I have a 3 rod version & very happy with it tbh. I have had most luggage ranges over the years & I cannot see myself changing from this stuff for a while anyway. Not to say that it is not without a couple of design issues, but nothing that cannot be worked around (have to put the single sleeve for spod rod at 180 degrees to the main rods as it doesn't sit right with the 4 big pits together, so having the spod rod reel face opposite way to the main reels, it is more manageable). I have emailed Korda about this (& offering suggestion to make the base pockets for the sleeves/weight sling/etc) slightly bigger or gusseted with an elasticated material or with a buckle clip to make it easier to put in instead of having to squeeze it in. Perfectly happy with the material, zips & general build quality. The handles & straps are also in the right place to balance out nicely as well compared to some others I have had in the past which cost a lot more money.

I have the two rod version. And my net has to go in with the rods. As it's designated pocket it far to tight.
Apart from that ok nice and light.

Not had any problems fitting the 46” arms & mesh from my Horizon X Landing net in the zipped pocket on the 3 rod.

Thanks for the feedback guy's, all good points to know.. My main bugbear with all gear is crappy zips, nice to hear these seem fine. Most likely I'll get the 12' 3 rod ..
Cheers

Good to hear, I have a century 42 net, wrap it up fairly tight. But it still feels like I'm gonna tear something trying to force it in. Mentioned it on Korda Facebook, but no reply.
