Description
The Korum Expedition Ruckbag Standard 40L offers a streamlined, high-functionality carry solution for specimen anglers who want the full benefits of Korum’s signature lay-flat Ruckbag design in a compact, highly mobile footprint. Engineered to carry your fishing chair and tackle together as a single balanced system, it features an upgraded, detachable clip-hook design that locks directly onto your chair frame, supported by underside webbing loops that eliminate sway on the walk.
Built using a heavy-duty multi-material blend—including 600D Polyester, 300D Snowflake fabric, HD Tarpaulin, High Ridge Webbing, and Neoprene—it withstands rough bankside terrain and wet weather. The lay-flat design creates a stable, level working platform on sloping riverbanks, providing quick, shallow access to all your internal gear. Additional updates include wider shoulder straps with extended adjustability for wearing over thick winter coats, a stabilizing chest strap, and generous side pockets sized specifically for the Tackle Blox range.

Pro Tip
When attaching a lightweight chair or accessory chair, clip the top hooks to the main backframe, then loop the underside webbing straps snugly around the folded leg structure. Tightening these straps pulls the mass of the chair flat against the Ruckbag’s center of gravity, preventing it from pulling backward on your shoulders and keeping your hands completely free during long walks to remote swims.
Ideal Applications & Use Cases

Integrated Chair & Tackle Carrying: Eliminates the need to carry a chair by hand, neatly combining your chair, unhooking mat, landing net, and 40 litres of tackle into one balanced backpack.
-
Sloping Riverbanks & Uneven Ground: The lay-flat box profile stays completely stationary on steep banks without rolling down into the water when unzipped.
-
Mobile & Day-Session Angling: Offers ample internal volume for terminal tackle, bait pouches, and extra layers without the extra bulk of the 50L Deluxe model.
