Looking for a new caryall, I have been looking at the solar sp carryall but I cant find anywhere with the actual diamentions of it just a video. Does anyone happen to know the size? If not what do people reccomend? Dont want something too big. Thanks

I recently got the speero modular carryall...nice size well made and you can add additional storage or cool bag compartments if nèeded for longer sessions etc

Have got other luggage from their range which i have used all through the winter...all spot on and looks built to last ...worth a look

I've got a couple of pieces of the thinking anglers luggage. The rucksack and cook bag. The cook bag I've had for a few years now and apart from mice eating the mesh pockets it's still as good as when I bought it. I don't like large sized luggage so it's perfect for me.

The ta gear is good quality but the rucksack is very uncomfortable and the carryall is to small imho it's a shame as it's quality gear if they made a carryall a bit bigger it would be a top seller

Totally agree, that's the only thing putting me off is maybe it's too small, be great if was little bigger

I've got the green one and find it perfect, combine it with their cool bag and can comfortably do a 4/5 day session.

I had the original esp barrow bag, and was a brilliant bit of kit, got it when it first came out,
shame they stopped making it, loads of pockets inside, and three bigger pockets on the outside,
and front pocket held a fox tackle bag

As cant find the sizes of the solar carryall and I think the thinking anglers one is abit too small. Has anyone got any reviews on the trakker compact carryall? Size seems spot on.

You could always hang fire and wait to see whether the new Korda one suits you better.

Luggage from tackle firms is overpriced tat for the most part imo. I now use military gear and it's miles better.

Any army surplus store mate, or ebay if you know what you're looking for. Military 1st is decent for some stuff:

I've got the compact carryal and find it spot on size wise (for me).

Agree with the Saint - seems very well made and no signs of wear so far (not that its had a huge amount of use tbf).

I went to the tackle shop with the intention of buying the Thinking Anglers compact carryall, however when I saw the size of the rucksack (which is actually very small for a rucksack) I changed my mind and went for this. IMO its essentially a carryall that can be worn on your back, as daft as that sounds. This, coupled with the coolbag, fit my needs perfectly

The Korda luggage looks like re-badged Trakker & Aqua stuff...

I've used the Aqua stuff for a while and really like it.

The Korda looks ok but I don't like the colour so wouldn't ever buy it!

THinking Anglers stuff looks pretty good to me, well thought out and a nice look to it.

Better tell you what to look for when filled it's a job to get on as the harness is short and when on the side straps are not sawn to the harness and they cut into my sides also the chest strap is to high ended up almost cutting into my throat It needs to have gear in to test i was gutted to get rid tbh

Take a look at the Born and bred rucksack, it's a tiny bit bigger than the thinking anglers one, better pockets imo, and superbly made

Check out the Korum Ruckbag, I have the original sml one and it's perfect, not as 'carpy' but very practical
