I use a variety of luggage Cotswold Aquarius , speero , esp , aqua , trakker and recently Korda. I'm only interested in whatever does the best job. Not interested in branding

Watch for stitching issues on cotswold and if you go for the green don't leave it in the sun.I had a carryall that faded badly after only a few uses

Harry: What's her last name? I'll look it up.
Lloyd: You know, I don't really recall. Starts with an S! Let's see. Swim? Swammi? Slippy? Slappy? Swenson? Swanson?
Harry: Maybe it's on the briefcase.
Lloyd: Oh, yeah! It's right here.
Lloyd: Samsonite! I was way off! I knew it started with an S, though.

Thank you!

So if I go for speero or CA, rather dpm than classic green which ages less well over time?

Not a lot of use in this thread though, seeing as it's not been available to buy for well over a decade

Only ever had issues with the green from CA and you see quite a bit of their gear forsale with stitching issues.CA trident deluxe are probably the best rod bags on the market for protection though

May have already been said but im not reading the whole thread lol. But, dont go for all luggage from the same manufacturer/range, some bits from one company/range, arent as good as those from other companies.

The thinking anglers sleeves and quiver are the best ive come across for rods, and ive had a fair few, fox, CA, trakker, nash, aqua

But i prefer the fox camolite ruckall to the thinking anglers offering

And a fox voyager barrow bag

A CA camera bag, which was expensive, and not bad, and the design i wanted, but its nowhere near as good quality as youd expect for the price, and the carry strap is very very questionable.

The few bits of CA luggage ive had, ive not been Overly impressed with

If your starting from scratch why spend so much money you may get bored after one season.

I don't think either their is any brand which sits out as best. I would say over the last 30 plus years most of the stuff from the established names (and a few new names) is pretty good.

I've had most of names mentioned below.

I would strongly suggest get yourself in a shop and take a look as there is so much choice these days.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
