Why We Like The 2.0 Summit Sling
A load of features on Fishpond's 2.0 Summit Sling lets us carry our fishing gear close, compact, and completely organized. Multiple pockets, specific spots for lures and tools, and holders for water and other essentials mean we have a holster to lock in all we need securely, so we know it won't fall off while we duck and weave our way to the brook.

Nice pack, but too small; specs wrong

I recently purchased this pack. I was excited by the value it seemed to present over the Orvis Guide Sling ($159.00) and I own other Fishpond products so I am comfortable with their form factor and quality. When I received this pack, I was happy with the quality and features, but it seemed very small. I am a fly and conventional fishing angler so I wanted a larger sized sling pack that would handle both fly boxes/supplies and typical Plano style 3600 sized boxes. I checked the specs on the Fishpond website and it shows there that it is only 9L, but the Backcountry listing shows as 16L. While I liked the pack quality, style and features more than the Orvis, I sent it back and kept the Orvis because it would not be useful for my purposes. So, if you need a small-medium sized fly fishing sling, this will do just fine, but be aware that the specs are not accurate.

Great Bag

This is my first sling pack, and I don't think I'll ever go back to lumbar packs. Fit is easily adjustable, plenty of storage, swings around easily but stays put while hiking out to the stream. My only gripe is the net sheath. My hand net falls out of it fairly easily if I'm not careful. A long-handle net would stay in much better. Also kinda difficult to get the net back in the sheath without swinging the bag around front.
