Rucksack advice

[Beaker]

I have been sorting my gear out, which is stored in the garage, and I noticed my rucksack is beoynd repair.
I use it for short sessions and roving on rivers, so I dont need anything too large as long as it ha sgot a few pockets. So any advice from the great and the good would be helpful, cheers.

I like the Korum bag,which you can clip the chair to if you are Arnie.Without putting the chair on its roomy with plenty of pockets inside and out. It lies flat so all the kit is easy to see and get at. The bottom of it is tough and waterproofed all in all a lovely bit of kit with good zips as well.

If you wait for the summer Aldi fishing stuff to come in then they do an excellent little bag for under a tenner which other makes such as Chub et al stick their label on and charge you £35.


Great little summer roving bag, Ive got 3!

Doesn't that defeat the object of travelling light when roving, ain't it a bit awkward trying to carry 3 bags at once?......LOL!!

Is it that tricky, I've got the chair and was thinking about the Korum bag (already got the Aldi one for a tenner)

Drennan Super specialist rucksack every time for me. I've had mine for years - one main compartment and 3 generous outside pockets with a good rubberised base. Also well padded. No zips to break either and best of all comes in two sizes. I find the 25ltr perfectly adequate for a days fishing on the river yours for less than £30.

I myself being a hill walker have given this some thought. The best way to load a rucksack is to load the heavy gear high up and against the back as this aids your centre of gravity, I cannot see the point in having something like a carp chair hanging off the back of a rucksack as this would alter your COG, unbalancing you, and would make it very awkward and IMO very dangerous to walk even a short distance.
I know Korum make some dam fine gear, but whoever designed this bag as obviously never used a rucksack before!

The folded up chair hangs between the ruckbag and your back Mark. It's balanced enough and reasonably easy to carry for fairly long distances (compared to my old seat box anyway).

I have the Korum accessory chair and XL ruckbag, both of which I'm very happy with - although it has occured to me that I now lose 15 mins fishing time unfolding chair legs and screwing bait trays and rests on etc!

I'd vote for Korum - got the rucksack but when it packs in - not for years yet I'll get the ruckbag
