Which 12ft rod sleeve? (13 posts / 2,026 views)

I'm looking for a 12ft 2 or 3 rod sleeve not intended for 50mm eyes or bit pit reels.

Any out there people have used that are better suited to SS2600 reels and 12ft rods with normal eyes?

Did think about the korum one but would prefer soft/light.

I have been using wraps and a quiver, but had enough of the line snagging on everything!

Depends what level of protection you are after? Personally I find the padded sleeves a PITA when you're trying to pack down, they seem to have a mind of their own when you're trying to stash a rod and decent sized reel into them. I just use the speero reel pouch and tip top system now.

Anyway back to your question:-

The thinking anglers ones would definitely fit the be lightweight requirement. And would stop your tangles. It's also compatible with their quiver.

Sorry want very clear, I'm after one that two or three rods can slip into and be zipped up rather than individuals.

Something like a trakker or Nash trisleeve just not for big pits if possible

I've got the 5 rod one, tight fit for 5 rods but very good quality from korda as is most of their luggage range

Drennan Specialist 2 Rod sleeve (for 12' Rods) . . they also do single sleeve versions (Drennan Specialist Long) compatible for their slings etc I have and use both . . .my floater set up(s) are in the 2 Rod (with SS2600s) and the slings are for barbel set ups . .

I've got two of the Nash two rod sleeves. They've got a zip running straight down the 'spine' rather than round the reels like some. This definitely lessens the chance of snagging the line when zipping up.
They also have little bankstick and lead pockets, as well as being able to take another sleeve or landing net etc.
I've got some velcro straps that I use for joining the two together for transport.

Thanks, found a new cygnet one for £30 delivered, it is for big pits but for the price couldn't grumble.

Have a Nash 13ft one for my other rods and agree they are very good 👍

+1 for the Drennan's.
But for things like rod sleeves I think it's worth keeping an eye on anything going second hand that's looked after and suites your needs

I have two of the Speero 12ft 5/6 Rod Holdall DPM Camo - not sure if thats a little big for what you require? but I am very happy with the build quality of them - had them a couple of years and nothing has fallen off or broken yet.
Are you sure?
