Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• 8-Tube Main Compartment: The internal space is optimized to hold eight standard 60mm protective tubes. Each tube is secured by internal Velcro retaining straps, preventing them from shifting or clashing during transport.

• Boot-Loading Handle: A unique and highly practical feature is the base handle. This allows you to easily slide the holdall in and out of your vehicle trunk or van without straining the main carrying straps or your back.

• Large Bellowed External Pocket: The massive 158cm external pocket features a double-zip closure (accessible from both top and bottom). It is perfectly sized for long accessories like umbrellas, landing net handles, and banksticks, keeping them separate from your delicate pole sections.

• Full-Length Accessibility: The high-quality blue zip runs the entire length of the holdall, allowing it to be opened completely flat for organized packing and instant access to specific kits.

Ideal Usage Scenarios

• Competitive Match Fishing: When you need to carry a full 16m pole plus multiple top kits, power kits, and cupping kits in a single, organized unit.

• Festival Angling: The 195cm length comfortably accommodates even the longest pole sections and 2-piece rod designs, making it a versatile all-in-one transport solution.

• Harsh Weather Protection: The heavy-duty PVC canvas is entirely impermeable, meaning your pole sections and kits stay dry even if the holdall is left on a wet bank during a downpour.

• Professional Organization: Use the internal Velcro straps to group your Match kits together and your Power kits separately, allowing for a faster setup when you reach your peg.

Gerrys Tip: To keep this holdall looking and performing its best, I recommend occasionally wiping down the blue zips with a dry cloth to remove any dried groundbait or dust. Because the PVC is Heavy Duty, you can literally hose off the bottom of the bag after a muddy sessionjust make sure its dry before you put your pole tubes back in
