Preston Competition XS Bait Bag

Description

The Preston Innovations Competition XS Carryall is a heavy-duty, multi-pocket luggage unit built for match and coarse anglers who need maximum storage capacity and clear organisation. The hard-wearing, water-resistant outer fabric and reinforced load-bearing seams let it handle heavy loads of tackle boxes, bait tubs, side trays and net heads session after session. Measuring 53 x 33 x 40cm, it pairs a large central compartment with a specialised outer pocket layout: a dedicated front pocket for side trays, a long zip pocket for landing nets or riddles, and two side accessory pockets. - Dimensions: 53cm (L) x 33cm (W) x 40cm (H) - Outer Material: Hard-wearing, water-resistant synthetic matrix - Main Compartment: Large central storage for bait tubs, EVA bowls, and tackle boxes - Front Pocket: Specially proportioned for off-box side trays - Extended Pocket: Long zipped section for landing nets or bait riddles - Side Pockets: 2 x zipped side storage pockets for bait and terminal accessories - Carrying System: Adjustable padded shoulder strap and dual webbed carry handles - Zips and Fastening: Heavy-duty, smooth-gliding branded zips throughout - Massive Central Capacity: High-volume main compartment accommodates large EVA bait systems, modular feeder cases, and bulky tackle items with room to spare. - Dedicated Side Tray Pocket: Front pocket is specifically dimensioned to hold match side trays, keeping flat metal accessories separate from main luggage contents. - Extended Net and Riddle Storage: Features a long external zip pocket ideal for landing net heads, keepnet heads, or groundbait riddles, isolating damp gear from dry tackle. - Reinforced Stress Points: All load-bearing seams, webbing anchor points, and zipper paths feature double-stitched reinforcements to support heavy metal tackle and bait. - All-Day Carry Comfort: Equipped with a padded, non-slip shoulder strap for long peg walks, alongside twin heavy-duty grab handles for quick vehicle loading. - Full-Kit Match Fishing: Carry your complete match setup—bait tubs, terminal tackle, side trays, and landing nets—in a single, organized bag. - Multi-Discipline Coarse Fishing: Ideal for anglers who target rivers, canals, and commercial lakes and need a spacious, versatile luggage system. - Barrow and Shuttle Loading: Sits square and stable on barrow frames, providing a solid base for stacking additional rod holdalls and net bags. Weight Distribution and Net Hygiene: Place heavy bait containers, groundbait bags, and solid plastic tackle boxes at the very bottom of the main central compartment to establish a low, stable center of gravity. Store clean landing net heads and groundbait riddles in the long outer zip pocket, and ensure they are removed and hung out to dry as soon as you get home to keep the fabric liner clean and odor-free. Will a standard off-box side tray fit in the front pocket? Yes. The front pocket is specifically sized to accommodate standard match side trays, keeping them secure and flat against the front of the carryall. What is the difference between this and the XS Commercial Carryall? This standard Competition XS Carryall is larger overall (40cm high vs 28cm high) and includes additional specialized external pockets—such as the extended net/riddle pocket and side tray pocket—making it better suited for carrying full-session kit and multi-net setups. Is the bottom of the carryall protected against wet ground? Yes. The base is built with a tough, water-resistant lining that prevents ground moisture, mud, and water splashes from seeping up into the main compartment when placed on damp bankside grass.
