superfly83 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 On the search for a new rod holdall. Ideally holding 3 made up rods. I have a budget of around £60 and don't want anything to bulky but offers good protection. I quite like the look of this avid one... Anybody use this one? Or have a similar recommendation.

sharpy86 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Something similar, I use the Fox FX 3 rod sling. Perfect for what I wanted. Lightweight, well padded, holds 3 rods made up, and a landing net on the outside pocket. If you don't need to take Spod / Marker on a regular basis, these are the type of rod bags i would recommend. More protection than a quiver, lighter than an ordinary 3 up 3 down. superfly83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InteraX Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've got the Chub Vantage 3 rod plus. Comes with 3 individual sleeves and you can buy extras. They can vary from 11.6 ft to 12.6ft rods. (Get them asap if you go for this and want them) It will take a maximum of 5. Well made and each rod is very well protected. I've got my 3 rods, a spod rod and a float rod all made up plus my brolly system. Very nice bit of kit. Not sure how much longer they'll be doing it for. They released both this an the 5 star system back in 2013, so will probably be looking to replace it in the next year or 2. Is it fashion or planned obsolesence? superfly83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfly83 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Mine unfortunately has seen better days. Has loads of rips and the zip sticks. Had it a fair few years though so can't complain. Do like the look of the chub, so that's added to the shortlist. Cheers. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno86 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 i got the daiwa black widow rod bag, its an entry level bag that you can pick up for under £30. it will take 3 made up rods and hold a further 3 rods, has a really nice padded sleeve to stop the rods rubbing together, 2 large pockets that hold loads, i carry my bank sticks, distance sticks, landing net and pole and a weighing tripod with room to spare. made from a really thick material and heavy duty zips, proper bargain. superfly83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I have a Fox holdall myself, takes 3 made up rods, and the landing net in the central pocket. It also straps into my bivvy bag, so making it a full system. http://www.foxint.com/products/specialist-fishing/Specialist%20Luggage/ http://www.foxint.com/catalogues-sections-products.php?section=114&catalogue=1 superfly83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzbomb Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I have a horking great Shimano Tribal holdall that weighs a ton when I have it stuffed full. I usually take something smaller since we have a 1 rod rule anyway. superfly83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyelburm8 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I have used the full size Prologic commander holdall for the past two years and it's been brilliant. I've used it at least twice a week for this time and to date no rips, tears or stitching coming undone. can't recommend it enough... link below superfly83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
