Nash Subterfuge Rucksack 35L

The Nash Subterfuge Rucksack 35L is a highly versatile and compact rucksack designed for the mobile or short-session angler. It offers the same innovative “rucksack and carryall hybrid” functionality as its larger XL counterpart, but in a more streamlined and manageable size. This makes it an ideal choice for quick overnighters, day sessions, or any situation where a balance between comfort, organization, and a lightweight setup is key.

Core Features and Design Philosophy

The key to the Subterfuge Rucksack’s design is its ability to transition from a comfortable rucksack to a practical, lay-flat carryall. This unique “zip open back and lay flat” feature allows you to fully access the contents of the main compartment without having to rummage around from the top. When you’re ready to move, it zips back up and functions like a standard rucksack with comfortable shoulder straps.

The rucksack also includes a clever “tabletop support” system. The shoulder straps can be clipped back to create a flat surface, and an included magnetic tackle tray can be used as a stable work surface for rig tying, or holding your phone, receiver, and hookbait pot.

Key Features

• Rucksack and Carryall Hybrid: This dual-purpose design is what makes the bag so unique and versatile. It offers the comfort of carrying a rucksack with the easy, lay-flat access of a carryall. The stiffened center compartment maintains its shape, making it easy to pack and unpack.
• Lay-Flat Access: The zip-open back panel allows the rucksack to be laid flat. This is especially useful for storing it under a sleep system, where you can easily reach your gear without having to stand it up or empty it out.
• Integrated Workstation: A simple yet brilliant design feature allows the shoulder straps to be clipped back, creating a stable, flat surface. The included magnetic tackle tray fits perfectly on this surface, providing a neat and convenient work area for tying rigs or sorting tackle.
• 35L Capacity: With a total capacity of 35 litres, this rucksack is perfectly sized for an overnighter or a day session. It can comfortably hold all your essential gear without being too bulky or heavy.
• Modular External Pockets: The rucksack features two generously-sized padded external pockets. These are designed for modular storage of other Subterfuge pouches, allowing you to organize your gear and quickly access specific items.
• Elasticated Bankstick Loops: Each of the external pockets includes elastic loops, which are perfect for storing banksticks, alarms, or distance sticks. This keeps them secure and easily accessible on the outside of the bag.
• Internal Zipped Mesh Pocket: The main compartment has an internal zipped mesh pocket, which is ideal for storing smaller items you want to keep separate, such as a headtorch, keys, or phone.
• Multiple EVA Grab Handles: The rucksack is equipped with three EVA grab handles, which make it easy to lift and move the bag, especially when fully loaded.
• Waterproof Wipe-Clean Reinforced Base: The base of the rucksack is reinforced and made from a waterproof, wipe-clean material. This protects the contents from damp ground and makes it easy to clean after a session.
• Included Magnetic Tackle Tray: The rucksack comes with a handy magnetic tackle tray that can be used on the work surface or stored neatly in the top pocket.
