I'm looking to upgrade my rod bag, and I've narrowed it down the following two options:
Aqua Black Series Full Rod Holdall
https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/aqua-black-series-full-rod-holdall
or
Trakker NXG 6 Rod Holdall
https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/trakker-nxg-6-rod-holdall
I really can't decide between the two, so I was wondering whether anyone had any experience with either.
Thanks,
Dan

I have the nxg in 10' 3 rod version and find it excellent value

I have the Trakker nxg one bud had it for a while and still looks brand new, no problem at all with it
I had a 10 ft nxg and it started falling apart after only a few uses. Personally I wouldn't buy either of those ,and have a look at the Speero range
Wouldn't touch either of those either.
I'd say Korda is worth a look. I've got a rod bag, a couple of sleeves and a rucksack. All well made and not stupidly priced either.
Some people dislike the colour but I really like it.

I have the NXG 3 rod 13ft and I'm really impressed. My mate bought the Aqua around the same time and was disappointed with it when he saw my trakker one. He was also a bit disappointed with the outer pocket on the Aqua being quite small.

I have the Aqua Tri something or other along with 6 or 7 other bits, and as stated the bankstick pocket is useless on the rod holdall.I keep my bacy and lighter in it
Seems it pot luck with Aqua luggage,it's either just ok or crap.
One things for sure with Aqua,buy any luggage,expect to make a trip to the local recycling facility with their overly( and it's excessive) packaging.
Avoid would be my advice.

Which one did you get in the end? I'm looking at getting the NXG 12ft 6 rod holdall as I used to have Trakker luggage years ago and am getting back into carp fishing.

Had a 5 rod holdall 20 20 years ago and it was excellent quality (not sure if it was NXG though as not sure how long the NXG range has been out. Very tempted to get the 6 rod version now. Been meaning to get a stalker/surface rod for ages so the 6 rod would accommodate everything.

Got an Aqua rod bag, same practically as the Trakker one. Found it useless as my reels didn't fit properly, plus everything was all scrunched up together and sod all room really for bank sticks and what-not.
Got a Cotswold Aquarius Savay Master...it's the nuts, much better than that Aqua/ Trakker tatt.

Bloody expensive though. I suppose that when you consider the price of rods it's worth the protection and I'm looking at getting some custom built so £250 isn't expensive in the grand scheme of things.
I've been looking at the Trakker nxg 6 rod holdall though as the reel section is supported with a rigid board of some kind and although they are £140 RRP I can get it from Fishing Republic using my wife's discount card for £104.
