Any reviews on these - looking for a well padded rod holdall. I've heard the 3 rod version is a tight fit with 3 rods in so maybe it might be worth me buying the 5 rod

I have one the clues in the name compact it is tight with the rods I was disappointed in the the long if you can call them that long pockets on the outside I've gone back to using my trakker

Tight enough that I have wondered if the reels are being adequately protected - that's the 3 rod version. 2 rod version is fine.

I took mine back as it was too tight (with 5500 reels!) I got the 5 rod version instead and it's much better. The back pockets are still far too small but I only keep my distance sticks in there anyway.

Really like it, decent fit and the rods are nice and snug. Fits 14000 power aeros no problem. If i were to buy again though would get the carp life one after seeing it at a show, just looks slightly better protection and build quality (not that the korda is bad).

I went to the Big One looking to get the the Korda sleeve. Ended up pre-ordeing a CarpLife one instead as seemed superior. Took delivery this week and really impressed with it - not sure what it would be like with proper big pits though (ai have daiwa 25as in there).

I've been using the sonik one for a while now with no problems, fits my rods and big pits in fine.

Yeah same, recently got a bank-tek 3 rod compact sleeve good padding, balances well with rods up and down and folds out so more decent pockets and clips than I've figured out what to do with.

Only 60 quid too 👍

The newer Dark camo range has more room around it for big pits compared to the older green one.

I have it on good authority that when they updated the range with dark camo they decided to make a bit more room as it was tight.

I had the 5 rod 12ft version with 4x 12'6 rods which was a extremely tight fit, recently moved to the 13ft configuration and loads more room around the reels
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
