I am buying a pair of expensive Harrison 12ft rods 40mm but rings
that I want to carry made up and I want GOOD protection 2 or 3 rod

my other rods I have in Korum total protection hard cases but want something different
on paper the Trakker NXG 2-Rod Padded Sleeve 12ft looks good but not seen one in the flesh so any owners care to comment and any other suggestions please ?
edit just seen a pic of the
Korum Transition 3 Rod Folding Rod Holdall that looks a contender too ?

I'm a fussy so n so ,when it comes to looking after gear..

I rate the Nash double rod skin,or sleeve,I use the NGT ,tip and butt protection, had it a long time,no issues with zips or anything at all..

It comes with a detachable strap if you want to hand carry..

I find it a good bit of kit,and it gets used a lot

Oh,yes,nearly forgot,I chose it specifically as its a reel FIRST holdall,rod first entry sleeves ,especially with multiple rods in reels I would not buy..

Nash 12ft double rod skin is decent that's what I used when I used to use 12ft rods

Had never considered korda for luggage but as per the 13ft thread I bought the 12ft three rod version of this and very impressed.

I have the trakker nxg 3-rod sleeve and it gives good protection . So much so that having changed my rods to 12'6 I have just bought the 13' version . Not too big and heavy whilst giving decent protection .

Have had a few over the years; now using this Aqua one in the link below and think it'll be a keeper - it's very durable and protection is excellent. Tips and butts protected via velcro pockets at each end and reels fit nicely. Have a look at one if you get a chance.

I have a couple of sets of NXGs and use them with rod tip covers and trakkers reel seat pouches along with Neoprene Velcro straps top n bottom. Out of the seven one has a poorly sone butt end which it's a bit of a pain. The neoprene rod straps get caught in the bottom and are a pain to extract on occasion overall they do a decent job. Having said that I have a pair of fishrite sleeves and the zip is on the other side ( rather than the underneath the reel it runs the length of the butt past the reel handle and ends and runs long the top of the blank. These are much better than the NXGs by a country mile superb slid the front end in and zip up the NXGs in comparison are ok.'all cost loads and won't change them as they cost a small fortune and do the job. That aside I'd get a similar type to the Fishrite all day long given the chance.

When a rod and reel costs the best part of £600 then a rod sleeve and accessories is worthwhile.

That they did. The rod sleeves are superb, I have a pair of 13' sleeves and they are so much easier to use then the Trakker design. Sadly I've not found any that are made in a similar fashion which is frustrating.

I was only thinking yesterday they all need to make room for tip butt protectors I have a ta quiver and I have to squeeze the butts in bottom and when I take a rod out 9 out of 10 I have to pull it out leaving the butt protector in the quiver good gear but considering they sell them I thought it would have been tested
The korda gear is expensive and The colour is a bit odd

Ive only owned a couple of bits of korda luggage which where the compac pouches and all the zips broke within a couple of months so put me buying anything else and agree about the colour its awful.
