I need to carry three rods (one of them a spod rod), banksticks, landing net and a shelter/brolly like an ESP Lo-Pro or Trakker Tempest Brolly 100T.
What would everyone recommend? I'll be using a barrow if it make any difference. I feel like if I get a quiver, sleeves etc then it's a bit of a faff and I may as well have just got a holdall? Also Would any holdalls be able to take all of this or would I need to carry the brolly/shelter separately?

korda compac holdall is decent, thick padded, i have the 3 rod for my my 2 12ft and Xte 14000 reels, in the middle i put my landing net/handle and on the outside i put my feeder rod sleeve.

I can fit my tempest brolly (mk1 with no front, but has skull cap) into my trakker 5 rod quiver.
I use the quiver all the time. If I'm using my barrow I put the bivvy on separately, but sometimes I'm carrying it all together.

I've used a quiver since I started carp fishing in late '80's. Always carry my rods built up, and a decent sized quiver will easily take 3 rods plus a shelter. The only thing you have to be careful with is that the shelter isn't top heavy - if it is, you end up carrying the quiver horizontally. Obviously, not a problem if it's on a barrow.

A quiver with all rods in sleeves etc is a faff, and an expensive one imo.
I recommend the trakker 3 rod sleeve, the shelter I would put on the barrow separately.

Thinking Anglers quiver and sleeves for me,I throw my pio on the barrow.
My rods stay made up I just put a filter tip on my hooks so they don't snag the sleeves when removing them.

I use both depending on what fishing I'm doing - generally for big pit reels and main carp rods made up with rigs attached a Trakker NXG 3 Rod sleeve offers the best protection and is the quickest / easiest with 2x nets and a sling in a pocket and a utility rod strapped to the outside; however for days / 10' rods I use a sling with reel protectors and tip tops just to keep the weight down as it can stow a brolly in the central section and other bits; also use this set up for barbel (over a 2 rod sleeve that I also own) primarily because its lighter; marginally more faff but worth the weight saving with no barrow etc

Having used both for the last 20+ years I have just gone back to a holdall/ padded sleeve that holds 3 rods (Trakker NXG). To me a quiver and sleeves is too unwieldy when walking through overgrowth, there's too much to snag. Plus Setting up and packing down actually takes longer IMO.

Looking at that one now, does anyone know the difference between that and the Compac Divide Rod Holdall?

The divide your rods are in separate compartments but it has no padding in it

i like the speero compact rod sling - really good quality for 40 quid

Trakker NXG is cheaper and more padded - Compac is pretty much a copycat design in a weird turd/indigestion brown colour

I keep my rods and landing net in a Fox Specialist sling:

I can clip it to my bivvy bag, but the centre pocket is big enough for an umbrella.
