Jim Hendrick can pack more into a small bag than most people I know. There’s a place for everything and everything in it’s place! He tells us:
So what is it as a bass fishing guide that you pack for a 4 hour guiding session lets say for Saltwater Fly Fishing with two customers on the shore? It surprised me when I loaded the sling pack today
