What Should You Look for in a Rod Holdall?

When buying a suitable rod holdall, several factors need to be considered.
Depending on the area of use or personal preferences, rods can be transported either individually in a Single Rod Sleeve or together with others. Most of the time, rods are stored fully assembled, i.e., with reels attached, in appropriate holdalls.

Single Rod Sleeves for an assembled rod offer the best possible protection, are relatively inexpensive and flexible. Especially if you own several carp rod setups, it’s common to have each rod stored in a single rod sleeve.

If you want to transport all rods along with accessories such as landing nets and banksticks, we recommend 2 Rod or 3 Rod Holdalls. These can be carried like a backpack but require a little more space in your car.

Suitable Carp Rod Holdalls in Various Lengths & for Every Budget

Based on the length and number of rods you wish to carry, an appropriate holdall can be selected. The maximum rod length is always specified for specialized rod holdalls.

Affordable rod holdalls for young or occasional anglers start at just €20. The higher the quality of the rod and reel, the more you should invest in a matching holdall. The difference in quality is especially noticeable in the padding. Any damage to the carp rod during transport must be avoided at all costs.
