I've got a real mix-match of luggage, and its playing havoc with my mild-OCD.

What's the best out there, all looks much of muchness in terms of quality but dare i say it NASH looks like it might just edge it in terms of practicality.

Only fish quick overnights and speed /mobility / weight would be key consideration, as need to mobile, on and off barrow and have steep banks to navigate.

I won a full set of Korda compac luggage a few years ago.

The biggest compliment it can give me is that its still going with no issues, no damaged zips or rips etc. And that nothing else had ever made me think its worth changing it.

Mine was the original green version of the stuff and i do believe that since the camo range came out some more improvements in the material have to both the green and camo.


Also another shout that i was also gifted is a TA camo cool bag, enough to cover me for 48hours and its never missed a beat and is fairly efficient at staying cool (still a cool box will always out perform it)

Got to agree the Korda Compac is spot on, normally I tend to break things but this has been going strong for over three plus years - I've no reason to change, although I do possess two plastic collboxes..

I'd say Speero in terms of build quality / materials / zips. . .but I do covet Korda Compac dark camo for reasons I cannot explain . . . . . as a historic camo-hater it feels like forbidden fruit

Used speero for years after paying daft cotswold prices and its the exact same material as cotswold but better made and better thought out. I have probably every bag they make and not one of them has failed. They also do a bag for everything. My next choice would be korda or carplfe bit not much in carplife range but probably berter made than all of them.

ive got alot of speero luggage, my rucksack has ripped at the top on the putside where the inside pocket would be...tbf they seen a post i made about it and they sent me a compact one foc which I already had tbh for day sessions etc...I couldn't complain as it was free but didnt resolve my ripped rucksack problem lol so I now have 2 compact rucksacks and im still.using the ripped full size rucksack which I prefer.

They have been saying for ages that they are releasing a 3 rod 12ft holdall which doesnt seem to be coming out and tbh im sick of sleeves and quiver and sick of waiting so im probably going to change over to the carplife luggage which I quite like.

When speero first came out they were quite keen but I think since gardner have got involved it
seems to have taken a bit of a back seat.

I know you said you have mild ocd but does your current luggage do what you want it to?
The reason I ask is if you buy all matching stuff it's unlikely to do everything you want it to and that will wind you up.

I'm really not into camo either...however....I did like the look of the original Nash dark camo from a few years ago...but resisted my inner demons.

Roll forward to last month and I bought a Korda Dark Camo spool case......well....it's going to spend it's life in a draw isn't it...... I feel dirty...I likey

I reckon it'd look great en mass. As a lover of modular luggage Nash & Korda seem to do a lot from recent searches but my gear is mixed and will probably stay that way as things wear at different rates and I won't replace just to match stuff.

Another vote for Speero, I've got various bits of it and it's been bombproof.

Also in agreement that they seem to have slowed down since Gardner got involved/took over... Didn't it used to be owned by the same lot who make the Jack Pyke country/shooting clobber?

Ive had loads of different luggage from Cotswold Aquarius,Fox,Speero,Trakker and now the Korda.The two best by a mile for build quality,padding and lasting is Speero and Korda.I switched to Korda from Speero as I preferred the korda rucksack as more comfortable and Speero range was lacking a few items at the time

I have stuff ranging from chub to greys to Aqua esp and thinking anglers and Korda
I buy it because it may do something I want it to not because of the brand.
When something better comes out that replaced piece will go into the shed lol

Highly recommend the thinking anglers camflek, been spot on for me so far since it came out. No damage at all so far. Older sets were trakker nxg which was OK and the old nash barrow logic range. If I was currently in the market I do like the look of the speero luggage and has some great reviews on this thread Ÿ‘Œ

I was a trakker NXG user for years .
Now I've scaled down my gear to be more mobile I use Thinking anglers luggage in the olive (camo is for soldiers)

Can't fault the gear and the price of it ...
Are you sure?
