Product Details and Uses

The Preston Innovations Competition XS 2 Rod Holdall (165cm) is a compact, highly protective ready-rod holdall engineered for carrying two short or multi-piece rigged setups. Built from hard-wearing, water-resistant outer fabric with reinforced high-stress areas, it shields delicate rod tips, line guides, and reels from transit damage.
Measuring 166 x 21 x 16cm, its streamlined profile is tailor-made for 9ft, 10ft, and 11ft two-piece commercial rods broken down with reels attached—allowing you to arrive at your peg fully rigged and ready to fish.

Technical Specifications

Feature Specification
Dimensions 166cm (L) x 21cm (W) x 16cm (H)
Capacity Holds up to 2 fully made-up rods with reels attached
Outer Material Hard-wearing, heavy-duty synthetic matrix
Internal Protection Internal padded central divider & Velcro rod retention straps
Reel Protection Sculpted reel cavity for match and feeder reels
Carrying System Adjustable padded shoulder strap & reinforced grab handles
Zips & Fastenings Heavy-duty, smooth-gliding branded zips

Key Features & Performance

  • 165cm Compact Ready-Rod Profile: Sized specifically for short commercial feeder, bomb, and pellet waggler rods, avoiding the extra bulk and length of standard 195cm holdalls.
  • Internal Divider & Strap System: Features a padded central partition and internal Velcro straps to lock each rod securely, preventing reel-to-reel contact and guide rubbing during transport.
  • Sculpted Reel Cavity: Generously proportioned reel pouch effortlessly houses modern 3000, 4000, and 5000 size feeder reels with handles folded down.
  • Reinforced Stress Zones: Double-stitched load points and reinforced seams ensure long-term durability under regular bankside use.
  • Slim & Streamlined Transport: Compact 21x16cm cross-section keeps the holdall lightweight and easy to carry on your shoulder or pack onto a loaded shuttle frame.

Ideal Applications

  • Commercial Feeder & Float Tactics: Carry two short 9ft, 10ft, or 11ft commercial carp and F1 ready-rods fully assembled for instant setup on arrival.
  • Streamlined Match Fishing: Travel light on venue walks where carrying a massive four-rod holdall is unnecessary.
  • Compact Vehicle Packing: Fits neatly across small-to-medium car boots alongside seatboxes, net bags, and carryalls.

Pro Tip

Staggering Reel Placement: When packing two ready-rods with large 5000-size feeder reels, seat one rod butt completely at the base of the holdall and secure the second rod slightly higher using a neoprene rod strap. Offsetting the reel bodies prevents the spools from pressing directly against each other, creating a slimmer profile that zips smoothly without putting tension on the seam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rod lengths will fit inside the 165cm holdall when made up?
This holdall is ideal for two-piece rods up to 10ft or 11ft in length (which break down to around 155cm–165cm), as well as three-piece 12ft or 13ft rods. For 12ft two-piece rods, the longer 195cm Competition XS holdall is recommended.
Will 5000-size feeder reels fit in the reel section?
Yes. The sculpted reel compartment provides deep clearance to easily house modern 3000 to 5000 size feeder reels with folded handles without putting strain on the zippers.
Is the bottom of the holdall protected against wet ground?
Yes. The base features a heavy-duty reinforced waterproof boot plate that stops dampness seeping up into the fabric and prevents wear from rough gravel or concrete car parks.
