as per the title, needs to carry

2 x rods made up
umbrella
landing net handle
and bank sticks

I currently have a esp quiver but its about had it
 
Depends on what you want ie full cover or light weight /easy access, the Korum 2 rod does it for me plenty of room for everything, including a brolly if you must :)
 
I've had these and depends whether I'm carrying a shelter or brolly or not.

For a small shelter (eg Wychwood Solace 50) the Wychwood Epic 2/5 dual quiver is good although I don't particularly like the toggle/rod attachments. Convert from a 2 to 5 rod by a zip. Has zip on attachment for bank sticks. I'd love it more if they put more conventional rod retaining straps.

Korum 2 rod quiver is good for travelling compact and light.

If it's quality and for carrying a brolly (shelter is a bit tight in it) but something like a Fox Specialist Brolly is OK and will last (mines around 10 years old) then the Cotswold Aquarius Stalker Quiver works fine for me. Compact, comfy and robust.

Shelters will often fit various quivers in a 'placid' environment, but when the wind is howling, it's raining, maybe at night your neatly rolled up shelter/brolly when you got there can become a nightmare to pack.

Cheers

Aqua RS quiver system had mine 4 seasons and haven't seen anything better. Imo

This looked a very good price. Anyone got one?

I've had one for a couple of years, stitching a bit suspect in places and has required repair. Also no carry handle, just a shoulder strap. Big enough for three set up rods (one with reel unprotected), landing net handle, brolly and rod rests. Light enough.
 
Have been using the trakker quiver for a couple of seasons and am happy with it.
It has a couple of bank stick pockets that are zipped and a landing net handle
Pocket, brolly or small shelter fits nicely and I find that it balances out nicely when you are carrying it
 
The Drennan Super Specialist Quivers are very good. The Medium is a 2 rod and the Large is a 3 rod.

I have both. I carry only 2 rods but would opt for the 3 rod one.

The Medium being 2 rod fits your requirement BUT the lower pocket for the rod butts is single pocket so a bit of stitching to separate it is necessary, whereas the 3 rod one has individual pouches. The side pockets on the Medium are tighter too.

The Large is longer and it is bigger, so will carry both 50" and 60" umbrellas with ease. Also the 2 longer side pockets carry landing net and several bank sticks plus storm poles.

An easy but worthwhile modification (for both) is to cut off the useless velro rod bands and stitch on some strong black boot laces.
 
Had a few of the above listed and ended up with the Trakker 2 rod holdall, two made up rods, outside pocket and strap for brolly and pockets for banksticks and landing net pole, after all the wasted money on the others this has been the best £50 spent;)
 
Holdall / quiver

Hi Guys,
I've had a Wychwood quiver for 25 years. I would describe it as 'indestructable', afterall I haven't cleaned it since the day I bought it:rolleyes:
Regards,
G.T.

Useless Velcro? Mines been going strong for at least 10 years and I've never had a problem with the supplied Velcro straps. Cracking quiver mind. Thought about getting a new one in case they're ever discontinued.
