Product Details and Uses

The Preston Innovations Competition XS 2 Rod Holdall (195cm) offers a slim, protective ready-rod solution tailored for carrying two longer rigged setups. Manufactured from hard-wearing, water-resistant outer fabric with reinforced high-stress areas, it guards delicate tips, blank sections, and line guides against impacts during transit.
Measuring 196 x 21 x 16cm, its extended length accommodates two-piece 12ft feeder rods and longer multi-piece setups broken down with reels attached, allowing you to arrive at your peg fully rigged and ready to fish.

Technical Specifications

Feature Specification
Dimensions 196cm (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 distance feeder reels
Carrying System Adjustable padded shoulder strap & reinforced grab handles
Zips & Fastenings Heavy-duty, smooth-gliding branded zips

Key Features & Performance

  • 195cm Extended Ready-Rod Profile: Generous length easily accommodates standard two-piece 12ft rods (and 3-piece 13ft/14ft setups), keeping rigs attached for instant setup.
  • 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.
  • Sculpted Reel Cavity: Generously proportioned reel pouch effortlessly houses large 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

  • Distance Feeder & River Tactics: Safely carry two 12ft or 13ft ready-rods fully assembled for distance method, feeder, or float fishing.
  • Streamlined Match Fishing: Travel light on venue walks where a massive four-rod holdall is unnecessary.
  • Compact Vehicle Packing: Fits neatly alongside seatboxes, net bags, and carryalls in small-to-medium car boots.

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

Will a standard 12ft two-piece feeder rod fit inside this holdall?
Yes. Standard two-piece 12ft rods break down to approximately 186cm, fitting comfortably inside the 196cm overall interior length with rigs attached.
Can large 5000-size feeder reels fit in the reel pouch?
Yes. The reel compartment provides ample depth to house modern 4000 and 5000 size feeder reels with folded handles without crushing line clips or bail arms.
Is the base reinforced against wet ground?
Yes. The base features a heavy-duty, water-resistant wear plate that stops ground moisture from seeping up into the fabric and protects against sharp gravel and concrete.
