I have the Imax 30 litre and I'd say that plenty big enough if you're on a bike! The bag is well made and well thought out - it even has a flasksized pocket and a rainproof cover! Can't think of a better one for what you describe! As for stuff inside a couple of tupperware/ice cream tubs will be fine and leave plenty of room for reels and other stuff!
box or rucksack
Hi there
I just like some thoughts on tackle boxes or rucksacks to carry your tackle in. I have a box at the moment but Im planning a lot of fishing in the near future and will be getting there mostly on my bike (help lose some weight well thats what I telling her in doors). So my question is do any of you out use a rucksacks and if so which one and what size is and how much did you pay for it and where did you buy it from? and if you can get a CANTILEVER tackle box inside it? Or do I keep the box and take the car? where i want to fish is accessable by car and bike.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Box.
But if your doing some spinning or you are going to try more adventurous areas i would say rucksack. 9 times out of ten i use my breakaway conversion beta box. Stores everything you will need (probably too much actually), and you can keep anything you want left dry inside. Oh and you can sit on it

Hi there,
I use my bike all the time to get to remote fishing areas. I get all my gear in a small Tesco Rucksack. It was on special offer, maybe £5. The really good thing about it is that it is small, ensuring:
1 - I don't take the whole house with me!
2 - I clean and sort the thing out periodically!
This works well! A problem is with the rods and tripod, kept in a ski bag - damn thing is too long and gets in the way, so I plan to buy an old ladies bike - should rather suit me I think Actually much more practical, can barely mount my sports bike with the rods over the shoulder. Perhaps I can find 3 piece rods that work well?
My other half comes with me too on her bike, works very well - I have a gr8 excuse to buy all sorts of new gear! Actually she really enjoys it & makes fishing 2 rods manageable!

Theres a good reason men don't ride womens bikes! I just would not want to fall forwards
Bassic m8 - dunno, but I think you got that one wrong - anyhow, the last time I had to get off in a hurry and landed on the crossbar I said to myself, 'Hmmmm Neil, (for 'tis my name), I think I'll get myself a ladies bike' - just before collapsing in a heap, screaming for 15 minutes!Theres a good reason men don't ride womens bikes!

Good point, i never thought of that before. I suppose its further to fall, but less chance of making contact. Also i think a pink or purple bike would look rather kewl, its a must have for all the gluebags around my way. Is it just me, or does anybody seem to have noticed that chavs ride little girls bikes? Yes with a bell and a basket i think you would be the envy of all the anglers on the pier Neil mate!
Bell & basket, good point m8 - I'd forgotten thoseGood point, i never thought of that before. I suppose its further to fall, but less chance of making contact.

Don't know whether chavs ride girls bikes or not, but I do know old fishermen with dodgy hips don't give a lying luck what people think of them on bikes with no crossbars bassic m8:bicycle:
