In a rather crowded carp luggage marketplace, it stands out as offering excellent value for money in my eyes.

There is a protective, waterproof base underneath too, to take the brunt of the wear when it’s on the ground.Firstly, there are some non-removable dividers in the main compartment on the Thinking Anglers version. In my opinion, this is a downside as it makes the main compartment less versatile.

Today the story is different, and the top brands produce some very high-quality luggage options that look the part too, some items wouldn’t look out of place on a field exercise with the SAS, they’re that carpy.

The main compartment is where I keep most of my gear. Measuring 30 x 33 x 26cm, it’s a good size to fit your brew kit, lead pouch, rig boards and all of your other chunkier items. It probably lends itself more to carp anglers who are wearing it whilst pushing the barrow to the swim, rather than long distance roving. For walking around to your swim, it’s perfect, but for longer walks etc, I would opt for something that is built for that purpose. The Supra is a compact size, perfect for day sessions, short overnighters or roving up and down the river bank.
