Sage Chest & Tackle Packs

While the vest might still reign supreme in the world of fly fishing packs, more and more anglers are branching out and seeking pack solutions to more exactly fit their specific fishing needs. Sage has noticed this growing trend and come up with three easy solutions. For the fisherman who wants to bring along a lunch, camera, extra layers and maybe a Chihuaha, there's the DXL Backpack. With adjustable sternum, compression, and shoulder straps, and an adjustable, removable waist belt, it's a natural choice whether you're backpacking into Yellowstone's Slough Creek or making a casual jaunt through the city.

If you prefer an uncluttered pack to carry only the essentials, take a good long look at the DXL Lumbar Pack. With dual mesh water bottle holders, padded compartments for fly boxes, tippet and tools, and a removable neck strap that allows it to double as a chest pack, it ranks among the best lumbar and flats packs out there. We especially like the little zip security pocket on the waist strap as we're paranoid about losing our keys in the middle of nowhere! For the deep wader, it's hard to beat the Destination X Chest Pack. With room for fly box or two, some extra leaders and a couple spools of tippet, and the versatility to be worn as either a shoulder bag or chest pack, it's the perfect low-profile solution when you know just what you need and exactly what you don't.
