Carry on bag

[Gerhard Delport]

Has anyone considered the Shimano Tropical bags?
Would be good for both carry on and deck bag i guess.

Chris,

I will look into these bags for future trips. They look like they will do the work nicely for both carry on and deck bag

I tried the North Face Base Camp Duffel Bag.  The local shop only had a M size which is 72l and although I got away with it on a recent trip it is actually too big for hand luggage and too big for a boat gear bag, as you tend to pack in the kitchen sink.

They claim it is waterproof never got it wet so unable to confirm allow waterproof it is.

I like the options hPa offer for possible carry on/deck bag

I think the HPA Extreme with roll up closing and not a zip is the way to go.

Bit of a thread revival but I use a Studio Ocean Mark reel bag - it can take all my reels, a 15" laptop, Go Pro and associated kit, phone/wallet/passport/Kindle/Ipod, etc. A nice bit of kit that I use as my carry on bag along with an HPA roll. Spools, multipliers with non removable spools, jigs, accessories, etc., go in the Loomis roller bag in check in along with the tube with my rods and clothing in.

I use the same SOM reel bag. Like it a lot. But because it's large (which is good) I took too much and hence it got really heavy!

I ended up getting a 25ltr HPA duffle.
