Fisherman's transport and storage

Backpack, carryall or cover: how to transport your gear properly

The choice of luggage depends on your fishing style. The backpack, like the Korum Progress, is suitable for the mobile angler who moves spots throughout the day: the straps free up hands to carry rods. The carryall, a large rectangular bag with handles, swallows up the bulky gear of the carper or the coarse angler settled for the day. The rod covers, rigid or padded, protect the assembled rods during the car journey and on the way to the bank. Padded straps are chosen as soon as the approach walk exceeds a few hundred metres.

By type of storage

The selection is organised by type:

• Small luggage, cases and pouches.
• Storage, boxes and containers.
• Transport, bags, covers and coolers.

Fishing also comes in rods, tackle, baits, equipment, clothing, on the fishing page.

Keep baits fresh: cooler bag and bait boxes

Live baits handle heat badly: strong maggots left in the sun quickly turn into pupae, and worms weaken. The Korum Progress Hardcase Cooler, with a moulded EVA shell and insulating lining, protects baits and meals from temperature fluctuations; it fits in with the other bags in the Progress range. The Fox Bait Tubs, with airtight lids, transport prepared seeds, pellets or boilies without leaking in the bag. A block of ice slipped into the cooler prolongs freshness during summer days.

Compartment boxes and rigs in the bag

Inside the bag, boxes prevent clutter. The Matrix boxes come in single compartment or sixteen compartments, deep or shallow: flat models hold hooks, swivels and weights, while the deeper ones hold small bulky accessories. The rig box Fox Edges keeps carp rigs tight, ready to use, without folds or knots. The Ragot box complements the storage for predator anglers. Rinse the boxes with clean water after a trip at sea or in muddy water, and leave them to dry open to avoid hook rust.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good plans, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow in a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

What bag for coarse fishing?

The coarse angler, settled at his station for the day, carries a lot of small accessories and baits. A carryall with several external pockets, complemented by a cooler for the maggots, transports everything needed without multiple trips.

How to transport fishing rods in a car?

Dismantled into sections or assembled in a rigid cover, rods travel flat in the boot or on the folded seats, never wedged under heavy objects. A padded cover protects the rings and blanks from shocks.

Backpack or carryall for predator fishing?

The predator angler, often mobile, prefers a backpack or a crossbody bag with a few lure boxes. The carryall is reserved for static sessions where a lot of gear is taken.

Is a waterproof bag necessary for fishing?

A rigid and waterproof bottom is sufficient in most cases, as moisture comes in from underneath, on wet grass or mud. For fishing in a boat or in the rain, a bag with a roll-top closure also protects spare clothes.

How to clean a fishing bag?

Empty the bag, shake it to remove dirt and dried bait, then scrub the fabric with a brush and soapy water. Rinse and leave it to air dry, open, to get rid of bait smells.
