Anyone here know if a tackle safe and rig safe will fit in the bottom of this?
Stacked on top of each other.

If it helps at all, I bought the Tackle Safe Compaq 150 which has a dedicated tray underneath. Took it back as the tray is great but the material on the bag is poor imo. It looks like the seems are heat welded which I think won't last very long. I took it back and got the smaller Trakker PVA pouch and really pleased with it. The top zipped section will take a Rig Safe and a Tackle Safe. It's a tight fit but if you put the Rig Safe in first so when zipped up it will actually be on the top and then the Tackle Safe, it does zip up and the bottom section can be used to store the hook link spools, scissors, bait floss, rig putty etc. The PVA bags can go in the meshed sleeve in the top compartment with the two lorda boxes and leads can go in the insulated part that's designed for prepared PVA bags.

The pouches on the bottom side of the bag I've put the hooks.

Hope this helps.

I've recently done the same thing and bought the compac 150. Not too happy with it myself once the tackle safe is in the tray you don't really get much space for the amount of space it takes up, unless your using all the korda hooks, hooklink materials etc which fit nicely in the trays, which I am not.

As I've also just swapped my luggage out for the new trakker DPM stuff im going to swap it for the PVA pouch myself but can't decide whether to go for the standard of XL. I've currently got the compact carryall so been trying to gage whether or not the XL would take up pretty much the whole of the bag.

The XL PVA pouch is massive. I'm getting back into carp fishing after 12 years away from it and having to fund both my own gear and my 16 year old. I can't see me being able to store everything in a Tackle Safe so probably going to get the standard Korda Tackle box (used to have the Fox Deluxe Box years ago). I'll probably get the XL PVA pouch as it will be able to store everything (I think the Korda Tackle box will fit in the upper zipped section and the Rig Safe definitely fits in the lower section). I like the fact that I can also use the XL version if I want to have a day stalking or surface fishing as that's all I'd need.

Got to say, I'm really impressed with the Trakker stuff. It appears to be as well made as it was when I had it years ago and the prices are very good compared to a lot of the competition.

Gashman, did the Rig Safe and Tackle Safe both fit in the bottom half of the bag. I know the Rig Safe fits as it shows it fitting in the Trakker advert but was wondering if the Tackle Safe was just that bit too big.

Standard - rig safe and tackle safe in top half
XL - rig safe and tackle safe in bottom section

I think I will probably go for standard myself and store the tackle safe in the top section. Having had a good look at the dimensions of the carryall and pouch, the extra size of the XL is probably going to take up much of the middle compartment of my carryall which is a bit overkill.
Are you sure?
