Detailed Specifications

Where to Use

• Short Day & Evening Sessions: The ideal size for after-work stints or 3 to 4-hour sessions where you only need a moderate selection of tackle, bait, and a snack.

• Mobile Stalking Trips: Perfect for sliding into your barrow, strapping to a roving cart, or carrying across your shoulder while hunting fish in marginal swims.

• River Roving Basecamp: Great for keeping your spare tackle, bait, and lunch neatly organized on the bank while you explore stretches of the Lune or Ribble with a roving bag.

• Bait & Pop-Up Protection: Use the insulated compartment to store your high-value hookbaits, preventing them from softening or sweating out in direct sunlight.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: Because the main compartment features a removable insulated liner, take the liner out completely if you need extra internal depth for rigid tackle boxes or bulkier accessory bags on full-day trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the insulated liner be removed completely?

Yes. The internal thermal insert is fully removable via secure fasteners, allowing you to take it out to clean easily or to free up extra space inside the main compartment.

Is the carryall waterproof?

The rugged 600D outer fabric is highly water-resistant and treated to shrug off heavy rain and morning dew, while the reinforced waterproof base prevents moisture from creeping up from wet ground. For prolonged downpours, keeping it under a brolly or shelter is advised.

Will standard accessory bags fit inside this compact version?

Yes. It is designed to accommodate smaller Wychwood Specialist Accessory Bags (such as the Small or Medium sizes), allowing you to keep your terminal tackle neatly modularized.

How comfortable is it to carry over long distances?

Extremely comfortable. It features an ergonomic, padded shoulder strap designed to distribute weight evenly, making it easy to carry across long walks to remote swims.
