anyone manage to pick one up?? I know the demand crashed the prolite explorer site and people were having difficulty ordering. I managed to pick one up with some inserts from tackle tavern, and just checked the rpolite explorer site and there was a couple of the inserts I wanted still available in there so ive ordered them.

From their website:


“British Made
We take immense pride in being one of the few remaining brands in the fishing industry that still designs, develops, and manufactures every product right here in the UK. It’s our commitment to craftsmanship, integrity, and tradition that ensures every piece we create carries the mark of true British quality.”

A quick update as its been carnage over the past few days, the launch of the vault blew us all away and as mentioned actually crashed our website !!

The feedback after the bigfishnshow was insane but we were genuinely shocked by the demand - so much so we have doubled the production line overnight and so we expect to be able to replenish stock in regards to being british made that is one of our biggest USP's, if you follow us on our socials across facebook, instagram etc you will see multiple clips of the production line making the products in our factory in the midlands

The vault fits in the front pocket of the rucksack on both the purist and the rs335

Sorry a bit behind, have I read it right that the newish RH3 3 rod holdall is £264?

Anyone got one and is it worth the money and (for example) do 50mm eyes and big pits fit properly comfortably without any bulge?

I’ve used mine for a while now changing from the trident, it’s much more compact by comparison and there is no sag, it comes with Velcro tip tops and with it being compact there is no danger of your rods moving around, I use hi-s with 50mm rings and basia sld in mine, it also has Molle webbing on the outside where I house my bank sticks and there’s two outer pockets and straps for a spod n marker (I use the Cotswold Aquarius RS sleeves) which can be attached and a pocket on the spine for a landing net handle or crook

My old trident now seems huge and overkill when side by side
