Product Description

Only Fish Should Be Flapping Around…

Instead of being “that guy” who never brings enough gear on fishing trips, always bugging his mates to borrow theirs and then losing it overboard, you get to become the self-respecting fisherman you were born to be! And instead of being one of those “other guys” digging around the tackle box flustered, YOUR tackle bag with its quick access pockets, keeps you organized and efficient, so you can catch more fish instead of catching grief from your fishing buddies.

… Because you’re the guy with the new Recon Tackle Backpack!

Recon Top

Size ALWAYS Matters

It’s often said less tackle equals more fishing. So, we designed this tackle bag so you can take as much or as little tackle as you wish! It’s an extra-large 19” tall, 16” wide and 10” deep and has a removable board between the top and bottom “trapdoor” for guys with “big tackle”.

Fast Access Trapdoor

The fast-access trapdoor fits four (5) 3650 containers nice and snug and any 3600 series. And of course, you can fit smaller boxes. The Recon Tackle Backpack comes with 5x Calissa tackle boxes, so as soon as YOUR pack arrives, you can start organizing that long-overdue fishing trip.

“Must Have” Compartments

How much tackle how you lost due to rusting? We have added a rain cover to protect the backpack and your gear from rain and sea spray. These compartments, trap door and the pockets let all fisherman know you mean business

Lifestyle1

American Company Owned by Fisherman… For Fisherman!

While we can’t claim any billfish records, we do know a thing or two about fishing – we’re out there almost every day! So, we designed and tested the Calissa Recon to solve the problems of other tackle bags – like size, ease of access, corrosion, and comfort. As soon as you get your backpack home and load it up, notice the even balance point (small on top, wide at the base) making it easier to carry and stand up than other bags. It also has adjustable, padded straps for comfort.

LifeStyle2

Lightweight and Saltwater Corrosion Resistant

Fresh or saltwater, this Backpack wants you out fishing as long as possible (… and so does your wife). It’s made from light, durable, breathable polyester and at 10lbs weighs less than your smallest catch! Or at least, we hope that’s your smallest! The fabric and zipper are both saltwater corrosion resistant. But don’t forget to wipe it down after each trip! Sturdy feet underneath keep the bottom of your bag dry on deck, sand or ice – so go ahead, stay out all day! Just don’t come home empty handed!

Lifestyle3

It’s Called Fishing, Not Fumbling…

Mates don’t let mates fumble. Save time and fuss - take all your gear with you, and bring home more fish without looking like a disorganized newbie. Just pick up your rod and move fishing spots without the hassle. No self-respecting fisherman would settle for anything less! Lightweight, durable and professional - try now the Calissa Recon and see if “she’s a keeper” in your fishing arsenal.

Great back pack I thought?
4 Stars
Great back pack I thought?
This is a good looking back pack. I replaced my old cabelas backpack but don't get me wrong the cabelas 14 year old back is much better constructed than this one but didn't have quite the space and plus I just wanted a new one for my winter trout fishing plus this was the largest one I saw on line. I would have given a five but they didn't give a pull out rain protector. I'll follow up after this winter's trout fishing. When I first did this review I hadn't noticed that the handle on the top isn't wide enough for all four fingers to pass through for carrying. I really can only get two fingers in comfortably and Squeeze three fingers in now try carrying that a short distance. Come on just inches over with the stitching would have made the handle functional. Another issue I noticed is stitching hanging loose. Nothing was coming unstiched yet but had to cut the loose hanging stitching. I'll add on to this as soon as my winter trout fishing starts.OK TODAY IS JAN 15TH 2020. AS I SAID THE CALISSA BACK PACK FISHING BAG WAS FOR WINTER TROUT. TODAY IS MY FIFTH TIME USING THE BAG AND THE STITCHING HAS COME LOOSE ON THE FRONT POCKET. IM SO PISSED. Now I have to find a show shop or someone who can stitch the bag back together. Even though the wild river bag is slightly smaller looks like I'll have to purchase another one for next winter trout fishing because this off shore tackle cheep Calissa bag isn't going to hold up. WOW. Sad.Today is jan 18th 2020. I took the bag to my local shoe shop for repair. As he looked at the bag he informed me that the stitching didn't come loose but the material actually tore. As he looked over the bag he noticed on the bottom of the bag one of the plastic ground protectors was coming apart at the stitches see photo. That was going to be more money. He told me that even if he made the repairs I'd be back later because the bag isn't made to handle the 38lbs of fishing gear I had in it. I really wanted to like this bag but CALISSA OFFSHORE TACKLE BAG isn't a good strong product cheaply made but has the room. I've decided to us it until it completely falls apart and is no longer functional as a fishing back. Darn shame. The government should have some type of quality control over crap made like this. OK. To replace my Calissa back pack as you can see from the photo I just received a BASSDASH green backpack. This thing is larger than the Calissa back pack and well made but the bottom is hard which is good but its covered in fabric. Come on Bassdash we place these bags on rocks, concrete and white knows what else. Great back pack but I can tell you I'm going to destroy that bottom just be sitting down while fishing. After I ordered this bassdash. The Calissa company just two days ago said that they were sending me a new back back because of the tare in the fabric shown in the photo above. Now I'm stuck with an extra bag that I don't need. I'm going to start using this BASSDASH pack and see if the bottom. Holds up since its covered in fabric and not a solid hard plastic bottom as lead to believe in their advertisements. O well today is Feb 6 2020 and I'll add to this report regarding these three bags once I've used this Bassdash bag for a while.

