your phone, a smaller tackle box, or random things about the size of your hand. the patch on the front allows you to thread excess strap through it and hang stuff with a carabiner, or just use paracord. you could also use paracord to hang stuff from the zippers too. I just like that even when it's fully loaded down it only sticks a few inches off the front, you don't feel like you have a shelf hanging off of you.
