Description
The Korum Expedition 3 Rod Super Sling 198cm is a deluxe, multi-functional luggage system designed to offer complete protection for up to three fully rigged 12ft or 13ft two-piece rods. Engineered for demanding specimen and river anglers who travel with complete kit, this holdall combines padded interior rod separation with generous outer storage capacity for landing nets, unhooking mats, bankware, and brollies.
Constructed with high-density padded internal dividers and individual rod sleeves, it ensures reels, guides, and blanks are kept completely isolated to prevent rub or transit damage. Outer side pockets provide dedicated space for long handles and banksticks, while heavy-duty carrying handles and adjustable padded shoulder straps make transporting heavy gear comfortable over long distances.

Pro Tip
When packing three made-up rods with large reels like the Korum Neoteric LC or Latitude FD 6000 models, stagger the reel positions slightly when zipping each section closed. This prevents the reel bodies from sitting directly side-by-side, creating a slimmer overall profile and making the sling much easier and more comfortable to carry across your back.
