Hi Sean,
I have an LL Bean pack that sounds like what you're talking about. It has
an internal bag for waders, upper and lower compartment, two rod holders,
external straps for a float tube (etc?, and assorted small pockets. Overall
carrying capacity is about 2500 cu in. It has padded shoulder straps, a
waist belt, etc. Designed for packing fishing gear on an extended
excursion. It's also water-resistant (not waterproof).
Eddie Bauer also has a (waterproof) bag with compression straps on each side
for rod tubes or other misc. items, but is smaller (probably under 1500 cu
in.) and doesn't have the waist belt, padded shoulder straps, or other nice
details of the LL Bean bag. I use it for hauling my steelheading gear from
run to run, and it works very well for that.
Both are nice bags, but each has a very different "niche".
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Brian Lencho
