If you like the L.L.Bean Original Book Pack but need something larger for middle school: The L.L.Bean Comfort Carry Laptop Pack is a durable, no-nonsense backpack that works well for tweens and up and comes in 24-liter, 30-liter, 36-liter, and 42-liter options (we recommend the two smaller sizes for middle schoolers)

Great for dropping those slow jigs down around workups, and equally good when freshwater fishing for salmon and trout

The other major lesson Ive learnt is to be prepared to fish well off the bottom

Heres what Ive comfortably carried in the 2L without the bag looking puffy or weird: Phone Wallet + cards + cash Key fob Lip gloss (and honestly, a second lip product if Im being realistic) Hand sanitizer (the small spray style is so easy to toss in) Hand cream (a small tube fits easily) Earbuds (in their case) Tissues (a small pack) Hair clip or claw clip (this is the item that always surprises peopleyes, it can fit) Sunscreen (a travel size is doable and doesnt take over the whole bag) And on busy days (especially if youre out with kids), the 2L is the one that can handle the just in case itemslike wipes, a snack, or a tiny pouch for random extraswithout you having to leave something behind

Even Ugly Stik is in the process of phasing these ceramic inserts out in their newer GX2 line of fishing rods
