Description
The Korum Expedition Roversack 28L is a lay-flat, high-functionality rucksack designed for the mobile, roving, and specialist angler. Evolving the classic Ruckbag concept into a compact 28-litre footprint, this bag opens flat from its widest side so it sits level on damp ground without tipping over. It also introduces a side-access point that lets you slide out internal gear without fully opening the main chamber, allowing you to stack Tackle Blox boxes and Expedition Pouches like books on a shelf for instant bankside selection.
Constructed from a multi-material blend—including 600D Polyester, 300D Snowflake fabric, HD Tarpaulin, High Ridge Webbing, and Neoprene—it resists mud and water ingress. The harness system features widened, heavily padded shoulder straps designed to slip on and off easily over bulky winter jackets, while external features include two dedicated bankstick/net handle holders, a Roving Blox-compatible top pocket, outer D-loops, and heavy-duty carbines for clipping on fish-care gear.

Pro Tip
Stack your Korum Tackle Blox and Expedition Tackle Pouches vertically using the side-access port. This allows you to pull out a specific terminal box or lead pouch from the bottom of the stack without unzipping the main face of the bag, keeping your remaining gear completely covered and protected from rain or mud on wet banks.

-

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the side access point differ from standard rucksacks?

Will this rucksack hold banksticks and landing net handles externally?
Yes, it features two dedicated side holders with retention loops designed specifically to secure banksticks, buzz bars, or landing net handles to the exterior of the pack.
Are the carabiners included with the bag?
Yes, it comes supplied with heavy-duty carabiners pre-attached to the outer D-loops, allowing you to clip unhooking mats, weigh slings, or landing nets directly onto the pack for hands-free transport.
