Hi Guys,
I bought the Korda Compac Large Cool Bag earlier this year and it's performed well with no issues. I am next looking to add the 12 foot 3 rod holdall, plus additional sleeve and one of the carryalls (likely the medium) and possibly the 30 or 45ltr rucksack. Any thoughts appreciated from those that own or have owned these. Before we start the colour is fine for me (ie: the slightly different brownish version!)
Thanks

Ive got a rod bag, sleeves, a ruck sack, cook bag and probably more stuff that i cant even remember now, and ive never had a single issue with any of it. No bad stitching, no dodgy zips etc. Performed perfectly well, I certainly wouldnt be spending any money on more expensive brands any time soon.

Great, thank you! Which Korda rucksack do you have, those are usually the items that I find least comfortable? Couldn't get on with the Speero compact one

Thank you, good to hear. I had seen a few complaints about the zips on the smaller compac stuff (the eva pouches) but none on the bigger luggage items

I have the rod holdall and just got the rucksack
I love them, great quality and well thought out.
I have the 60l rucksack... Combine that with the compac organiser and some of the large compacs and it's ldea...i have managed to fit 12tubs of Hookbaits in the large side pocket (I know that's a stupid amount)

As has been said it's top quality kit, although I would check your rods/reels fit the 3 rod bag, mine was too tight with 5500 reels..I ended up getting the 5 rod which has a bit more room.
I've got the 5 rod bag, 2 sleeves, small and XL holdall and both the spool cases.

Have the 12ft 2 rod Compac Rod Holdall, what I can carry with it
-46' Landing net + steel
-My wife's 9.5m pole
-my 2 kids 4m pole
-2 x 12 fr Free spitit Es with 2x Shimono 14000 XTE
I also had the 3 rod version and I don't think I can get 3x 14000 reels in it

I cant comment on their use but I had a good look at the Korda luggage and I have to say it appears to be high-quality gear, first impressions were good.
The unhooking mat they make that matches the luggage is massive!

The mat is absolute quality,the fish sit in the mat and the polls ball edges hold the fish in.It folds up nicely and I've never ever had a mat that dries off so quickly.It is by far the best mat I've ever had and would highly recommend it to anyone

I like the look of it, but a big miss imo is no retaining flap; I get how they expect it to be used but for me at least I'd find that useful. Until then, Aqua combi mat
