Korum Total protection 2 Rod Quiver

Dave Matthews · Mar 21, 2013

Hi All, after reliving my childhood and doing some river fishing this winter and trying to adapt my match gear to the river, its clear that i need to take much less gear to the bank and that would include my 10 rod holdall its not easy lugging that around as i have found out. I have been looking at the above and it looks ideal to carry 2 made up rods and landing net/ banksticks, but I have a question whether its capable of taking a 50" brolly, in the pictures it not clear where you would store a brolly, and I was just wondering if anyone has one and can confirm it before I take the plunge ready for the new season.

Just a note of caution - if you are planning to take match style float rods don't use a quiver, unless you have them in a rod sleeve too. Been there, done that, repaired the broken eyes...

hi there
My mate got one in January for his pair of barbel rods. He manages to get his Preston Flat back 50' brolly in the outside pocket no sweat (easier if you use its carry cover). Not sure a larger 50' with storm sides like my Korum would fit though, not tried.

The reel pouches are not designed for bigger reels than say a Shimano 4000 range. My 8010's definitely won't fit.
It looks a decent piece of kit, he is very pleased with it.
cheers

Presuming that you mean this?
If so, yes, you can carry a brolly. I carry a Daiwa match brolly with mine.
If you look at the top picture, it fits into the pouch at the top left, runs along the length of the quiver underneath the strap and carrying handle loops.
No bother at all with broken rod rings, but, as Gareth suggests, you have to be careful about the reel sizes. It's also worth considering the length of the butt/reel seat position on the rods you intend to use. There is a bit of leeway but you may struggle a little with some modern "commercial" rods with short butts.

I've got one and it will take a 50" brolly.

As already said, it is a bit tight on reel size though. I can get a couple of Daiwa Regal 5000s or Shimano 8000 Aeros, but it is a squeeze. No problems with damaged rod rings - yet.

Ignore what I said earlier, I've just seen the picture from Sam's post - different altogether from what I had problems with

I have one and no you cannot fit a brolly in the pocket, the protective cover is a little tight for my rods and 4000 size reels and before you ask no I don't like it! Much better of with the three rod size which will take a large brolly easily. Do I have one? Yes I do and do I like it? Very much so!

PS: In brolly I mean a large specialist brolly, not a mamby pamby match model!

I think you'll find that the one I linked to, and took the picture of, is the Korum Total Protection Two Rod Quiver. That's precisely what's embroidered on the side of it.

And it takes a 50" brolly. Which is what the OP asked.

Yep... not sure any of the holdalls really take a full carp style 60' brolly with sides. My JRC is way too big for any of the three different brand rod holdalls I own.
But for day brollies the Korum seems fine.

I found that my two rod quiver was way to small for my proper brolly but it will take the match type as you say, no good for me though as I need a brolly big enough for night use!

I used to have the total protection quiver but I found it to bulky and my 12ft rods where a tight fit, I nearly broke the tips off squeazing them in. I found them alkward when zipping them up, I found the things would drop off at the end leaving my rods poking out into the air...needless to say I sold it. I much prefer the smaller lighter quivers.

Yeah tiggs, they don't give you a lot of room to squeeze your rods in!

When roving a river I don't bother with a brolly, just make sure you are kitted out with appropriate clothing.

The korum quiver (2 rod) can be tight in the butt pockets to hold three piece rods. I dont use the pockets but place the rods in the main compartment that way you don't damage the rod guides. My John wilson travel fits completely inside the draw string compartment very well protected.They are not perfect but at the mo have not found anything better.
