brandonss reply :
I'm looking at getting this back over the winter to replace my old one I'm looking at the magnum sized bag does anyone have experience with this bag an also I fish as a non boater to so I don't want it to be to big
iabass8 reply :
i don't have any experience with that particular model but i did just purchase this :

almost 50% off and the bag is incredible. i'm not a fan of the wide tackle bags. this one is only a few inches on each side wider than a 3700 plano box and it fits 7 3700 full size boxes straight up and down and is incredibly easy to carry due to it being taller than wider.

Got one, nice bag, but way too heavy to be tottin around if you pack it the way I do. Keep it lightly packed and it should be fine.(nice string of mallard, hope there's no susies)
brandonss reply :
It would just be used to from a truck to the boat I'm not to worried bout weight just have limited space to work with as a Co angler an don't wanna go to big
brandonss reply :
There was a few Susies in there not many at all
teamshrink reply :
I use mine as a co-angler. I love it, but it's right up to the edge of "too big." No complaints from my boaters yet, but I won't be surprised if it happens.
brandonss reply :
My last setup was I had bag that had 4 3700 boxes an I had a small bag that kept my plastics an hooks an weights in was trying to decide from two bags or just one big bag
brandonss reply :
But from all the reviews I read the magnum bag will hold a ton of stuff
kylek reply :
I have that exact bag and it is way to big to sit on the co-angler side of the boat. When on my father in law's boat there is barely enough room to sit while running. I would probably stick with the large to give you some extra room. It still holds 6 boxes and the pockets hold a ton of stuff.
brandonss reply :
Wish I could see them in person just don't have a cabelas close to me

Well, ya done good. Congrats
Fishes in trees reply :
I used this bag for a season as a co-angler a few years ago, then went to one that was a little smaller. My last set up was 2 bags. One I would velcro to the seat post on the back deck, the other one would get thrown underneath the console. It just had soft plastics and odds and ends that I didn't mind if it got stepped on. Getting your co-angler gear down is a challenge. I would switch it up nearly every tournament. If you are concerned about getting from your truck to the boat, consider getting a rod bag that holds 6 or 8 rods. I found mine to be pretty handy.

What's a susie? Couldn't find definition on BR or net....

A Susie is what duck hunters call a mallard hen

Thanks for all the replies think I might get this bag http://m.basspro.com/Plano-3750-Guide-Series-Tackle-Bag/product/1307261109/871628
martintheduck reply :
As a former co-angler, I'll tell you my final setup was a tackle bag just like that --- one box cranks, one box weights/clips/swivels, one box hooks, one box spinners and more cranks ---- then I had a second bag around the same size filled with soft plastics. It worked just fine. Usually brought 4 rods with me.
brandonss reply :
I try to limit myself to 5 rods an try to select them on the type of fishing I'm doing flipping cranking or having to finese fish
paul25 reply :
i really like the cabelas bags i can fit all my stuff in there and not have to bring two bags. mine is a little heavy but it's not uncomfortably heavy and it shouldn't be an issue as a non-boater.
brandonss reply :
Do you have the magnum size paul25
KDW96 reply :
I have both the large and magnum. The large is a nice bag,but it only holds 3600 size boxes. I got the magnum back in january(new model). I really like this bag. Offers more storage options than the large or any plano bag. I have multiple size boxes,plus bps finese wraps,works out well.Outside pockets will hold 3600 boxes also.My rain suit fits in compartment under lid,just a all around good bag.
brandonss reply :
Do u like the 3750 boxes that come with the bag or did u by the back an put 3700 boxes in it
KDW96 reply :
I already had a ton of 36&3700 boxes,worm wraps etc. My bag is a mixture of sizes etc. I have used the bag on many tourneys,and none of the guys i fished with had a issue on space. As far as the 3750 boxes,i dont care for them personally.
Nquince79 reply :
I have the one that holds 12 bags it holds so much tackle good for on a boat but too heavy to shore fish with. It's only about a foot deep and 3 feet wide so it's somewhat small they are very nice bags though
Nquince79 reply :
12 boxes sorry
T_Nix35 reply :
Im thinking about getting the Super Magnum just to have as much space as possible for future tackle. I am going to be co-angling in my first tournament next May and was wondering if I should get the Magnum instead. I definitely don't want to tick my boater off, that would not be a good way to start the day.
Thanks,

I own both, as well as the fisherman deluxe (essentially the slightly smaller version of the last generation magnum and the bag linked to earlier in this thread). The Super Magnum seems like a great idea and I do like it for the fact it stores practically everything, but it gets insanely heavy when fully loaded. To its credit, the bag can handle it. It's a fabulous bag in a fabulous series of bags, but maybe a bit big for its own good. It is about the size of a narrow cooler, if that helps you imagine the kind of space it would take on a boat and the challenge one faces maneuvering around it.On 3/5/2014 at 12:55 AM, T_Nix35 said:Im thinking about getting the Super Magnum just to have as much space as possible for future tackle.

Yeah that is the only thing I am worried about. Do you think I should downgrade to the Magnum? Surely that is still enough space to be completely prepared as a co-angler, and stay organized. If you had to pick as a co-angler, which size would you pick?
camovan reply :
I have the Magnum and it is bigger than you think. It holds 9 3700 boxes and 4 3600 boxes. Thats a lot of tackle. I actually only carry 6 3700's in it and then I have room in the end for 2 3504 spinnerbait boxes stacked on top of each other where I keep extra line, some tools and other misc stuff I don't like loose in the pockets. As a coangler you could easily pack enough tackle plus rain gear and lunch. I can't imagine a coangling situation where 12 3700 boxes and 4 3600 boxes plus extra pockets etc. would be needed.

Yeah your right, I do think that will be enough room for a tournament. But I also want to be able to keep all of my tackle in the same place at one time for easy travel and organization. I posted a forum on tournament talk asking boaters what they thought about it. The replies I got said they would rather you have one big bag I could keep on the back deck of the boat or in the seat than a bunch of smaller bags scattered everywhere. As long as they had maneuverability and it didn't get in there way. If I set it in my passenger seat while fishing I think it would be just fine.
Alpha Male reply :
I think the Magnus is enough. Its the size I have. I bought the one without the boxes. I'm not a fan of the 2" thick Plano boxes. I have 1 item that is too thick for the thin 1 3/8th rematch boxes and that's a tri-blade buzzbait. I have 2-3731's (3.25"), 2-3750's (2"), and 4-3701 (1.38"). So I still get 8 boxes but the 2 big ones are for plastics. I have 3 side pockets with 3600 boxes and the last one is for sunscreen and bug spray. Not to mention all the little side pockets and the dedicated tool pouch is very handy.
brandonss reply :
I just got the magnum awhile back an I still have 4 boxes left to fill it's a awesome bag

Thanks man! Do you organize your tackle pretty hardcore, or are you more relaxed when it comes to organizing? I am leaning toward the Magnum now, but do like the idea of having 4 more boxes to keep more gear! I'm in between a rock and a hard place.
