Chris is dead right there. You can fit a heap of lures in one HPA bag.

Do they fit in there with 5/0 76 on the lure, with Owner Treble Covers?

I don't know Ben as I never put rigged lures into a bag.

Indeed, but was planning to get something to store all the trebles if they don't fit. But I can wait :)

Guys,

Just received and loaded my new HPA Bag.

Longest Lure was a Nomad Dogtooth 200 @ 290mm.

Fit in 17 Lures (150-200g). Filled one of the pockets with trebles and filled the large pocket with singles, leader, gloves, owner pliers.

If you were just loading with Lures, you would get around 25 of the above class.

Cheers Ben

27 large, medium and small stickbaits and poppers and the large compartment still containts leaderline, varivas PE spray, ferrule wax etc.

Even gamma 200 will fit very well :)

I prefer the washable lure day bags like the ones that Nomad provide. I can't remember exactly how many I can fit in them but I'd say you'd get at least 10 in each bag which is more than adequate for most trips. Usually have one for poppers and the other for stickbaits/pencils. I used to use a Hammerhead roll-up bag but found it a pain to roll/un roll all the time when changing lures. Doesn't sound like much but when things are quiet and you're doing a lot of lure changes it soon gets annoying (well for me  anyway  ???). I prefer to store them loose in one big compartment with easy access  ;D

I've used the HPA bag and found it very tough and durable, I have been using lately the Black Magic Large and Medium Lure bags and they work very well and hold a lot of lures while also easy to wash and a bit lighter than the HPA bag. But I think any of the bags that are made for Marlin Lures generally work well. The one issue is not been able to store lures with trebles and also as Jay said it is a mission opening up the bag all the time so I tend to take the lures I'm using for the day rigged and ready in the Shout Water Case and leave the roll bag at base.


Large and medium roll bags for the large and smaller lures

Can fit plenty lures

Day box I usually take on the boat if I'm a bit lazy.

Cheers,
Nick
