Advice Rod holdall/quiver

[Thrasher]

My hold-all was removed from a skip many years ago! Cannot remember the make as it’s in the garage and pissing down outside! It would have been expensive in its day though I’m sure, really heavy well made thing. It has shoulder straps and a carry handle.

Lol, chances of me finding one in a skip is slim, good find though.
Might invest in one, not a bank breaker.

I bought one of these last month as a birthday present well impressed with the Quality of it and looks it will last a long time.

I had that type but I didn’t like the exposed ends of 2 piece rods.

Im not a fan. Got the Salt one which gets used occasionally but I normally just strap two rods and a tripod together.

Don’t do tents!

I never have my rods loose in my holdalls, always in their bags, rods are tools, and a good craftsman looks after his tools.

Lol, I am in the Wingnut shopping camp.
You obviously have the wrong view of fishing tackle shopping.

Now you know I don't buy much gear, can't afford to...

Most marks I fish they’re not feasible, even if I was so inclined

A carry handle is maybe what I am misding. Currently I use some straps that came with an old rucksack I bought years ago. Two rods and tripod get strappd top and bottom. I then tend to carry the bundle holding kn to the legs of the tripod.

Not so different then

Not do much no. A solution which is okay when I fish the vecellis's as they are pretty light, not so much when I fish the Imax plus, heavier and longer. I suppose I am always taking two of them too.

How long are the holdalls Ian ? I'm surprised VMO don't give the length on their website.

When I use my contis, on clean beachesI have made a two tube “holdall” for them,they sit in their own individual tubes , capped at both ends, the tubes are joined ide by side and have section where I can strap on my tripod.The tubes prevent any damage to the contis as they are fully enclosed.The setup proved its worth last year when I slipped down one of the Holderness Mud cliffs.I tumbled about 40 feet down, arse over head with my box on my back and the rod tubes in my hand. I landed on my face on the beach box still on my back and the rods were at the bottom of the cliff where I had tumbled over them. Everything was lashed in mud but the rods were unmarked and undamaged.
I think if any of the holdalls seen so far had suffered that then the rods inside would have at least some repair needed. The tubes have a shoulder strap and a carry handle as well.
The best part is that for total rod protection, and waterproof with no brand names ,the total cost was about a tenner.









I also have a “Goldsie” holdall which is indestructible, but does not get used much, and also some bendy ties which I just wrap around the rods/ tripod that I use on rock marks.
