As you can see everyone has there preferences. So i will tell you mine. i have the William Joseph sling creel. I get the best of both worlds, it si a chest pack that will hold everything needed for a full day of fishing, and a back back with room for a wading jackect (packed tight), and drink and snack plus a seperate back compartment seperated from the other for a few fish (if your into that sort of thing). It hangs over one shoulder and under the other, It stays in place and i can spin it around to get to the backpack part just like the orvis sling pack. i recommend checking it out also before making a desision.
