A small soft side tackle box that takes Plano boxes may it the bill
I use to keep a small tackle bag between my legs when I had the paddle kayak. Also might could store a Plano box on the sides standing up. I have a wilderness systems bag mounted on my track with a Plano box inside.
Amazon.com
I use 2 small pocket size plastic tackle boxes, they fit in the pockets of my PFD. 4 to 8 floats fit in a smaller pocket. My rods are set up as I will fish when I leave shore. I'll carry 10 of each 1/32, 1/16 and 1/8 oz jigheads, 10 of each 6 to 8 different colors of grubs. A few sinkers of different weights. All that can be put back in the big tackle box and replaced with crankbaits if needed. No need to carry a ton of stuff, you're not going to be out there long.
I have a few soft sides coolers that have been used for minnow buckets. I need one that is thinner so it fits between my legs. I removed the insert once and got soaked with iced water.
Have the same issue. My back won't let me contort to can reach a crate, so I use a softside tackle bag with plano boxes. I scored a softside tool bag at HomeDepot a couple of years ago that works well also.
I use a NRS floatation and carry small waterproof tackle boxes in the pockets, along with tools, tippet etc.
NRS Chinook Fishing PFD - Closeout
Now if I can just find a better way to carry my beer??? Canoe often gets the nod account of that and better rod protection.
I have the older style chinook pfd. Does have good pocket space.
I have the older chinook too. I keep my floats in the pockets. Then use a small Plano between my legs with plastics,heads and and anything else I will need. Always have way more than I need for a trip.Quote:

May not be the best method but I have a Plano box for my terminal tackle and 2 ziplocs with my go to plastics for quick access in front of my seat in between my legs.

What kayak are you using?
Yak gadget makes a bag for the back of your seat
Hello I have a lifetime Teton angler
I don't carry alot of baits , just put what I need in a ziplock bag .
It looks like you could fit a couple of Plano 3600’s beside the seat. It looks like it would handle greatQuote:

Both can be kept under my legs or easy reach around to the back cargo well.
Unstructured backpacks also work well.
Fly fishing vests have lots of pockets to carry lots of stuff.
A camera man or journalist vest has pockets like my PFD.
I fish in a Bonafide Rs117, two 3700 boxes fit nicely under the seat. Also carry a small soft bag between my legs. I can put a soft sided cooler in the front for drinks. Carry a cooler behind the seat for the fish and it is difficult to access, thinking about attaching a rope to the lid to assist opening it. Only been out a few times, still working on the organization. Just bought the NRS Chinook and excited to try it out.
Sounds like you have a really nice setup. I have the Chinook also. Good little pfd.
Some great advice above. Please don’t forget to have everything secured in case you dump your kayak!
