I know a few on here are using 12ft6 rods and with my pending order id like to know what bags you are using? Ideally id like a bag rather than a quiver. From what ive read some 12ft bags fit them in where as the 13ft are rather baggy.

Just get a 13 foot bag, not many make specific 12'6 ones is any. Most people I know use quivers as guaranteed virtually to accept it

This is one situation where I would prefer baggy over tight. Go with 13ft.

I have individual sleeves from Cult Tackle which although sold as 13ft at the time they would not have fitted 13ft rods, but as mine are 12ft 9in they are perfect.
I saw they started selling a 12ft 9in version soon afterwards so probably decided they were getting too many returns. Might be worth a look if they do a three rod bag, I think that their quality is excellent.

Go for a 13' triple sleeve and put trakker tip tops on them - they're stiff walled (not neoprene) , will add at least 3-4inches and save you worrying about the excess area bending / compressing etc

Perfect thank you.
I emailed cotswold and they said they would make me one with a £10 surcharge. Good value from them that!
