Battle Bag Plus Review

The Battle Bag Plus Made a Bold First Impression

The Battle Bag Plus from Unknown Manufacturer promises a unique approach to simulating deer sparring and fighting. It aims to create realistic sounds and encourage early season practice for hunters looking to mimic the intensity of the rut. I was intrigued by the promise of high-tech polymers and increased banging capabilities.

I was specifically looking for a more durable and realistic alternative to traditional rattling antlers. Antlers can be bulky and sometimes produce an unnatural, “clacky” sound. The promise of the Battle Bag Plus to generate realistic sparring sounds was very appealing.

Upon unboxing, I was immediately struck by the unusual design. The “Battle Sticks” felt surprisingly lightweight, but the high-tech polymer material seemed durable enough. The Rubber-Flex bag felt pliable and ready for some serious action. I was curious to see if it could truly withstand the “increased banging” it advertised.

Compared to traditional rattling antlers, the Battle Bag Plus is significantly more compact and easier to transport. I’ve used a set of bone-on-bone rattling antlers and a synthetic rattling system, and the Battle Bag Plus piqued my interest due to it’s size and polymer construction. I ultimately chose the Battle Bag Plus because of its claims of superior volume and durability.

Initially, I was cautiously optimistic. The materials felt good, but the real test would be in the field. Would it sound authentic? Would it hold up to rigorous use?

Real-World Testing: Putting Battle Bag Plus to the Test

First Use Experience

My first test of the Battle Bag Plus was during a scouting trip in a dense, wooded area known for its mature buck population. The weather was cool and damp, typical for an early pre-rut scenario. I planned to use it to simulate a light sparring match to gauge the interest of any nearby bucks.

The Battle Bag Plus was surprisingly easy to use. The Rubber-Flex bag provided a comfortable grip, and the high-tech polymer Battle Sticks produced a surprisingly loud and resonant sound when banged together. The damp conditions didn’t seem to affect the grip or sound quality.

There were no immediate issues, but I did notice that the sound was slightly different than real antlers. It had a unique tonal quality that, while loud, might take some getting used to.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several weeks of using the Battle Bag Plus during scouting trips and early season hunts, it has held up remarkably well. There are no signs of wear or tear on the Rubber-Flex bag, and the Battle Sticks show no signs of cracking or chipping. It’s a testament to the polymer materials used.

The Battle Bag Plus is easy to clean. Mud and dirt wipe off the Rubber-Flex bag with ease, and the Battle Sticks can be rinsed off if needed. Maintenance is minimal, which is a huge plus for a piece of gear that’s meant to be used in rugged environments.

Compared to my previous experiences with rattling antlers, the Battle Bag Plus offers a consistent and reliable sound. Antlers can sometimes be difficult to manipulate to achieve the desired sound, but the Battle Bag Plus is consistently loud and impactful. It has become a reliable tool in my hunting arsenal.

Breaking Down the Features of Battle Bag Plus

Specifications

• Material: High-tech polymers for the “Battle Sticks” and a Rubber-Flex material for the bag. These materials were selected for durability and weather resistance.
• Intended Use: Simulating deer sparring matches to attract deer during the rutting season. This promotes early season hunting opportunities.
• Special Feature: The Rubber-Flex bag is designed to allow for increased banging of the “Battle Sticks.” This is key for loud, impactful sounds.

These specifications are important because they directly impact the performance and usability of the Battle Bag Plus. The high-tech polymers ensure the durability needed for field use, while the Rubber-Flex bag is critical for generating loud and realistic sounds.

Performance & Functionality

The Battle Bag Plus excels at generating loud and resonant sounds that mimic deer sparring. It is surprisingly effective at carrying through dense woods, allowing me to signal potential deer from a distance. The volume output of the device is impressive.

The primary weakness is that the sound, while loud, is not an exact replica of real antlers. A discerning deer might notice the tonal difference. Further refinement of the polymer material could improve the sound.

The Battle Bag Plus largely meets expectations. It is durable, loud, and easy to use, offering a consistent and reliable method for simulating deer sparring.

Design & Ergonomics

The Battle Bag Plus has a simple yet functional design. The Rubber-Flex bag provides a comfortable grip, and the lightweight materials make it easy to carry for extended periods. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use for extended periods of time.

There is virtually no learning curve. Anyone can pick up the Battle Bag Plus and immediately start using it to simulate deer sparring sounds.

Durability & Maintenance

The high-tech polymers and Rubber-Flex bag appear to be exceptionally durable. After weeks of use in various weather conditions, there are no signs of wear and tear. The bag is resistant to scratches, and the sticks do not chip or crack.

Maintenance is minimal. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is all that is needed to keep the Battle Bag Plus in good working condition. This is greatly appreciated when you have a lot of gear to care for.

Accessories and Customization Options

The Battle Bag Plus does not come with any additional accessories, nor are there any readily apparent customization options. It is a standalone product designed for a specific purpose. Perhaps the Unknown Manufacturer could offer a variety of “Battle Sticks” with slightly different densities and weights, allowing for variations in sound.

The Battle Bag Plus is not really compatible with accessories from other brands. It is a self-contained unit.

Pros and Cons of Battle Bag Plus

Who Should Buy Battle Bag Plus?

The Battle Bag Plus is perfect for hunters looking for a durable, reliable, and easy-to-use tool for simulating deer sparring matches. It is especially well-suited for hunters who hunt in dense, wooded areas where a loud signal is needed. Also, hunters who value convenience and durability in their gear will appreciate the product.

Those who are extremely particular about replicating the exact sound of real antlers might find the Battle Bag Plus slightly lacking. Additionally, hunters who prefer a wide range of customization options might be disappointed by the product’s limited features.

A lanyard would be a must-have accessory to prevent dropping the bag.
