Compac luggage for smaller items

When it comes to carp fishing luggage the focus is often on larger items such as rucksacks, holdalls and carryalls, but the smaller bags within those which help to organise and protect your gear are just as important.

The Korda Compac luggage range includes bags or pouches for pretty much any item of tackle that might require it, and is made from a hard wearing, water resistant, military grade fabrics, with waterproof bases where appropriate, and many of the items come in a choice of olive or Dark Kamo.

Some of these smaller bags and Compac extras you won’t even think that you need, until you start using one and are left wondering how you did without it!

Every item in the extensive range features clever design features to make it just right for anglers, and with the highly durable fabric used to make them, plus high quality zips and other fittings, all of these Compac items are built to last.

Korda Compac Scales Pouch

Not only are a good set of dial scales, such as the Korda ones, quite expensive to buy, you are also relying on them to be accurate when you weigh a fish.

So, rather than throwing them loose in the bottom of your rucksack or carryall, where they can get bashed around as well as getting mud and grit in them, it makes far more sense to store them in a Compac Scales Pouch when not in use.

This pouch will not only help to keep them dry thanks to its water repellent properties, but has sufficient padding to reduce the risk of them getting knocked enough to damage them cosmetically or so that they no longer give an accurate reading.

A good quality double zip allows ease of access and the pouch also features a padded carry handle – handy if you need to carry them round to a mate’s swim to weigh a fish, or just for making it easier to get them in and out of a larger bag. Depending on what type of weigh bar you use, there should also be space for that as well.

The Scales Pouch comes in a choice of olive green or Dark Kamo, so you can match it to the rest of your Compac luggage.

Korda Compac Digital Scales Pouch

Digital scales are very popular these days and tend to be smaller and more compact than a more traditional set of dial scales, but due to the fact that they contain electronics it is best to keep them as dry as possible, even though they are of course sealed.

This Compac Digital Scales Pouch has been designed specifically for the Korda Digital Scales and is just the right size that a set will fit neatly inside with rattling around during transit.

As well as being water resistant, which helps to keep the interior of the pouch dry even if stored in a damp bag so your Korda digital scales stay dry, it is also well padded to protect them and ensure that when you do catch that special fish and get the scales out, they are still working as they should be and easily accessed via a high quality zip.

You can match it to the rest of your existing luggage as it is available in Dark Kamo or olive green.

Korda Compac Goo Bag

Whilst some will laugh at the idea of a bag specifically designed for keeping your bottles of Goo in, they have probably never experienced a bottle of it leaking, or even worse bursting, due to it having been thrown loose in amongst other gear inside a larger bag!

Two different size bags are available – with the small being able to hold six bottles of Goo and measuring 17cm x 15cm x 10.5cm; or if you need to carry more than that, then the large version holds twelve bottles and measures 17cm x 20cm x 15cm.

This padded bag, which comes in a choice of Dark Kamo or olive green, has a special removeable insert inside it, which is designed to hold the bottles in place during transit, but should still suffer any sort of leakage, such as via a lid that hasn’t been screwed back on properly, then the lining of the bag is wipe clean, so that is easily rectified.

The water resistant outer fabric is lined with plenty of padding, and the interior is easily accessed by a high quality double zip that runs around three sides of the bag. It will fit inside your rucksack or carryall.

Korda Compac Spool Case

If you’re doing different types of fishing on a variety of venues, then often you will be changing your main line to whatever is most suitable, whether that be mono, braid, or fluorocarbon.

Most people carry spare spools for that purpose and for big pit reels these tend to be quite expensive and definitely not something you want to risk damaging, especially any nicks or scratches on the lip of the spool.

The Compac Spool Case is perfect for storing and transporting your spools in perfect condition, as it has plenty of padding to protect them from any damage, as well as being made from a hard wearing, water resistant material.

Two different sizes are available – narrow or wide – depending on the size of reels/spools that you are using. The narrow version will hold three spools up to a maximum size of 68mm deep and 70mm wide; whilst the wide version is for spools up to 68mm deep and 78mm wide.

A high quality double zip gives easy access, and it is available in either Dark Kamo or olive green.

Korda Compac Lead Pouch

Many anglers carry far more leads than they actually need and usually as a result of keeping them in fairly random places amongst their fishing luggage.

The Compac Lead Pouch is perfect for keeping them all together in one place and ensuring that you only carry the leads you actually need and are suitable for the venue and type of fishing you are doing – some anglers have a number of these pouches so they can just grab whatever one they need for their next session.

It is made from a padded material, that is strong enough to withstand the weight being carried in it – the Compac Lead Pouch can hold up to fifty 3oz leads – and to protect anything that it comes into contact with inside your carryall or rucksack.

A drawstring closure ensures that they can’t all spill out during transit and allows for quick and easy access.

A reinforced webbing strap runs all the way around the bag and forms a handle, which is padded, and allows the pouch to be easily lifted in and out of larger items of luggage.

Korda Compac Pocket

The Compac pouches are great for storing smaller items of tackle and accessories, but if you want to organise the contents so you can more easily find what you’re looking for, the Compac Pockets are perfect.

These waterproof zipped wallets come in three different sizes, making them suitable for everything from packets of hooks and hook link spools, through to charging cables and your fishing licences/membership cards. They’re also great for putting in your pocket with a few spare bits of terminal tackle in themlead pouch, such as when going stalking or floater fishing.

The have a durable zip to provide easy access to the contents, and come in small, medium or large. The uses for them are only really limited by your imagination and what will physically fit in them!
