Expensive, but a great product. Really well thought out design.

[here] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1LCF48/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2RFSIF56F6W5J) it is, I have been looking at it aswell.
Well the ones you're looking for are usually laptop sized with a flap top and come with separators you need to use scissors to separate into sections and put these rectangular pieces into these walled ridged sections within the box. The average 3.75 figure will fit within two walled ridged sections within the tackle box, put the rectangular pieces you cut to form the rectangular box per figure accordingly.
 
These are usually $4-7 dollars at your local sporting goods store in the fishing section, most likely, your Walmart, Dick's, Big Five and Bass Pro.
 
They're meant to be shoved into special fishing backpacks, but that's obviously not what you want to do here.

Box at home, bag for the road. I just got this and it's been working out well. Nice waterproof zippered pocket for the cell, external clips for elastic loops for pliers/knife, and it fits three large plano boxes (very) snugly. Hard bottom is a nice touch, and the price is right. Only problem is I've had it for two weeks and already two of the nylon loops attached to the zippers have come off. Other than that, all good.
Jumping in, I like the cloth ones https://www.amazon.com/Flambeau-AZ4-Fishing-Tackle-System/dp/B001U2TRHE/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1537055988&sr=1-2&keywords=cloth+tackle+box or https://www.amazon.com/Piscifun-Outdoor-Fishing-Military-Grade-Multifunctional/dp/B07DCRQXV5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1537055988&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=cloth+tackle+box&psc=1 if you want to get crazy
How about a shoulder pack.
I use a small shoulder bag. I can fit a couple of very small planos, power bait and a beer in the main section. It's got a holder for fishing pliers as well.

I recently downsized my bag to this it has a couple ways to strap a rod to it. I'm happy with the quality of it.
The second one looks a lot like this https://www.amazon.com/Multi-purpose-Military-Tactical-Bag-waterproof-anti-tear/dp/B01LF5TS7O
Usually that fancy cosplay stuff involves a lot of modifying and diy work to get the desired look but that's a place to start.
Also Google search for "tactical drop leg bag" or "motorcycle drop leg bag" or "tactical belt bag". China retailers love the word tactical.
My friend has this one and it is surprisingly roomy. It comes with dual-sided boxes.
If you wanted more room for tackle boxes I just checked out this from Academy the other day and the quality is superb. I'm thinking about ditching my large Okechobee bag for it.
I used to fish in W NC quite a bit. If I were going to give a beginner a box of flies to start in that area, they would be: elk hair caddis, bird of prey caddis, prince nymph, little black stones, hares ear, yellow sally, parachute adams, PMD, mayfly emergers, a few hot spot jig nymphs with heavy weight, a couple of simple streamers, and terrestrials. I've had banner days in NC with just a #16 adams (or haystack, similar mayfly pattern but takes about 30 seconds to tie). You could give her a box of flies and a little pack to hold those with 4X-5X tippet and some hemostats. Throw in a couple of leaders too, 9 foot 4X for the bigger rivers like the Nantahala, New, or Hazel Creek, and 7.5 foot 4X or 5X for the small mountains streams like the stuff you find in the Smokies. Good luck!
A fanny pack and a gun holster got together to have this cute baby.

My wife makes fun of me to no end because I grabbed one of these.
It's more or less a fanny pack but I like it because its low profile and doesn't bounce around or get hung up as much. I ended up cutting off the top pouch so my hand could fit all the way in the main compartment. One day I'll probably get shot by the cops when I'm walking from my car to work but at least all my shit is near.
Edit: Plan on replacing the velcro, it is pretty terrible. The more expensive ones may be better but I got the cheapie so who knows.

The rods will stick out on both but they both hold lots of tackle
If you're insane, then I guess I am as well. I'm a shore fisherman and pack a similar variety, but I carry three colors each: junebug/black, green pumpkin, watermelon candy for worms/creatures/craws; white, shad (silver two-tone) and some kind of bluegill imitator for flukes and swimbaits. I'm able to fit it all in a backpack, along with 2-3 3600 sized boxes, line spools, tools, etc., and it gets to about 16 pounds total. I keep all of the soft plastics in the top compartment in their own bags except for Keitechs, which I put in a binder. Presumably this size of bag would work in a kayak.
I use this. It's cheap and it is good quality
Your buddy wants a chest pack. The one I use has a strap that goes around your neck like a pair of binoculars. Doesn't put ANY weight at all on the shoulders. It would be perfect for him.
This is what I would recommend just to try it. It's exactly what I'm talking about and it's cheap.

I use a deck mounted soft cooler, specifically this one. It's been great for me, very easy to take on and off, and keeps ice for a while.
this is the lanyard: https://www.amazon.com/Mountain-River-Lanyards-Lanyard-Fishing/dp/B006UM0B38?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3
this is the lumbar bag i'm using today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076QN3ZYF/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_VZDxCb25AXS9G - i don't use the sling strap or little tool patch right now, but for wet wading i might wear it that way for comfort. i'm still struggling with my net retractor on this bag, i have it on the orange grab handle at the top (shown better in the 2nd photo on amazon), i'll try using their net handle sleeve the next time i go to see if it's comfortable picture
I’m considering getting one of these type slings for kayak fishing.
This one on Amazon looks good. Anyone have any others they recommend?

I use this Picifun bag. I can fit two rods on it an the small size makes it so I cant haul all my tackle out at one time, which is good if your trying to keep it light weight. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074NYJB73/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JZDPDbDMYYC3N

Wife got me one for Christmas. I pond fish in our neighborhood and it's great to hold what I need without too much weight.
I use an old case for a fly fishing reel.

Cool. I read the tackle trays that come with it aren't big enough to hold hard baits. Did you have this issue?
Edit: do you have this model?
I have this one and really enjoy using it. Not big enough for all my gear but I could easily specialize the pack for each trip. http://www.amazon.com/WT3604-Tackle-Lighted-Backpack-PT3600/dp/B00A0PA46U
Every time someone asks about bags, the Midway ones are suggested. I am sure they are great, but I actually went a different route by buying a soft sided fishing/tackle bag.
This one....25 bucks.
Lots of pockets, velcro dividers inside so you can create padded sections, etc...
I got one of these and have been incredibly happy with it: http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Fish-Soft-Sided-Tackle/dp/B002RPMUHM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417251660&sr=8-1&keywords=tackle+bag
It will fit three larger plano hard cases in it, along with all the other goodies I need.
