What is it?
Plano Guide Series Bag
What sets it apart?
Abounding with user-friendly details (think: Swiss Army Knife) this sturdy, well-conceived bag was literally built on Plano’s Utili-Tackle Rail System. The lid features four over-molded rubberized corners to secure a StowAway Utility Box and solid attachment points for bungee cord tie-downs. The rail’s perimeter offers 17 different attachment points to keep practically any tool or accessory imaginable at convenient reach. On the flipside, a second Utili-Tackle Rail System creates a stable base that, by design, adds elevation to keep the bag above standing water, or even damp deck carpet. Those corner “feet” also keep your bag in place when slick surfaces and/or rough water urge sliding.
How do I use it?
With pockets on three sides and a large mesh slip pocket in the rear, sizes 3700, 3600 and 3500 boast 360-degree storage with a low-profile that makes it space-efficient and convenient to carry. The larger two sizes include six matching tackle trays (five inside/one on the roof), while the 3500 includes five (four/one). Handy tie-down points allow you to secure the bag to kayaks, ATVs or boat decks during bouncy times.

Angler’s insight:
When I held this bag, my first impression was “compact functionality” — a concise package with lots of practical elements, but none of that unwieldy awkwardness that plagues efficiency. Kayak/canoe anglers will appreciate the ability to carry an impressive amount of gear in a bag that fits their available storage space, while bank fishermen should find this bag befitting their needs to combine all their tackle needs into an easily transported bundle. The key clip inside a secondary pocket within the main front pocket is a nice touch.
