Ian Golds Backback

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

they are grand the only draw back is you cant sit on them ,plenty of pockets and room for everything you could need for a long session, i got 3 years out of mine thats a lot of sessions .i now use a seat box with the breakaway backrest and find it top notch for comfort alot more expensive but i think it should last 10-15 years so a good investment if you have the cash :?:

Was looking at one yesterday in Paul Mason's. Looks like quality and will carry a huge amount of tackle. Bought the Ian Golds Super Match Extra of Paul and the had a look at both the rucksack and backpack. Both seem very well made. Search for him on the site and he will sort you out

Have the small backback. Very well made, give the zips a squirt of wd40 after each session and I have never had any problems.
Holds a decent amount of gear, but you can't put extra clothes etc in it like a box.
If you use ice cream tubs or lunch boxes to put leads /scissors in you can organise things pretty well and it can take more than enough tackle for a session.

Its also comfortable on your back when carrying and I would recommend it.

Have the small one too and it's excellent, great storage and can be carried with ease on long walks.

Highly recommend it!
