Depends a lot on the size of jigs you want to keep in it.  In my experience that is the single biggest factor and large jigs are often a problem.

Hey Chris,

I was looking at the Shout bag you are correct it is awesome. Where did you order yours from?

Thanks, Chris

I broke a Shout System Jig bag :(  One seam unravelled after about 3 months of use making the whole bag fairly useless.

Have a look at the HPA bags Chris.  Like their popper bags, I really rate these.  Their flat jig bag (http://www.hpaus.com/HPAUS.com/Products/Pages/HPA_Flat_Jig_Store.html) is good value and holds jigs up to about 35 cms long.  Not sure if any forum sponsors carry these but a Google search will find them.

If you are only looking for small jig storage, then the Shimano bags are widely available and well made.

Another vote for the HPA Jig King, got one myself and the seperate jig bags make it easy to pick and choose for trips.

I've owned a Shout System Bag for 18-24 months and thought I'd share some observations.

Average quality control: Note the "Shout" logo printed on the front pocket. It isn't aligned properly on the pocket flap, and it is too close to the seam.



Poor quality of materials:
I don't get out jigging that often. Perhaps once every few months. Already, cracks have developed in the vinyl.




I don't mind paying for quality. But I must admit, I am disappointed with the quality of materials considering the $$$ this jig bag costs. The HPA is probably the next one I'll try when this current bag completely falls to bits, but I wish they made it in a more attractive colour!

Eric, the grey is pretty neutral, you will find it doesn't clash with too many outfits :P

I have one here in Perth if you want to check it out sometime.

That's good review work Eric. I am also a bit relieved that I am not the only one who had a bad experience with expensive Shout bags.
