Ive got the new bag with pretty much every addition and love it thus far
Two large brew tubes
side pocket pouches
large front pocket pouch
couple of the small pouches
The rain cover
The groundsheet
Not sure how to post pics but ill happily send whatsapp if anyone wants to see mine in action
I actually used the groundsheet on the weekend when the floor was wet and have to say I was very pleased with it, nice and small, stores away neatly and its functional
Ultimately a carrier bag would have served the same purpose and so if its not for you dont buy it!!!!!
Does a BMW do anything different to a ford focus? Ultimately the wheels go round
Do I need a watch when the time is on my phone?
Expensive things usually come with a great after service and thats my experience with CA and Jag - My old cotswold luggage is at least 6 years old, I have a mk3 rucksack, various food/camera bags etc I also have a vulpine rucksack which I used before the new one huge tear in it (my fault) they repaired it free of charge, I had zips and a rip on an outer pocket of my rod holdall again repaiored free of charge - Years ago I had an issue with my super compact pod AGAIN jag sorted it free of charge - the reality of all of this is that people love to moan on forums the facts remain its your money, your choice !!!

The rucksack ground sheet is a great one! Only the CA fan club would buy into that one.

Not sure on the base but it has its own designated mat to stand it on. You have to buy it though.

I ended up going to prolite explorer and the lads there were ace as always and I walked away with the new rucksack and a load of accessories, can’t wait to use it and it’s miles more comfortable on the back compared to my vulpine or mk3 roamer rucksack
I’ll report back after a few outings but the modular concept is ace and i can get everything from my mk3 which is much bigger inside it when packed well then add on thwe extras if im session fishing
Ps only two small internal pockets on this as well compared to the old ones which is miles better

Todber manor got the camo one for £185 Rob. Was quite tempted to get one myself but managed to relieve the urge.

Ive got loads of cotswold luggage my dpm must be well over 6 years old now and still going strong, had an issue with a vulpine rucksack that ripped and it was sent away repaired for free and returned promptly, Im sure there is other stuff out there and I hear good things about speero but in essence all manufacturers just copy one another in my opinion very little innovation in my opinion its the same across fishing Beds 2 leg, 3 leg, 4 leg, sleep system, lumber bar, memory foam, bivvys prime example - pram hood then tempest design, barrows are the same etc etc etc
As mentioned Jamie and the team are british made and so the costs are understandbly more in my experience its built to last, do I need more luggage no, will I buy it more than likely
JUST NEED TO FIND A STOCKIST WITH AN OFFER

It’s an expensive bit of kit. It’s well made, has a lifetime warranty and made in UK. That comes at a premium. Some people pay 3k for a baitboat. Some pay £2k for a ticket each year. I personally wouldn’t buy either of those. It’s horses for courses.
For a bit of balance. They sold out their entire stock in one day and they literally can’t make them fast enough. So whilst it seems few on here would buy one. Out in the real world. Many many people are.
There’s price bands in every part of carp angling. I wouldn’t pay £13 for a kilo of boilies, but I wouldn’t pay £3 either. But obviously plenty of people do. At least this is keeping people employed in a UK factory in an industry that’s been largely outsourced to China.

I went for a Korum Progress 35l and only 1.5kg empty.
Not bad for £49 👌
