5.0 out of 5 stars. Great piece of Equipment!!!Verified Buyer Reviewed by HOLYSTEEL from Chicagoland on Monday, March 3, 2008This thing is very easy to use...no restriction of movement in casting and enough room on the back for lunch and drink...well made..It rides higher than a fanny pack and I feel is more suited to the flats,creek roaming angler.

3.0 out of 5 stars. One that got awayReviewed by Squeasel from Ogden, UT on Saturday, February 9, 2008I've owned the creel for several years after I tired of overstuffed vests that made me look like Sasquatch. It is almost just what I want, but its fitting shortcomings are too burdensome. The adjustment straps are mediocre and fail to hold their settings. More importantly, the creel desperately needs an optional strap that you can sling over your off shoulder. As it is, it pulls and sags and grows uncomfortable, even slipping off like a bad prom dress during the last dance. The overall construction is outstanding (in fact, I'd like it a bit lighter), and it's a well-planned minimalist rig. I'm going to bootleg a strap to see if I can salvage mine, but otherwise I'd buy a different WJ piece.

3.0 out of 5 stars. Well Made, But Not My FavoriteReviewed by Flyfishjeff from Columbus, OH on Friday, December 14, 2007I have owned one of these for a couple of years, and I can honestly say that I prefer the fishing vest to this in most situations. Why? Mostly because the vest has more capacity and spreads the load evenly across my shoulders without putting too much bulk in front of me. This pack really shines when you wear it over a jacket for cold weather fishing. I might give the William Joseph satchel pack a try for coastal surf fishing and hot weather situations. Tight lines!

5.0 out of 5 stars. I love William Joseph stuff !!!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Skeet2low8 from N.E. MA on Sunday, December 9, 2007This company make good quality, well thought out equipment. I have their wader bag, gear bag and I bought two of the creel fishing packs for my 13 Y/O son and myself. We both love them; so practical and easy to use without hindering casting. They are very well made and should last for years, better than all the rest.
