Sneak Preview: TraiLite Designs Stream Pack

May 21, 20126 CommentsPacks, Organization & StorageBy Jason Klass

I just got word that the newly redesigned Stream Pack from TrailLite Designs will be available next week on the Tenkara Bum website.  If the name TrailLite Designs sounds familiar, it’s probably because you know them as the creator of the Ebira Rod Quiver–an ingenious tenkara accessory which happens to have been named by yours truly.

The new design replaces the previous “sleeve” rod holders with cords and cordlocks which makes the side pocket carrying options more versatile.  The vertical zip main compartment give you easy access to everything you’ll need for a full day of fishing.  It also features a detachable shoulder strap pocket to keep your essential fishing gear close at hand without having to remove the pack.

Specs:

  • Material: ultra light and durable dyneema-x fabric.
  • Weight: 10.5 oz complete with attachable shoulder strap pocket.
  • Volume: 700 ci +/-
  • Size: one size fits most
  • The Stream Pack is 100% Made in America

I haven’t gotten my hands on one yet but will soon and will have a review.  If this pack is anything like the quality and innovation of other TrailLite Designs products I’ve tested, it’s sure to be another home run.

    Like the looks of it. Better than the previous prototype. But would have liked something on back specifically made to hold a tenkara-style net.

    Looks good to me I think I’d rather have my net under my belt it would be easier to reach than having it up on my pack.

    Looks good. I like it. The things that it needs are
    Camel bak holder and drink tube hole – the way this is done with ultralight packs is to offer and optional sleeve that hangs off a clip on the pack
    The pack is a small day pack so you will need to take it off to access things in the side pockets, including drink bottles. This needs to be kept in mind when thinking about tools.
    The strap pouch is essential. Also handy is a loop and attachment on your shoulder for the forceps. At a minimum, it works best when you can access flies, tippet, and forceps all without taking off the pack and if it part of the me so your kit remains consolidated. I use attachments on the straps and the chest belt. Otherwise you will need a necklace lanyard. It better if all you kit is one piece but detachable at menta notice for flexibility.
    A loop up top for attaching a net holder, an a point at the base for attaching net leash and staff leash if desired. Btw, putting a net in your belt doesn’t really work well when wearing a pack and gets in the way when bush bashing or climbing over trees.
    A set of strap attachment points to strap on your jacket or jumper would help. For when you start at daybreak in the cold and then strip off when the suns comes up.
