Thread: Your favourite fishing trousers?

The time has come to renew the wardrobe of fishing trousers!
Been looking at the Korda Original Kombats and Heavy Joggers, but I'm not sure about the carp-tax!
Anyone have any recommendations for eBay or Amazon?
Also, I normally wear a light material trouser. Do you think joggers would be more comfortable in the summer?

Thread: What is the best rod holdall?

This really depends on how you like to pack your rods, swap a lot, take just enough or 5.
I recently went from Speedo quiver and sleeves to Korda Compac 5 Rod. Love it and find it more compact and just easier to use. I use 3 + Spod in winter and 2 + Spod in summer, and I'm wondering if would have been even more compact with a 3 Rod sleeve and separate 1 Rod to attach in winter. But I do like the space to carry 2 nets and 2 retention slings on the outside.

Another vote for the Matrix 3k camo.
I did tie a little knot in the drawcord to tighten the arms a little (personal preference), but a quality light net

I can fit my sp-tech bedchair under mine.
Much more room with my benchmark lite though!

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate the comments.
I've decided to go with a set of Mini Microns X's.
I have a set of TXi-d's at the moment so will hang on to them. If I don't like the fox's I'll sell em and go back to the dell's. If I feel like I need more features I sell both and get some RX+'s.

I have a Solar Undercover.
Must say I find it really easy to use, good coverage and the large vent at the back a god send on really hot days

I'm thinking of changing my alarms as I just fancy a change.
Option's are Mini Micron X or Micron RX+.
Big price difference, and is it worth it? I tend not to fiddle with settings once set up, so really just fit n forget!
Is the extra sensitivity and maybe range on the RX+ really worth the high price?

I have a set of original ISO's and cannot fault them. Never missed a beat even though only serviced once in 20 years! I now have them on my 12ft 2.5lb daiwa whiskers
I had a set of 14000XTB's which I sold. Recently bought a set of Basia 45's. Thought about the 14000XTD's, but the super slow oscillation would do my head in trying to line up handles and spool out/in!!!
