Quiver with room for Fox specialist Brolly

looking at buying the fox specialist brolly, but now a bit unsure after hearing it's a bit bulky. Will this fit in the fox specialist 3 rod quiver?
 
It will fit, but it's a tight squeeze, and won't leave any room for a landing net pole, let alone a landing net stink bag. And because its such a tight squeeze, it renders the bankstick pocket at the front practically useless.

It's a shame because on their own they are both great products, but given they were launched by Fox as part of the same product range I find the fact they aren't compatible completely baffling. I thought they had a team of consultants and field testers that were supposed to flag up these design issues? I'm surprised they haven't put a redesigned quiver on the market, increasing the diameter by couple of inches would make all the difference.

I swapped my Drennan 2-rod for a Drennan 3-rod quiver a good few years ago. It's fine for my Badger 60" and for my Aqua Fast-n-Light. It's better balanced too.

I thought they were discontinued about 6 or 7 years ago and I was lucky to have found one.

This was the "image" of the 3-rod quiver when I bought mine

Is that a Drennan specialist rod in the bag Paul?
 
Fox specialist brolly fits in the aqua roving quiver a little snug but there's a zip down the main compartment which helps, it fits easily in the 5 rod quiver, I can get a tempest brolly in there.
 
Hi all
Had the same problem last year, so I got a Chub 3 rod quiver from eBay, fox brolly fits no problem, with room to spare!
However i still haven't used it as I prefer a lightweight umbrella, unless it's really bad weather
Regards

A balls up there I’d say. Two products from the same manufacturer in the same Product range yet modular they don’t seem to be.
what’s going on there??? You’d expect them to marry up perfectly.
such a shame. I really like some of the fox stuff. I’ve a couple of their camolite bits and while it holds a carpy tax tag, it’s extremely high quality stuff.
the ruck all is genius.
 
Another vote for the Aqua roving quiver, fox specialist brolly fits in nicely and it’s really well made, it takes rods landing net and bank sticks and has a nice comfortable carrying strap and good zips on the pockets.

Has anybody got a rod quiver that the Fox specialist Brolly will fit? I was over the moon with a Drennan compact quiver I acquired,until I tried to shove the umbrella in.... Not a chance.

Another vote for the Aqua Roving Quiver, has a full length chunky zip and a decent padded carry strap. Specialist brolly fits perfect with room for 2x bank sticks etc.
