Landbased pack

Hello forum, looking to enquire what people take when they go fishing Landbased, e.g. what bag, essential gear and lures. The reason I am enquiring is because I am looking to cut down the weight of my bag when I go fishing Landbased, as it currently weighs around 5-6kg depending on how much I bring. Thanks

Contents:
*3 Litres of water 1/2 frozen is preferable
(on a quick / short trip 1.5L)
*Lipgrip, pliers and braid blades.
*Bragmat and front page of current months paper wrapped inside it in an A4 clear sleeve.
*1 or 2 trays of lures depending on spot, distance to cover and its difficulty level of the terrain
*Few placcies and vibes with minimal spares as they often weigh a fair bit.
*Spare leader or premade rigs if dangling baits
*Filleting knife and plastic bag for fish
*Snacks like muesli bars, mandarins, chips or biscuits
*Phone
*Headlamp
*Small 1st aid kit
*Cigarette Lighter to repair torn up placcies

Thanks flickin, big help as always. How heavy is the pack usually?

Ive found BIG placcies or spare sinkers are most of this weight aswell as the water weighing 1kg a litre. Most of the time I don't use even half the lures I carry though but "I might need one of those ones" and would be spewing if it was at home.

Sounds good, thanks

I think Flicken hit the nail on the head mate. Def have a variety of the lures on hand, you never know what they be eating at the time. Def a first aid kit too, with some hand sanitizer as well, in case you get any cuts. The lighter is a good idea incase you encounter leeches, and maybe take a small sachet of salt for leeches as well.
I usually take a landing net as well, but that's just me.
Nice work this year mate. You've caught some good fishes!

Cheers Captain, yeah I'll have to add a first aid to the bag. Otherwise I'm OK at the moment, now I've got a pack for Landbased missions where I'll be walking/travelling a lot, and a pack full of hooks, more lures, sinkers etc. for trips where I won't be travelling too much/boat trips.
