Gear Review: AFTCO Angler Urban Backpack

WHAT IS IT?

AFTCO Urban Angler Backpack

WHAT SETS IT APART?

AFTCO designed a downsized angling backpack that has just enough storage for a day trip, with less bulk to prevent fatigue. The inside holds a 3600-size utility box and the outer pocket holds up to a 3640-size box. Inside are five plastic pages for soft plastics. A 1.5-liter hydration pack includes a magnetic tube holder to keep it in place. There’s a handy pocket for small items like fishing licenses, phones, wallets or keys. Lumbar support and an elevated back rest keeps the pack comfortable enough to wear all day, and a spare rod holder keeps rigs secure and ready for action. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

Just take what you need on a given day trip. You’ll lighten the load and can wear this pack all day without adding bulk with gear you don’t need.

Don’t let the small size of this pack fool you. It’s designed for one purpose. That is for holding only what you need for a day of fishing on small waters. You won’t leave anything behind as the pack is designed with integrated storage options that can be customized for a given trip.
