Ruck Sack or Seat Box?   
Re my earlir posting re the above.

I called into Millets (Cnterbury) this PM & they have a super Eurohike 45 
litre sac for 39.
Has both waist and chest straps with waist strap padding as well.
Very desireable.
Apparently very  the 35  lit.version  is v.popular with Bikers and gets a 
lot of good press in their mags.

I asked if I could bring my gear into the shop to see how it fitted in and 
was told " no prob, we even let you take it home for a trial" -

I did point out that If I took it fishing they would probably consider it 
sold..

Now I'll have to find a way of getting it the house past the FPM tho'.

Prob. rears its ugly head - a bigger sac carries more than a smaller one so 
I can take more and it will be heavier.

Sod it, I will just have to leave the feathers out then..

He he. re the trailer, mackerel arent that big!!

I also bought a rucksack, one of those cheapo "back to school" jobbys.  Then 
I noticed that any home delivered chinese food these dys comes in plastic 
boxes, not card and foil...so we have pe opr two lying round.  Now, it 
suddenly poppd into my head that the plastic boxes make ideal containers for 
lures, hooks, trces and what not, and they all fit neatly into the rucksack. 
Once labelled with permanent marker the translucent boxes and rucksack make 
a very hndy comibation.

Thanks to all for the tip.

Now buy me bleedin' trailer.

I suppose that if you dont wash the containers first out you could put bait 
in them and that it will become just that bit taster.
I wonder.............