I use this as a backpack when I ride my scooter into the Reservoir parks for convenient quick trips. I can zip into my spots and out in no time. The back pack isn’t large, but still holds 4 rods or 3 rods with a net, the 5 tackle boxes, plus additional storage at the top. The rod holders have remained secure at 25 mph on paved roads, including bumpy rides on dirt roads (of course riding at slower speeds once I hit the uneven surface). Haven’t had anything fall out to date. The included tackle cases are smaller box versions so you can’t fit as much tackle as you can with the 3700 boxes (and 3700’s defintely won’t fit into the bag), but it still gets the job done in an organized convenient fashion. The top portion of the bag holds my line, misc tools, and additional bait that won’t fit into the boxes. Sometimes I’ll only bring 3 tackle boxes, allowing me to use the additional 2 slots for anything else I want to bring along. The 5 dividers are removable and customizable in terms of height placement. I usually secure my boxes in a tighter fashion towards the bottom leaving more space (height) for my other items on the top 2 tiers. You have the option to only use 4 tiers to allow greater height at the top for larger items. Extremely convenient.

My only complaint is that the top zipper is not easy to open or close. However, I was caught in the rain the other day and the inside remained dry without any leaking through the zipper compartments. Prior to that trip, I was concerned leaking would occur at the top; however, it performed well in moderate rain intensity.

In terms of versatility, occasionally I’ll use it as a rolling bag and will leave the backpack straps at home. Unfortunately there isn’t anywhere to stow away the shoulder strap or the back pack straps. Simply plan ahead of how you plan to use it and you’re set.

I think what I love the most about this bag is how there are multiple ways to tote it around. Carrying it as a backpack, luggage roller, handle or shoulder strap is so convenient to the different activities that I take my fishing gear to. When I need my handsfree, backpack all day! When I go to a dock or pier I can drag it along with me with the rolling wheels and handle. With the added boxes and slots, I have managed to get ALL of my tackle both fresh and salt into one back. Better than having two separate. I do plan on however, to lightly grease the zipper to reduce friction and the effects of salty water. Other wise it was the best father's day gift to myself!

Purchased this to replace my old shoulder strap style box. Quality of the bag itself is great. Very sturdy and I like the handle aspect too. The boxes are where I think they shortchanged it. The lids are attached by plastic and do not have hinges. Over time I can see these breaking off at the pivot point.

My mothers old tackle box wasn't cutting it anymore. I found this and it's totally worth the money. My mother loves it. And the fact that she can roll it around instead of lugging the old one is awesome. The containers for the different bits and weights, etc. work perfect. Lots of slots and pockets for extra stuff...it's really great. Glad I spent the money.

Purchased this bag for a charter boat trip to Ensenada Mexico. Fit all the gear needed for my son and I. Places for reels (Qty 4) in the top section, supplied trays were nice and customizable. The "nylon shelves" in the lower section were nice with each tray having a shelf to go on (easy in/out as needed). The rolling cart feature was very useful for not lugging gear by hand down the dock. Loaded with significant lure weight and lead weights for bottom rockfishing, why carry when you can get your roll on. Will see how it holds up long-term over the summer.

Additional Note: With the addition of a airline roll-on bag accessory (or bungie cords for the frugal) you can easily strap a second tackle box or gear box on top and roll that along too, like we did.
