Looking for a new backpack style bag and I love what wild river offers. Before I go spend 140$ on a backpack I need some questions answered..

What's a better bag for storage? A recon or nomad?
Will these fit a Plano 3730 boxes? And how many? What kinda trays will fit that hold planos that'll fit baits big as bulldawgs?? Does anyone know a phone number for the maker of the bag so I can call him if I can't get these questions answered?

Thanks for the help!

Wild River makes the toughest, best built bags out there. Good stuff. I'll have all the Plano box specs to you tomorrow.

We use two backpacks from Wild River for pack in muskie angling or our canoe trips in the Golden Hawk. The Nomad XP charging bag and the Nomad. The smaller Plano boxes that stack on the bag are 10.75" by 7", and can carry 4 larger cranks or jerk baits, several bucktails or spinnerbaits, etc in each. Opening it 12"X8". Top compartment is 10"X9". If you get the deeper boxes, the center area carries 3, shallower boxes it carries 4. The side pockets are 6"X8", plenty of room for accessories and extra stuff. Then there's the smaller top side pockets at 6"x4", and the front pocket at 7.5"x5"x2".

Fold down the divider inside the pack (velcro) and the bag carries 3 3700 Plano boxes in the center with access from bottom or top. Pliers and other tools are carried in a removable belt clip that attaches to the bag. The bag is lighted inside and out with white or green lighting. The lights are very bright and light up a significant area outside, or uber-light the inside.

The bag comes with a stowed rain guard, and the center compartment front folds down into a small 'work area' shelf, nice if you are out on a rocky river bank, etc. There's a sunglasses compartment with a hard cover formed to to protect your $100 sungalsses on the top of the bag.
