The Tac 5.11 is made incredibly well
these are worth looking at … comfortable
and balanced… though only problem they don’t stand that well … thinking anglers love the design the right size made for anglers
but poorly constructed All bags 30 L and under that’s all you need for roving nothing
bigger tbh.

I wonder if any minimalists are anglers? By that I mean, how little gear do you need for a days roving session? I am definitely NOT minimalist. I have a Korum Day Sack into which I cram so much stuff (half of which is in the category "just in case")
After reading this post I am going to re-think my requirements and having done that I reckon the little Day Sack will be ample for my needs.
I may take a spare reel.... just in case! 🤣
 
In most cases, all I carry are: a small tackle box with hooks, swivels and other small bits in it. A box (guru box) of hook link, few leads and feeders. Baiting needle, scissors, knife, pliers. Some ground bait or boilies in a bait box (two pint size), a pot of hookbait or a tin of meat. A bottle of water, a sandwich. All these hoes into my roving bag. And a hook mat attached to the bag, rods, landing net bank stick in the quiver or rod bag.

Seriously, tell me, what else do you need for a day of fishing?

Exactly! You don't NEED anything else. As I said earlier, it all depends on your outlook.
My small club holds matches during the year and I am no match fisherman but go along as its a good craic. The gear the match guys bring is unbelievable! Huge barrows full of stuff for a 5 hour match!
I'm definitely going to be more determined during my next roving session and even have a bit of space in it.
(Wonder what I could fill it with?) 🤔

Have you seen those monocular's Joe? They're great for taking fishing with you. Not as powerful as binoculars but still get good views of birds etc. I have one in my rucksack all the time as they're so small.

I've never tried them Paul.

I got a good deal on a 2nd hand pair of Nikon HD's over 10 years ago. I wouldn't ever go fishing without them. They only weigh about 10oz. Highly recommended.
