I did the fanny pack for fishing thing back in the 90’s. Today I use a sling pack. It small so not like a full back pack and I can pull it around to the front to access without taking it off. But hey, whatever floats your boat. 😀

[@FishAnything]

FANNY PACK 4 LIFE!

[@srsykes49]

Fannie pack works great wrapped around the legs on my kayak seat. Puts my pliers, scissors, etc right between my legs for very easy access.

[@FishAnything]

That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing :)

[@srsykes49]

@@FishAnything Hope it helps......Least I could do. I learned the Ned Rig from you. One of my favorite lures these days.

It's not a fanny pack. It is a waist-mounted tackle access system. They're great, and as stylish as I need to be.

Love the video and Fanny pack definitely looks like a good investment for sure because I definitely don’t like carrying a lot of gear when I’m fishing and I love the fishing line color you be using like the green line that looks very good to use

[@FishAnything]

I LOVE hi-vis line! And the Fanny pack is a must for quick trips with minimal gear. They are cheap and get the job done!

True ^ them fly anglers are smart cookies! And I hope you do bust out the UL! They are the bee's knees.

I like the fanny pack idea. I use a very large backpack for most of my gear but is def not needed for each session. Good tip, besides it looking silly. Simms makes an overkill fanny pack for fly fishing that I'm sure would work amazing at apx $145.00 FYI

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Jacob! Yeah the Simms is nice I’m sure but this $20 fanny pack does just fine :)

Darn right you will JP!

[@brianathern9154]

I got a fanny pack for wading and keeping hooks and jigs in. Hindsight being 20/20 if you're 5'7 and get into water over waist deep make sure you dry out your gear. I use a Plano 3600 Weekender backpack for bank fishing and a vest for wading. Not giving up on the fanny pack yet.

[@FishAnything]

The Fanny may not be the perfect option for all anglers but it works well enough for me! Quick, light, and easy

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I must say downsizing the gear you carry is necessary. I have a carhartt Fanny pack that holds a good amount of gear and I can easily carry a rod or two and just sit one down near where I’m fishing. Within 15 feet of me at all times. 😂

[@FishAnything]

Dang right! Gotta keep things efficient!

[@Girlwholoves2fish]

Lol Nothing wrong with fanny pack. I have about 5. Ha ha. 2 are for fishing only. I use when I'm going exploring for new spots are just want to leave in car w ultralight rod. It's very convient! There's one at Wal-Mart w 2 bottle holders. Check it out. You can carry your brewskees lol

[@rmcBloody]

Dude I carry two tackle boxes and 4 rods just to throw a lot of lures around all day, I just can’t stick to a few options when I’m out all day on the water.

[@FishAnything]

Nothing wrong with that either. Just depends on your fishing style and what you're looking to get out of the sport. For me, I like simplicity with bank fishing. I don't feel the need to lug around numerous rods and tackle because I know I will end up using one-two all day haha. I usually leave additional gear in my car as back-ups.

[@j.t.cooper2963]

Probably the only place a fanny pack is acceptable. As long as you don't bring a hacky sack along. 😅

[@cuttlefishpie3731]

You can buy those o rings and tools to put on the whacky rigs to stop you from losing a worm evey cat h. Cabelas have them

would you get the same experience using a light action rod with 4 pound mono? or is ultralight that big of a difference. im using 1/32 oz jig heads

[@FishAnything]

I think you can get a very similar experience with a Light. Especially with the 1/32oz yes. If you want to go lower than that, I’d say an UL will help a bit.

[@BeetleBuns]

if you're going to go light over ultralight, make sure it's a fairly long rod, or you won't be casting very well with the lighter stuff

I started using o-rings for my wacky rigs and hardly ever lose worms. Also switched from Yamamoto senkos and went to Yum Dingers. They aren't as brittle or expensive.

I carry a 3600 with some terminal and other baits, few bags of soft plastics, extra leader line, and pliers. Maybe a scale lol. I'll use a fanny pack if I'm literally taking just one rod and real and throwing like 2 baits. Like a wacky and ned.

[@FishAnything]

That is totally fair! Sounds like a cool system! Just depends on your style of fishing. For me, I want to have great style on the water and I usually only fish for 1-2 hours from the bank so a fanny pack is perfect :)

If you gently pop the neko constantly throughout the retrieve it looks like something feeding on the bottom. Btw fanny packs make me feel like I have a foopa. No one wants a foopa. I catch 1-2 lbers on ultralight all the time that's one of the best parts of having a super stunted private lake lol.

I have a fanny pack I've used on occasion (it's camo and looks super cool and it works awesome) but I use a fly vest with built in pack just cause of camera gear. You crushed it 2 times around. The bass were all over your finesse presentations and the mule jig. Loved the dance 🤣😂

[@FishAnything]

Haha glad you enjoyed it Fitz! Yeah I would like the fly vest but It makes a chest cam a bit less comfortable to wear (covers up some of the pockets). I am all about looking goofy and rocking the fanny :)

[@InTheWoodsToday]

[@FishAnything]

Haha I am glad folks got a good laugh out of that

[@InTheWoodsToday]

I sure did! But on a serious note, that seriously cuts down on travel weight when fishing spots where you know what to expect and dont need to bring your entire fishing arsenal. I use a fanny pack when hunting for my extra clips and my snacks!

[@williamholiday468]

If you want to spend a bit more and definitely get what you pay for, I would HIGHLY recommend the Maxpedition Versipack. I say this in the context of ultralight fishing, but they also have items in this line that would do for any angler who wanted to go the route of a cross-body bag. I find it much more comfortable than a fanny-pack and you can sling it behind you making it darned near unnoticeable. I have had mine for about ten years, used it several times a week the entire time, and there is not a stitch that has frayed. They are very water resistant and the main compartment has an additional water resistant membrane with a cinch closure. I have never had water intrusion due to even heavy rain. The compartments vary in size and configuration for everything from a couple mini-tackle cases, bug spray, a jar of “Gulp”, to a zippered small place on the front flap for your various and sundry licenses. Heck, you can even accessorize it for CCW. If you haven’t noticed I think you should get one.

Back pack sucks, a pain in the ass to access stuff. Waist/fanny Pack sucks too, because it drags my pants down and too small. Fishing vest also sucks, no way to carry all stuff. The very best is just a classic cross body school bag, with a travel organizer pouch set in different sizes.

@@FishAnything nice! Been very tempted by those stradic reels. Maybe I'll grab one someday 👍

[@punchfukker3383]

I just extend the straps as long as I can on mine and sling it over my shoulder, this also helps with my nearsightedness. the only thing I'd highly recommend that I learned from fanny-pack fishin' is getting yourself a pair of 6-8" forceps, not only do they fit in the smallest of fish-mouths but you can just clamp them on the outside of the pack for even more super quick one-handed access. I actually have 3 different fanny packs I use, a mostly empty one just for quick pick rando trips, a fully dedicated one for trout, and another slightly larger one loaded for general purpose fishing anywhere with a pack rod & reel for like going right from work or something like that so it'll fit in say an employee locker... . . . or in packed/cramped transportation like a bus or plane.
