Gents,

Scopes arrived, very happy with them and pair well with the ss2600's I also ordered.

Transport wise, I need something suitable and was looking at the R10, anyone else use this and would you recommend?

Like the idea of a bag to take most of my tackle as I only do day or 34 hour sessions.

Cheers

I wouldn't get that . It must be like carrying a coffin. Have a look at the scope ops 3 rod skin. They are back in stock now.

I have Cotswold pace compacts which are very similar, did have scopes previously but I got rid, that's another story.

I've got a single and 2 rod skin which works fine, as one of my tickets is 2 rods only so it means I can leave the third at home.

Wouldn't advise on the transporter bag, as post 2 said it looks like a coffin and I don't like the concept.

I've been looking at the cult tackle 3 rod rod bag.

My pal has a transporter and its a massively bulky piece of kit may be ok if you are carrying on a barrow but as a holdall its virtually useless in my opinion

As said already, looks like a good idea,BUT, in my case everything you want first is at the bottom, as for moving it about I adapted a lightweight sack barrow kinda worked but got p***** off so much I sold it and got the double and single skins, still got the barrow though

As requested - feedback re the cult tackle rod holder.

Overall it isn't bad for the money, the zips seem decent quality , materials again seem decent.

The lack of padding for me is the issue, it really is minimal. Coming from Speero luggage, it feels like a big step down in quality / protection.

So the Nash 3 rod skins hasn't arrived, but I returned this today anyway as I would be too concerned with rod damage to feel happy using it.

But again, it's £50 so actually decent value. If I had dwarfs or soniks I would have probably kept it.

Ive got the R9 transporter. I liked the idea of it as id only need to take a mat in addition to the bag. As others have allluded to, it is an utter pig to carry due to its shape. One of my shorter carry handles came unstitched withing 6 months, a zip on one the top compartments has split and you lose stuff between the three compartments

Nice idea, but as is often the reality, i may as well have eaten 190 quid
