The Design & Layout: Honestly the Tackle Tote storage bag is my favorite element among the entire system. The tackle bag is filled with many practical pockets and features that make it a great bag to use while on the go. Many shore anglers carry standard school backpacks where you have maybe two or three main compartments which can make organizing and finding small items difficult. The Rhino Tackle Tote storage system solves this problem. Starting from the bag's exterior, the lower section houses a wallet with 10 fairly thick zipper bags that will hold your favorite plastics. We were able to hold more than enough bags of plastic worms, grubs, lizards, and Senkos for days of fishing. Aside from organizing plastics we found it very useful to hold lures like spinnerbaits as well. In addition the flap on the wallet has a mesh compartment where you can store additional accessories such as extra worm hooks.

Moving on up there are two mesh pockets, one small and one large. The small pocket is very useful for holding bottled scent, sunscreen, or any small accessories. The larger mesh pocket is actually a water bottle holder, and can hold a range of different size bottles. This mesh bag also features a compression strap to keep those smaller bottles in place. Furthermore the front side has two D-rings where we were able to attach items such as tools, additional water bottles for those long hikes, a fishing license, or even a small net. Smartly designed, a compression web is placed under one of the D-rings to hold larger and heavier items that are clipped onto the D-ring and prevent it from swinging as you move around.

When not carrying the Tackle Tote on your shoulder, you can use the firm handle to transport the bag

Along the shoulder strap you will find even more storage space. These pockets are designed for tools that you mostly use when you're out fishing. Near chest level there's a pocket where you can slip in a set of needle nose pliers and we found it was easy to draw them when it was time to remove a hook from the fish. The pliers held in place tightly and when bending down to land a fish the pliers will not accidentally slip out.

What one electronic device do many people carry with them today? That item is probably mobile phones/cellular phones. Near the waist you'll find a little pocket that secures closed courtesy of a Velcro flap. If not using it for your cell phone, anglers can also fit a two-way radio in this pocket.

The bag comes with many practical pockets and compartments. The pocket near the waist can hold 2-way radios to cellular phones. Also handy clips and D-rings are on the bag for easy attachment of additional accessories

Ergonomics: When you put on the Tackle Tote you know Rhino had comfort in mind when the bag was designed. The pack is very form fitting and comfortable to toss over your shoulders. Both the shoulder strap and back of the bag are well padded and porous to keep sweat from building up when worn all day. We liked how the entire loaded bag felt as we hiked through trails. The bag doesn't swing around since you are able to adjust the shoulder strap to fit firmly and comfortably against your body. Some backpacks have thin shoulder straps that give you  sore shoulders after a full day of wear, but with the TT system it never comes to that point because the strap has a wide section where it lays on your shoulders, efficiently distributing the weight evenly. We also welcome the lower part of the strap where it's also well padded that rests on part of your lower ribs and hip bone (of course depending on your height).

For those days where you carry the Tackle Tote onto your buddy's boat or to your vehicle, the bag comes with a ruggedly built handle. This heavy-duty rigid handle is firm, thick, and very comfortable to grasp when transporting the bag short distances.

The TT bag is very ergonomic. We like the wide shoulder strap, and both the strap and backing of the bag are well padded

Durability: The durability of the storage bag is excellent. Very well constructed with heavy duty components, exact single and double stitching, and the bag's main body's material is top notch. We put the Tackle Tote through tight hiking trails where branches would scratch against the bag, tossed it around the truck bed, and more. The TT system held up nicely without damage on the bag or the interior contents.

The durability of the rod is great thanks to the E-glass and graphite core construction. The bag is also made of very hardly material

The plastic worm wallet will be a section you'll probably use much. Throughout our test period we must have opened and closed these plastic zip bags over 100 times. No problems here with its durability. The plastic bags are thick and unless you aggressively rip it open, they won't easily tear. The zip bags are held in place via two binder-like rings. Will these plastic bags break off from these rings? Unlikely, we even tried hard to just for our tests. Not only are there metal supporting rings, a thin strip of nylon strap runs across giving it an additionally sound construction, preventing those plastics bags from tearing out when you dig through for your favorite plastics.

There's only one thing that we found might become an issue in the long run. The small mesh bag only has an elastic rim to hold your belongings from falling out. But in the future this elastic piece might lose its stretch characteristics. After 3 months of use, we haven't noticed any degradation yet, but with prolonged use it'll get there.

The tackle boxes can be accessed either inside or outside of the bag

The "Indestructible" rod held up nicely during our field tests. The E-glass skin and graphite core design displayed great durability. The ferrule system provides a nice and secure way to hold the rod pieces together and we saw no hairline cracks in the rod even when stressed.

Price: The bottom line... the price on the entire Rhino Tackle Tote system is unbelievable! At under $50 dollars, you get an attractive, ergonomic, and durable bag that has many compartments to hold all your fishing necessities, a four piece indestructible pack rod, a Rhino spinning reel, a wallet for plastics, two tackle boxes for lures, terminal tackle, and more. No other combo quite like this is available today, and the Rhino system has others beat in the sheer bang for the buck category.
