WTB: Zimmerbuilt Darter Pack

Currently out of stock.. Open to other products from them or Yonah Packs. Thanks!

I bought a bunch of the small ones including the Yonah but ultimately didn’t love any of them. I haven’t tried the Darter though. I wound up making my own and I love it for my needs. I wanted to have a pocket on the front to fit the largest sized iPhone. Another open pocket that I can stuff all the tools into so they aren’t snagging and dangling while hiking or fishing. I 3d printed a spool for the tippet as the paracord only ones these bags typically include do not unfurl smoothly. I wanted it to be very smooth when pulling tippet. It also expands using the elastic on the sides and the zippers open it up so I can fit multiple fly boxes if I need it. There is a grab handle on the back for carrying it around and loops so I can set the strap for cross body, or waist type carry. The large webbing on the back is to thread it onto a wading belt.

I assume it’s not for sale?

Would you want to sell the Yonah one? If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s looks a lot like the one you’ve designed.

I actually have both Yonah packs, the simple and the fanny. I could sell you either one, I think if I remember right they are both the camo (lighter version not the dark). I also made one more bag that is identical to the green one in dark camo, I could sell you that one if you want to try it out, I did fish with it so I’d sell it for $40. The X-pac it’s made from is pricey. This doesn’t have the grab handle on top.
I’ll have to go hunt down my Yonah packs, I have them in a storage bin somewhere if you are interested in those.

Cool, I just sent a message to see what you’d want for each. I began to prefer the Yonah packs over Zimmerbuilt, but yours look great too.

I picked up a small chest/waist pack from Dragontail…still on sale for $30. I like it a lot. Has neck and waist straps included.
