The original Fishpond Switchback is one of our favorite small fly fishing waist packs that Fishpond offers, but the biggest feedback we've received is that it's almost a little too small. It's perfect for taking just the essentials on the water, but anything beyond that, doesn't fit. Fishpond listened to the feedback, and the Switchback Pro was born.

Fishpond Switchback Pro Hip Pack In The Wild
Fishpond Switchback Pro Features Review:
The Switchback Pro is the bigger brother of the popular Switchback, and will allow you to carry everything you want on the water. The Switchback Pro keeps the innovative rail system on the wading belt which allows you to move the pack easily from an out of the way position on your waist, to front and center to change flies, tippet and more.
A molded net holster, adjustable shoulder strap with tool and fly pad attachments, and independently sliding pack form a perfect solution for a wide range of angling applications. Paired with Fishpond's Quikshot Rod Holder, the waterproof Thunderhead Chest Pack, or a whole host of other add-ons, the new Switchback Pro represents the next generation of fully customizable carry systems.
