Luggage

Spending so much time on the banks, we are fortunate enough to notice certain trends and what surprised us is the amount of people not using rucksacks.

Okay, so barrows have exploded on the scene but have we all forgotten just how useful a rucksack can be? Forget pushing a ton of gear around and think about reducing what you take to spend less time sorting through terminal tackle and more time putting carp on the bank. If Carlsberg did luggage, the chances are it would be labelled Aqua and with two awesome rucksacks in the exciting new Black Series range, we thought we would take a closer look.

Built from the ever-trusty Endura fabric, with reinforced base and straps, both items are built with longevity in mind.

First up we have the large variant, with an exceptional 90-litre capacity for the angler who likes to have all bases covered. The generous volume of the freestanding rucksack is enhanced further with an array of external pockets, while a weather flap provides protection to the large main compartment. Built with versatility in mind, it is oversized to accommodate several Black Series luggage items, such as the Standard Cool Bag, Brew Kit Bag, Buzz Bar Bag, Rig Wallet and Bank Stick Roll, to name but a few, as well as spare clothes, bedchair covers and other large items.

Some of you are probably thinking: “Whoa, that’s a little too much.” Well why not try the compact version? With a much smaller capacity, this is suited to roving anglers who prefer to stay mobile. Again being modular it is easy to use and a doddle to pack away but you don’t feel yourself obliged to take unnecessary items because you simply don’t have the room. This will work seamlessly alongside the Roving Rig Wallet, Roving Buzz Bar Bag, Large and Small Bitz Bags, as well as getting your lunch packed away. (DM)
