Spending so much time on the banks, we are fortunate enough to notice certain trends and what surprised us is the amount of people not using rucksacks. Okay, so barrows have exploded on the scene but have we all forgotten just how useful a rucksack can be? Forget pushing a ton of gear around and think about reducing what you take to spend less time sorting through terminal tackle and more time putting carp on the bank. If Carlsberg did luggage, the chances are it would be labelled Aqua and with two awesome rucksacks in the exciting new Black Series range, we thought we would take a closer look. Built from the ever-trusty Endura fabric, with reinforced base and straps, both items are built with longevity in mind.

I wrote about this rucksack a month or two after first receiving it and I talked about my never-ending search for the perfect bag. I’d tried loads of carryalls and rucksacks and none had really stayed in my possession, with the exception of an original Trakker Armo many moons ago. I still own that, but it’s collecting dust in my loft because it became too big once I stopped taking so much stuff fishing with me!Now, having used this one for well over a year (albeit not exactly my busiest year in fishing terms) I absolutely love it. The compact nature removes the temptation for me to take more than I need, yet what I do take fits comfortably inside the two separate compartments and outer pockets.

Compact rucksack with a multitude of uses, such as stalking, carrying spare clothing or as a short-session bag. As the name suggests, the ‘urban’ design makes it perfect for general use away from fishing too. For more information go to: www. aquaproducts.
