Sphere Double Rod Carrier
Sphere Double Rod Carriers
The Sphere luggage range has gained a reputation for being extremely tough and really well designed, by anglers, for anglers. The Sphere Double Rod Carrier is perfect if you like to to carry your rods made up and ready to go, yet they need to be protected and not damaged in transit.
The padded and rigid design of this case means that rods and reels are held securely and won’t get knocked on the way to my peg. Although the bag is designed to carry two rods, you can actually squeeze a third one in at a push should you need to.
The ‘carbon-effect’ material used on all of the Sphere range looks fantastic, and has proven to be extremely hard wearing. Better still, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and is very water resistant.
All of the webbing straps are really securely stitched to the bag and the zips are nice and chunky, meaning they won’t let you down.
Models available:
160cm long – suitable for two-piece rods up to 10ft in length
190cm long – suitable for two-piece rods up to 12ft in length

Tim Bruce takes a look at the brilliant Xitan Feeder Rod Keeper holdalls in this new short video. Hit the play button below to watch now.
The Xitan rod holdalls are designed to withstand even the toughest demands. Made from a light yet extremely robust and waterproof material, they provide optimal protection of their precious contents.
To provide even further protection, the zip fastener has been positioned on the rear of the holdall to prevent line from being damaged by the zip when opening and closing the holdall. The opening has also been made deliberately wide, making removal of the rods significantly easier.
The Xitan holdalls also have some special features on the outside. On one side, there is a pocket with integrated plastic tubes to store interchangeable tips. On the other side, is an external pocket with attachments for accessories such as banksticks, feeder arms, etc.

New to the Xitan range of outstanding luggage is the Feeder Rod Keeper range consisting of four holdall options to protect and transport ready made up feeder rods.
The option I have is the Keeper 3+ standard length but there’s a three rod option in a slightly longer length plus a two and four rod holdall. As the name suggest it fully protect three made up rods and has been made deliberately wide for easy removal of rods. The main compartment has two zips situated in the centre of the bag and opens with unique grip handles providing quick and easy access to the rods. These zips are situated on the rear of the holdall which eliminates any possibility of damage to the line on the made up rods.
Made from light, yet robust waterproof wipe down material this holdall has loads of additional external features such as two external pockets. The first contains two integrated tubes for storage of additional tips, the other houses items such as banksticks and feeder arms.
There’s an external brolly pocket with elasticised straps to keep everything neat and tidy and it has both a Velcro’s carry handle and a padded adjustable shoulder strap. There’s even protective feet on the reinforced base to prevent any wear and tear to this crucial area and as expected it comes in the stylish black and red trim finish.
No more struggles getting rods in and out of tight rod holdalls and peace of mind that there is no way the mainline on the made up rods will get damaged.
Well thought through and a real problem solver!
