With Sean 'Bear' Forward
For years I played around with different bags, trays and all variations thereof. I was lucky enough to spend a few years on staff At Bluewater Myaree and took great joy is checking out everything I could. That’s when I came across the Rapala Sling Bags!
The first thing that caught my eye was the fact that the sling bag stays on the back and out of the way when fly casting. When it’s needed, you sling the bag around to you front and have it open like a table. Brilliant!

velcro straps sewn into the spine of the bag I can strap the rod to the bag before I open it and have my hands free to do the work |
Good start purchased and added to the kit. One issue to resolve. You’re out in the middle of the bay and need to change a leader or fly. Got the right bag, but how to manage a 9’ rod that likes to be in the way. You need both hands free, but how. I’ve got to credit my wife for the last piece of the puzzle…… Velcro straps. Sewn into the spine of the bag I can strap the rod to the bag before I open it and have my hands free to do the work. This was such a big deal for me, less stress when fishing means more enjoyment all round.
Well, I hope you got at least something out of this and feel free to
share more with us by emailing them to me at bear@roaminangler.com.au.
