Shane Snell Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 So, I’ve got to switch from a 36 liter hiking backpack to, a sling pack. (Yes…..I carry enough crap to fill a 36 liter hiking backpack.) Anyway, a left shoulder injury, is telling me that 1: I carry too much stuff and 2: the strap beats the snot out of that shoulder. I’m looking for suggestions, from those of you, that use them. I’m literally trying to find the largest capacity I can find. I’ve found a few Simms bags that could possibly work. Seems like fishing designed slings, are geared towards fly fishing. Especially in size. Really……if it’s a sling pack, has a high load capacity, not garbage, and preferably waterproof, I don’t care what the bag is designed for. I’ll figure out a way to make it work. Any and all suggestions are welcome. I thank you. Although, the wallet and the wife, will not thank you. But that’s a risk that you, and I, are willing to take. Because….because we just do what we can. For America. Mossyback Angler and jmpatacsil 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t help out with a recommendation but I hope you find a glorious sling pack adorned with the baldest of eagles and the volume to fit every piece of both necessary and unnecessary equipment.

I have almost pulled the trigger on one a couple times now. https://www.511tactical.com/rush-moab-10.html Edited August 31, 2022 by LowSpinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumoNinja Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 I got a 40 liter hiking backpack I fill up with baits, drinks and food. That's for when I wanna open the lake and shut it down, all day shore bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you carry that much weight why don’t you look for a nice pack that has a frame like a Kuiu or Kifaru that distributes all the weight to your hips not your shoulders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
