Total protection rod sleeves

I have the three rod version, a couple of big flaws to note; be aware that when it says, it accommodates 12' two piece rods, its a real tight fit getting my Rod Hutchinson carp rods in and trying to get my spod rod in is a battle and a half.
Not that much of a issue to me but worth metioning though, there is no pocket for a brolly.

Regards padding and build quality, assuming you can get your rods in it, both are of a very high standard.

I assume they've based it on rods being 3.60metres long and not 12'??

Should add my barbel rods Greys and Nash fit reasonably well.
 
I've got the two rod total protection holder and I'm pleased with it. I do agree with colin's comments regarding the fit though. I use Shimano 3000 when I;m using this rod bag and even fitting two of these in is a bit tight. The only other shortfall is the clips which hold the shoulder strap on. They are plastic and I have been waiting for them to break since I got the bag, though to be fair they have not given up yet, even on my holdall bag which is very well weighed down with stuff. I have also just got the small lightweight quiver bag which is great for when you need to go a bit lighter, and under £20 is good value.

I have the 2 rod korum rod sleeve but I have found it such a pain to put my made up rods inside the thing that I have just bought a quiver where I can strap the rods to the outside after breaking them down. I have chosen the gardner roving sling which is for sale in the shop on bfw

I'vee been using a Drennan Super Specialist Two Rod Sleeve for a little over twelve months now and that was at the recommendation of a Pal who has used one for about three years...Can get two made up rods with 4000 sized reels in OK...seperate pocket for banksticks and another for landing net pole BUT if you want to carry a brolly, no room !!...that doesn't bother me as I carry a waterproof cape for sessions but may bother some.
 
Got the Trakker NXG from Hinders, and it arrived today. First impressions are very good, and my 12 ft Torrix complete with tip tectors, and 5000 baitrunners fit snuggly inside. Also excellent designed compartment for the landing net handle which acts as a spine to the whole protection system.
