i have a real mix and match of luggage, i wish it was all matching but cant justify the spending of money when it already does the job well.
I use a trakker 3 12ft rod sleeve
Thinking Anglers Rucksack and Carryall (Tackle stuff in the fist, cookware & kettle etc in the second.
That's pretty much it. No problems with any of it. I sometimes wish that my rucksack was a little bigger but i manage to get all that i need into it

Dutchy army rucksack plenty big enough for 5 to 10 hours sessions for me.
Best rucksack / carrryall ever had.

I always used Nash luggage with no complaints. Me being me it annoyed me that My RT7 was in Fox camolite gear compared to the rest so took the plunge and converted everything to the Fox camolite range. I must add I do not like Fox at all from past experience and the pattern on the luggage isnt that nice to look at
That being said I really rate their range. All the luggage that I have bought are well thought out, very well padded and more importantly the heavy duty zips on them is far superior than anything Nash I owned before. Still dont like Fox as a brand but very happy with their luggage range. They really have a bag for everything you could possibly take

Trakker NXG can be picked up for a good price too, I've got the XL pva pouch I think it is and its very good.
Just getting my current set of shifts out the way and I'm gonna head to angling direct
as they will have most out on display.

Carplife luggage for me when I change it all.
I looked and handled most options at the Big One show and it was head and shoulders above the rest for quality and practicality.

I do like the look of their gear, good to hear from someone that's handled the gear

Agree - I'd be looking at CarpLife. Went to the Big One looking to pick up Korda but handled the CL stuff and ended up with the 5 rod holdall and rucksack. Can't pledge for longevity but certainly feels cracking quality.

You don't like Fox as a brand yet you converted all your luggage to them. If they read this they'd be
It's really interesting to hear what everyone likes/dislikes and personal preferences. Some surprise me.

Not sure what's so hard to understand. Wanted my luggage to match this was the only way. Also only fox gear I own. Having in thet past have fox reels that broke looking at them and clothes that shrink after the first wash I will stick with my original post by saying fox is a sh*t brand in general. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion 👍 Also the reason I didn't buy a frontier xd just can't trust it even though the size is perfect and I love the extension option.

I have got, and have had bits from loads of different manufacturers. Like most I suppose I am always trying to improve what I have. Sometimes it's expensive, sometimes not. My criteria is; will it be better at the job I want it to do, than what I currently have. I have bought a few lemons over the years. Sometimes on supposedly good recommendations.

The mistake you made was buying reels from a company that doesn't make reels, they brass plate *****.
As for the clothing dear oh dear, school boy error that.
You're totally correct about their luggage though 👍

Because I wanted them to match. No real reason whatsoever just the way I am

Because some of us are wired up that way, same reason you have matching cushions on a sofa etc. Any cushion would do but matching ones make it that bit more pleasing to the eye.
Plus, its each to their own, spending money how they see fit.
And thats what I'm gonna do.
