Booms Fishing Tackle Storage Bag IB1 - Operational Lures Tray for Easy

In this review of the Booms Fishing Tackle Storage Bag IB1, the bottom line is simple: this is a purpose-built sling bag for anglers who want a compact, easy-to-operate tackle system that keeps lures and tools organized while switching between front and back carry. The standout feature is the integrated lures operation tray accessed with a green zipper, which prevents dropped gear and speeds up lure changes on the bank, in a kayak, or while surf fishing. Overall it is a practical choice for anglers who value fast access and tidy storage without a bulky pack.

Key Features

• Integrated operation tray: The green-zipper tray lets you change lures directly from the bag to avoid dropping tackle into the water and speeds up on-the-spot rigging.
• Quick sling conversion: The bag moves easily from back to front so you can access tools and lures quickly without removing the pack or interrupting fishing.
• Main compartment capacity: The 11.4'in x 8.7'in x 3.5'in main compartment is sized to hold two 3600-style trays and other essentials like pliers or extra line.
• Thoughtful storage layout: Multiple pockets include a tool or phone pocket, line pocket, bottle holder, and a small pocket for discarded line or trash to keep the bag tidy.
• Attachment points and MOLLE: D-ring, hanging belt, front loop face and side MOLLE with nylon rope provide places to secure tools and fly lures that need to be within reach.
• Comfortable carry: Breathable materials, thick padding and a 2'in wide adjustable strap (extends to 51'in) reduce pressure for all-day wear and allow fast release with a large buckle.

Who It's For

The IB1 is best for anglers who want a compact, functional tackle sling for bank, kayak, surf or fly fishing where quick access and lure changes matter. It suits people who carry a couple of 3600-style trays, a bottle, pliers and a phone and prefer moving the bag from back to front while fishing.

It is less suitable for anglers who need large capacity for dozens of trays or full gear for multi-day trips; those users should look at larger backpacks or chest rigs with greater internal volume.
