Description
The Korum Expedition 3 Rod Sleeve 1.98m offers generous, full-length protection for up to three fully assembled two-piece rods with reels attached. Built for specimen and river anglers who prefer to arrive on the bank ready to fish, this sleeve combines heavy-duty outer fabrics with a fully padded interior to safeguard your gear during transit and storage.
Crafted from a tough multi-material blend—including 600D Polyester, 300D Snowflake fabric, HD tarpaulin, and high-ridge webbing—it repels rain and holds up to harsh bankside abrasion. Internal padded dividers ensure your rod blanks and guide rings stay isolated from one another, preventing rub or damage. A full-length zip allows quick access, while a generous outer pocket easily accommodates brollies, landing net handles, and banksticks.

Pro Tip
When loading three rods fitted with big pit or long-cast feeder reels (such as the Neoteric LC or Latitude FD series), stagger the reel seats slightly inside the sleeve before zipping up. This keeps the reel bodies from clashing directly against each other, producing a slimmer, flatter profile that sits much more comfortably on your shoulder during long walks.
