It's not a big rucksack to be honest. Size wise it's a bit bigger than the TA one. One of my waters is a fair old push through a field that gets rutted up by cattle, so I wanted to lighten the load on my barrow but the trade off is if I get too big a rucksack then it's too much weight on my back for the walk. At the start of the season I think I worked out I'd walked about two miles in journeys from my swim and back to the car, so i need it to be comfortable but also reasonably light when loaded. I've only had a couple of outings with it so far but it seems pretty good. The only thing I'm going to do is get another of the pouches to go in the bottom for my pva and monkey light as I don't like them just chucked in. I thought I'd miss the internal dividers of the TA one but I haven't cos the pouches become the dividers instead.

Tbh mate I don't take a lot with me so that's most likely why I manage to get it all in mine, I thing mine is only a 50/60 litre so not much bigger, I can't stand taking to much stuff with me lol

Why did you get rid of the Speero? They seem to have a good reputation.

Looks like the ones recommend are
Army
Korda
Esp
Speero
Trakker
Thinking anglers
Aqua

that's the problem to much choice now years ago it was easy only couple of companies to choose from it looks like the korda is a good one for size and quality at a fair price

I'd scrub aqua off of that list. I've seen brand new bags in a tackle shop with very poor stitching. I can't imagine they would last long. Apparently some people have also had the fastening clips snap.

Still more great replies and advise thank you

Yesterday I managed to visit an open tackle shop

I had a good look at the Korda while it looks great sadly it's to small

I need something bigger
Are you sure?
