Has anyone here tried the sonik xtractor rucksack?
I liked the look of the extra front storage, but no idea if it's a good rucksack in practice

Dutch army day pack. You can get additional pouches to fix on the front.
Very comfortable and around 30 quid. No need for a fishing brand.

I've had the Korda one for just over a year - great bit of kit, the 30L size makes sure that you're not taking a load of stuff that you don't need, I've found it comfortable to use (on some long walks too) I cant really see a downside to it, it fits the Korda tackle box etc., extremely well, it's a well thought out piece of kit... I'd give it 9/10 only because they don't do it in the olive colour, but that's probably just me.

Just sits high up due to the "squat" shape, so all the weight is on your shoulders and not through a hip strap like a proper rucksack for hiking. Looking at the shape, I doubt the korda one is any different.
I have the TA one (mk2) and like it, the shape makes it practical to use, as opposed to traditional "deep" rucksacks where you have to get everything out to get to whatever might be in the bottom. The other solution to this is obviously to have an opening lengthways like some do, the "ruckall" type, maybe try and find one like this if you have a long walk, but if carrying comfort is the no.1 priority youre probably best looking at army or hiking brands.

Thinking anglers rucksack was the most uncomfortable rucksack i've had. Those internal pockets also just take up excess space.

Drennan Specialist 40l is comfy for long hikes . . . sternum strap helps and I use it for mobile barbel fishing . . .being able to clip on roll up quick draw mat and strap waterproofs / jacket to top section is also handy . . . ESP version is similar with loops for banksticks etc which Drennan does not have. . .
