Looking for pouch options for the rear of my plate carrier. I have a bang (roughly CTS mini size) and smoke (M18) I'd like to keep there but wasn't sure if there was a better GP style pouch option, in case I needed different items such as maybe a spare 20rd mag, small radio, or miscellaneous gear?

One of the small bangs usually fits in a single rifle mag pouch, and a smoke in a double. Purpose made pouches tends to be more snug and flop a bit less.

Spiritus SPUD seems to be marketed towards your desire.

I find it interesting that most zip-on back panels follow a similar pattern. About three small pouches up top, and one large-ish pouch on the lower back.
Seems to be what the world has settled on, as the most useful layout?

Having them on the bottom would make drawing long items vertically out of the pouch difficult, with the large GP pouches above them.

yeah that makes sense, especially if the pouch was loaded. I will run a similar set up to that back panel but with a slim/flat horizontal pull IFAK on the bottom instead of GP.

Those SPUD pouches look interesting, I'll have to look into them.

I've got a Spud knock off pouch, and it's great.  I've used it for an M18 smoke, two smaller Enola Gaye smokes, a pair of mags, my phone, etc.  It should fit any number of options.  I plan on replacing it with an actual Spiritus Spud soon.

Yeah the price point is a little hard to swallow for sure
