Had the Mk1 version of the transporter when the scopes first came out not sure if it was called that then, I loved it, I could get all my food, bait and tackle in it for a 48hr session.
As alluded to by others, it was blooming massive, not a problem for me at the time though, sadly after not fishing one winter, I found rats had nested in it and tore most of it to shreds. I now use the scope skins/sleeves - incredibly compact which helps on Day sessions but obviously need a barrow bag/rucksack for longer periods.

Yea I did like the idea of an all in one bag, but didn't realise how large it would ultimately be.
Hopefully the 3 rod skin is good, looks like it should be. Considering the spec ops ruckall..... But is it really worth twice as much as the new Thinking anglers one.

I have the Cult 3 rod tackle bag for my xtractor rods it's decent quality but not a fan of net attachments prefer to have a dedicated pocket for nets so I've ordered the Nash 3 rod skin. Hopefully it's good quality for the price also looked at the Aqua atom bag which looks good

The scope ops 3 rod skin arrived today, really pleased. Seems well built and we'll padded.
Fits the rods in nicely, good pockets on the outside for banksticks and net.
Would recommend.

Hi guys resurrecting this thread instead of starting a new one, I've recently got 10ft scopes and need to get a bag for them, and my rucksack has seen better days so I'm not sure whether to get the 3 rod bag and a new rucksack or the transporter style coffin bag which will eliminate me needing a rucksack. Any advice and recommendations or reviews, doesn't have to be a nash product

Recently got a pair of 10ft pace compacts from Cotswolds Rods and got the Cult tackle compact rod holdall on their advice and it's really good and I am happy to recommend. Obviously this is a 1st impression recommendation rather than a long term user review

OK will look at that, does it have space for distance sticks and possibly a net ?

I use the two rod scope bag, with single skins for third rod, spod and floater. The two rod bag carries two rods internally, plus a net a sling, and then you can attach a further two rod skins to it. The floater rod I keep separate. Works for me.
The transporter is pretty bulky, personally prefer to keep tackle in a separate bag.

I was supposed to have the cygnet retractable rod holdall turn up this week but the royal mail lost it. Looked good online as holds 3 rods plus net and sling and space for throwing stick inside. I'm away next week but I'll let you know what it's like when I get back as the new one the seller sent out should be here.

So this turned up yesterday.
Looks a decent bit of kit. Got three rods in the main holdall without issue. Padding is ok.
Has another 2 pockets one has my floating sling and landing net in the other with pod and distance sticks.
Bit bulkier than the Nash holdall I had but that was ancient and all the zips were knackered.
For £35 quid for the cygnet one I'm impressed.

Yes you can add a landing net and distance sticks in the small outside bottom pouch

Cheers guys, a few to look at. Was close to getting the sonik transporter second hand as it seems really convenient but so many on here preferring standard rod holdalls is making me unsure. I'm not too bothered about it being bulky as I can barrow it or carry it as most places I fish are short walks to the pegs.

Hi. Bought a Sonik SK tech 3 rod sleeve for my extractors (9ft) 10's are avail. Generous padding and plenty of room. Has an external pocket for nets etc and it partly unroll allowing you to carry a retainer, slim line pod, storm rods, distance sticks, buzzers etc wrapped up. Decent straps too. Went for this option as it will accommodate the longer handled scope/ extractor style rods as well as Dwarfs..Go for the Dwarf sleeves and the handle section won't allow the scopes etc!
