Pole Holdalls and Hard Cases
Pole holdalls use padded tubes to keep each pole section and top kit apart, with room for landing net handles and made-up rods alongside. Hard cases give more protection again and suit anglers who travel with an expensive pole.
Check the internal length against your longest pole section before you buy.
Match Rod Holdalls and Tip Cases
Match holdalls carry several feeder and float rods made up, usually with a separate tube or compartment for each one. Look at the number of rods it takes and whether the reels can stay fitted.
Tip and top kit cases keep spare quiver tips and top kits safe, inside the main holdall or on their own.
Care and Storage
Wipe grit from pole sections before they go back in the tubes, because sand trapped in a holdall scratches the joints. Let a wet holdall dry with the zips open.
If you are choosing the pole to go in it, our best fishing poles guide covers the options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tube holdall?
It is a holdall with rigid or padded tubes inside, one for each pole section or top kit. The tubes stop sections knocking together and getting crushed.
What length pole holdall do I need?
Measure the longest pole section or top kit you carry, then choose a holdall or case with a longer internal length. The listing gives the length each one is made for.
Can I carry feeder rods in a pole holdall?
Many pole holdalls have compartments for made-up rods as well as tubes for the pole. Check the listing for how many rods it takes alongside the pole.
Is a hard pole case worth it?
A hard case offers the most protection and suits long journeys or a pole worth a lot of money. For regular club matches a padded holdall is lighter and quicker to pack.
How should a pole holdall be cleaned?
Take the pole out, shake out any sand or grit and wipe the tubes with a damp cloth. Leave it open to dry before packing the pole back in.
