As per title - I'm wondering what the best rod holdall around at the moment is?
I've got a CA 5 rod holdall, but looking for something a bit smaller and for 3 rods.
Thanks

Might not be the 'best' (in terms of sexiness / camotastic appeal) but the Trakker NXG 3 Rod Sleeve in all sizes (10'/12'/13') is solid in terms of rod protection / relative minimal bulk / carrying comfort / versatility / value. . . . I have several and they have stood the test of time

I tried quite a few when i got new rods,
CA 3 rod sleeve, nice and roomy, not as good quality as theyde have you believe, does the job but i felt the rods could clatter around too much so needed tip top things, which made packdown more of a faff
fox camolite 3 rod sleeve, like everything about it, well made, too tight for my liking around 50mm rings
Trakker nxg 3 rod sleeve, as the CA and needed tip tops
Aqua 3 rod sleeve, as the trakker nxg, but overpriced
What i have eventually settled on is the thinking anglers quiver and sleeves. Not perfect, and build quality does leave a little to be desired, but its fairly well thought out, fast to pack away, takes up little room in the bivvy, and cheap compared to some others
Id like it to have have better pockets and a larger central pocket, but they arent game changers with it

Korda compact - excellent build with enough pockets and clips on the outer for anything else you may need. Obviously with the name it's car friendly being slimline

I also had the 5 rod ca and found it too big and bulky so went to a 2 rod ca for my spod and marker and a 3 rod trident for my rods - its a few years old now but plenty of room loads of pockets and ive never had any issues
I do use TA tip tops to keep rods together I always have just find it easier

Agree with the below, Korda Compac for me, has more packets than you can shake a stick at - well thought out holdall, wouldn't be without mine now..

Korda Compac (which I do like btw) is pretty much NXG in Korda Camo . . . weren't Korda previously in bed with Trakker?

Aqua definitely my preferred one. I got it as a bundle with some rods for a bit extra but it's the one I'd buy again.

I have the compac dark which is great but if I was buying now i'd go for the carplife eclipse

Always used cotswold for rod holdalls but my mate has just got a carplife holdall and that is superb. More padding and even has waterproof zips. Its the best holdall ive seen.

Im in 2 minds if to get the Korda compact dark camo or the carplife eclipse, both look really good

Def. check out the new ESP Camo Quickdraw 12FT 3 Rod Sleeve before you buy.
Not seen one in the flesh but look nice.
