So I have bought a couple of 10 foot scopes to keep in my van, paired these with a couple of Ultegra 5500. I bought a scope Ops holdall online, looks tidy and well made, the problem, really struggle to get the reels in, as a result, rods too.
Any thoughts, will it stretch, anybody else have the same problem, anything better out there ffs

I went through a few rod bags for 10fters. What ever rod bag I went for my previous Penn reel and currently XTC's didn't fit very well. So I have and ended up with 4 x Thinking Anglers rod sleeves and an ESP quiver which is also quite compact but can carry a 60" brolly, net, weigh sling etc.
Think the sleeves are only available from Prolite and they're not cheap, but I've been really happy with mine LINKY POO™ https://proliteexplorer.co.uk/product/thinking-anglers-camfleck-single-rod-sleeve/

I have a couple of the Cult holdalls (i have 2 sets of 10ft retractable rods) amd they are ideal. Plenty of room so I am not squeezing them in and enough padding to give me confidence

I think Aqua made something similar at one time. Look OK but I would like a bit more protection if possible

The cult ones offer less protection than the sleeves, but the are massive

Trakker NXG or NXC 10ft 3 rod retractable rod sleeve is decent plenty of space best one I've found

As mention the, the Cult tackle one.ihave the two rod version and manage to get two rods with big pit reels in one side. The other side holds another rod woth a few other bits thrown in there. Throwing stick etc. Brilliant holdall at a good price.

Daft question, will these fit the Scopes with reels?

Like the look of the Speero Retractable Rod Bag DPM, looks like the Cotswold stuff that I have. Anybody using the one for retractable rods, will I get a decent sized reel in there?

I found both the Speero and the Korda one tight around the reels - bail arms stuck out quite a bit and was a faff making sure they were facing towards the blank to help sliding them in.
Like I said, I tried a few 😂😂

Good feedback mate
Out of interest, what reels are you using?

I use the ESP QuickDraw 3 rod hold-all with Shimano 5500s, I like it as the reels go in face down with plenty of room.

2nd vote for the Trakker NXC-R
Good amount of room but compact too

I also use the latest ESP Quickdraw 3 rod holdall, it's probably the best holdall I have owned for space and ease of fitting rods/reels since it has 3 separate rod sections, each with an individual zipper.
Both the ESP and Sonik extractable rods I own fit and easy to fit big pit reels and 50mm rings.
