Since every time someone mentions anything to do with rod carrying/storage it throws up a variety of differing opinions about carrying rods made-up or broken down, I thought it might be nice to see what everyone uses?
I’ve had the Korum 2 and 3 rod quivers and found them okay but a bit short on central storage when taking a large-ish brolly like a Korum and, say, a pole as well as made up rods. I found the butt pockets very tight and the top bands not roomy enough for a pole. Outside storage for banksticks and net poles etc was okay. The Plastic carabiner “dog lead” clips on the carrying strap used to dig into my shoulder making anything other than a two-minute walk very uncomfortable. They also had a habit of unclipping themselves for no good reason.
I now use this Trakker NXG 3 Rod Quiver which I find very roomy with sensible sized butt pockets and good length Velcro rod holders and an additional protective band over the Velcro straps to prevent any damage to rods in cluttered cars.
The outer storage pockets are capacious and the carrying strap is wide, well padded and sewn into place. I think, like my chair, net handle, Drennan bucket and feeder rod, this is a “Eureka” piece of kit which, having found it, I will not need to ever replace or “upgrade”
