looking at possibly getting the quiver but undecided on the adjustable rod sleeves for the rods to sit in or just the reel and tip-top protectors...anyone using the system or the rod holdall...user feedback on either system would be great

I have the quiver and adjustable padded rod sleeves. Absolutely first class, much better than Cotswold stuff.

if the quiver just had 3 rods in it would it be a bit flopsy if you get what I mean...I.e all saggy

No would be fine. The reels sleeves have clips by the reels which u can tighten together

I've got the elasticated top, tip and reel protectors, which also clip together. There is also a strap on the quiver that clips together over reels to prevent the sagging you describe.

I've recently switched over from Aqua and am impressed with the luggage thus far.

Sorry to revive an old thread;

Also considering the speero quiver - any long term reviews? Looking to switch from a CA trident - would this be a mistake in quality or is the impression still that the Speero is of greater or equal quality?

I presume from this thread that both the full length sleeves ann the 'tip-top' style works with the quiver? Has anyone tried both to see if one option is more secure than the other? I would imagine that it is simply a trade off of weight/bulk vs blanl protection.

Cheers,
James.

I put some pictures on a thread on here,I have used both I prefer the compact with full rod sleeves or reel pouch system, the full quiver was a bit too much for what I need.

All their stuff looks v well made tbf.

One question though, what's the point of a quiver with full padded rod sleeves? Surely it's more of a faf than a padded rod holdall?

1. You get to buy more stuff, why buy one bag when you can shell out on 4/5 different bits?

2. You get to feel carpy with a quiver like the old school fellas while completely missing the point of a lightweight quiver and tops.

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
