This rucksack from Korum has become my rucksack of choice for river fishing. It is comfortable to carry, with the choice of using the zip-away waist strap, it holds everything I need for a river fishing session, and does away with the need for a tackle box.
I hope the pictures speak for themselves, and can only add that the rucksack is excellent quality and the design exactly what I have been looking for. The drop-down front panel with the accessory boxes makes life very easy indeed. The solid plastic base allows the rucksack to stand upright and the fact that the base carries a set of bait boxes in a separate compartment to clothing and food is good thinking.
As you can see in the pictures I don’t always use the insulated bait compartment for carrying bait, not in winter anyhow, but the option is there for when I need it. If I don’t put bait in there it will help to keep refreshments cool and fresh in summer.
The only minor gripe I have is that the bait boxes are not brilliant, the lids being a pain in the proverbial to put back on. But that bottom compartment will hold other bait boxes if you so choose.
Overall, if this rucksack is the right size for you there is a very good chance indeed that it will suit your needs. The quality is really good and the design, at least as far as serving my needs, is spot-on.
The price too, considering the excellent accessory boxes that are part of the package, is exceptionally good value for money.
