I'd be weary of a BOA system for a boot that's going to be used for backpack fishing. The last thing you'd want is one of those cables to break while fishing back in the woods. I'd go with a regular laced set up and get a pair of Kevlar laces off Amazon to have in your fishing pack as backup. I know a lot of people that like the BOA. But, I also know people have had them break at unfortunate times too and been rendered inoperable.
