| 'BRILLIANT' | | Strengths:
Light, Easy to carry, Well Made, Great accesories | | Weaknesses:
None | | Overall:
Fantastic love the all the pockets just right for me for both short sessions but also slightly longer overnighters or weekend sessions. Being a Barbel and Bream angler it doubles up as both with enough room to keep both sets of tackle well. So i can grab my bag and go. |

| 'GOOD RUCKSACK' | | Strengths:
Well organised with the provided boxes providing plenty of storage for most of your tackle.Good insulated storage space for your sarnies and a cold drink or fresh bait. Good firm base to stand up on and separate storage for bait if required. Good strong material and well padded in the required areas.The bait boxes are OK if you keep them out of the dishwasher or really hot water. | | Weaknesses:
A bit picky but the carrying straps could do with a cross chest piece as I find they can slip. The side pockets are slightly too short for my flask to fit in. | | Overall:
Comfortable to carry roomy without being too big. Accessory boxes provided make it great value for my money. |

| 'I LIKE MINE!' | | Strengths:
Strong and tough, made to last. I bought mine as a secondary tackle holder, for taking to girl friends at weekends, so I had a bit of tackle for fishing when she was working, it is fast becoming my main tackle holder! | | Weaknesses:
As already mentioned by other members the bait boxes. | | Overall:
Over all a lovely piece of kit, I wouldn't swap mine. |

| 'TACKLE MANAGER' | | Strengths:
Built to last, with very well thought out organised storage. Cool compartment is a great idea. The lumbar support and waist strap make it comfortable to carry long distances. I don't drive, so have to walk and use public transport to most venues. With this rucksack I don't end up with backache before I've arrived! In addition, the waterproof detachable cover in the top is a great idea. The rigid base means it always sits upright and is also roomy and strong enough to safely accommodate my small Shimano reels.[Update 21/10/07] Very well planned out storage which fits the bag perfectly. Adjustable compartments and good depth for larger items, with two spool holders, and two hook/bits boxes. | | Weaknesses:
Bait tubs could be improved. Rucksack is a little on the heavy side, but then I guess it wasn't designed for a female angler![Update 21/10/07] Extra tackle box a bit overpriced at £19.99, and seriously overpackaged, coming in a cardboard sleeve inside a clear plastic box. | | Overall:
After looking for a decent rucksack since I started fishing, I believe this is one of the best on the market. Affordable price without compromising on quality.[Update 21/10/07] I've just added the Tackle Manager box to my rucksack. Now I have all my tackle well organised, with room to spare. A bit overpriced, but worth it to me to have everything easily to hand. |

| 'ALMOST PERFECT, BUT NOT QUITE!' | | Strengths:
Comfortable for a long hike.
Just about a perfect size for general river fishing.
Love the cool compartment. | | Weaknesses:
No straps to carry an unhooking mat or a top coat. Has a couple of D rings but they are not enough.
A little heavy. | | Overall:
Bought this to replace my 8 year old Wychwood rucksack which finally bit the dust. Looks to be the best thought out rucksack on the market at present, but why haven't they included some straps or a few more D rings?
Haven't used the bait tubs or the accessory boxes as my Chub tackle box fits perfectly in the front pocket. |

| 'SIMPLE AND GREAT TO USE ' | | Strengths:
Design is right dimensions, has a good position on the back so doesnt rub or swing | | Weaknesses:
baitboxes flimsy twisty turney things | | Overall:
I have had my Korum Rucksack about four months now and its been soaked, mud covered, dust covered, bramble pulled and generally abused - and its great. Not too big so you carry far too much but also not so small that you cant either roam on a river or spend a day behind your alarms. A bit of advise is dont put the baitboxes in the dishwasher (which you can do with the Fox bait boxes) or they come out as twisty turny things - which is my only gripe - but a bit of a spoiler non the less which could be easily fixed. |

| 'LOVE IT!' | | Strengths:
very good quality and a well thought out design. The accessory boxes. | | Weaknesses:
Bait boxes a waste of time but don't let them put you off. | | Overall:
A lovely rucksack for short sessions, such a shame it's been made less than perfect by supplying it with rubbish bait boxes. |

| 'BRILLIANT RUCKER' | | Strengths:
just a great design that makes the most of the space available. The accessory boxes are worth nearly as much as the rucker. Reckon it up for yourself. | | Weaknesses:
Those bloody bait boxes! | | Overall:
Great kit and exceptional value with the accessory boxes |
