Carp Life rucksack, love it - I get everything I need including bait and food in there.
Not as small as the TA one or the lovely ESP one, but I found them both too small for me.
Headsup with the Carplife rucksack, the bankstick holders are too close together.

I have a couple of the classic Aqua rucksacks, i think they are about 35 litre size.
One for barbel and one for the carp. I like a rucky with a wide base so it doesn't want to flop over, particularly important on the river banks.
If I'm doing a evening and short night just on my chair under a brolly I take flask and butties.
If I'm doing a 2-3 day sesh the other clutter goes in a large holdall, and bedchair and other stuff goes on the barrow.

The Drennan Specimen Unhooking Mat is the same size / construction as the ESP Quickdraw Compact (albeit its green not camo) however the clips are a different size so only the Drennan mats (including the Specialist Compact which is the smallest/simple roll up) will clip to the Drennan 20l Roving /30l & 40l rucksacks . . .

The dutch army oack is around $65 here, so not much difference to the likes of Drennan e5c.
Thanks tor the replies, I think I'm now leaning towards the Drenna 30 L.
I see it matches the Specialist Compact mat, but I'm wondering if the Drennan version of the Quickdraw maat will also clip to the 30 L ?

Drennan Specialist 40l is comfy and carries a lot - you can also clip the specific Specialist quickdraw mat to it (the ESP quickdraw mat has different sized clips so won't connect). . .I also have the 20l Specialist Roving bag; use this for floater fishing / holiday fishing / trotting for barbel etc

Living in the states I would have thought you have great access to military packs.

I now use the Drennan also. tried a few others along the way and found this the most versatile with plenty of storage available in 30ltr and 40ltr. comfortable enough and has stood the test of time.

I have the Drennan rucksack for my day fishing and it's ideal. Big enough to get all my gear and a flask in but not too big to be bulky or difficult to carry

ESP quickdraw is pretty big (good rucksack though), if need smaller just for days have a look at Drennan specialist luggage. They do a rucksack and a roving bag. Speero luggage also quality

I've recently upgraded to the speero compact modular rucksack, haven't done a long walk with it yet, but quality feels good.
