Just received mine this morning. Excellent piece of kit as expected from ESP. Fits well into my style,of fishing in the winter short 5-6 hour session with minimal bait and tackle.
Wow that rucksack is a carp anglers wet dream I'm buying sold when I saw the handles ,bank stks, top tackle bag awesome bag buying one straight as away oh Christmas🎄🎁🎄 is coming..just in TIME too thanks Esp awesome geniuas bag love the darker camo .. I could see when you were showing it to us your smile could tell you are happy with this product design we r too 👏
Used for 2 years now .pros very well made it will last for years and comfortable when carrying. Cons the addition of a carry handle on the top box/bag would of been great and a solid style lid on the main top so it can be used as a small table also would of made it next level
Can the Korda tackle box fit in the rucksack? I'm also thinking of using the top pouch for delkim standard plus models with snag ears and a quick release adapter from a fox black label qr bankstick, do you think they will fit.
Been waiting for this since I got the QuickDraw mat….. perfect for stalking sessions or piking on the move 🙌. I will say though that I feel the mat could & should have been better…..the string pull sides are pretty pants in all honesty and I personally would rather have sacrificed the sides and had a standard thicker flat mat with Velcro cover that rolled up an attached the same.
I'm sure a lot of thinking has gone into this rucksack and is well made but £90 just seems way too pricey (in my opinion) for the "short session angler". It's still just a rucksack. Don't want to be too negative as I'm not normally
This looks great Dave - Is that double zips I can see on the pockets? (Yay) I will have to buy mail order as there are no carp shops in Toronto so I wanted to check on a couple of things - I have the current rucksack and the central pocket is a little too big for me - this one looks like it's a little shorter / smaller with some of that space being used in the tackle wallet on the top. Is that right?
sadly one feature that's missing for making this rucksack everything youll ever need. wish the were a way to secure the duralite chair to the rucksack just like the korum transition rucksack has, that feature alone is what will make me use the korum rucksack for as long as possible honestly.
Loosely based on the Drennan Specialist roving rucksack. Same shape and configuration of pockets and same way the unhooking mat attaches. The addition of the removable tackle bag and the military style loops for transporting banks ticks is great. However, it is missing the benefit of the cool bait storage section on the top. One of the side pockets could have been repurposed for this.
Hi Joe, we find it is quite rare for carp anglers to take bait inside their rucksack as opposed to a bucket or similar. The Specialist Rucksack sees people using smaller amounts of fresh bait so it suited the other species better.
@@ESPCarpgear wow. Thanks a lot for replying. I failed to mention that it looks brilliant. I guess I would recommend the addition of the loops on the specialist version. As well as the detachable tackle bag. If these were on the specialist bag it would be onf of the best bags on the market. One other recommendation as I might have your attention this one last time 😉 For the specialist bag. It would be brilliant if a chair could be attached. This is only present on two bags on the market. And imo makes a huge difference to the mobile angler. Walking miles with a chair under the arm is challenging. Even for a fit person. So, anything to make fishing easier is a good idea 💡
I was wondering when this was gonna be shown, I totally love it!!! I need new Piking Luggage, the ESP camo range is what I will go with, AWESOME!!!

Looks amazing together and fits total to my fishing
Top bit of kit esp 👍
Glad you like it!
Hi .can you tell me the dimensions of the top zip bag ?
Used for 2 years now .pros very well made it will last for years and comfortable when carrying. Cons the addition of a carry handle on the top box/bag would of been great and a solid style lid on the main top so it can be used as a small table also would of made it next level
I like that. Nice one esp. 👌🙏
Is it possible to attach the large quickdraw unhooking mat to the standard 40 liter camo Rucksack?
Can the Korda tackle box fit in the rucksack? I'm also thinking of using the top pouch for delkim standard plus models with snag ears and a quick release adapter from a fox black label qr bankstick, do you think they will fit.
Esp great kit..were did you get your flektarn sleeping bag??

Thanks for the comment. We have sold lots of the mats and virtually no issues with the pullstrings - they are pretty damn strong!
@@ESPCarpgear have they got the cheap metal drain holes that go rusty in no time like the Drennan one?
I love my esp bits bag.
Good to hear!

@CastAirLead fair point
Hi is it waterproof and will it be available in olive green wish it had a carrying handle at the back like most rucksacks as well
Is the backpack stable or does it collapse in on itself?

Shame ESP/Drennan didn’t take the best bits from both their rucksacks and try to incorporate into one.
Which aspects do you mean Tony?

Looks good. A lot of practical thinking gone into this.
What are we talking here, £65 - £70 ?
Pretty sure they posted £89 on instagram
@@leviox3 - Uuhhm :/ I based my guess on the price of their last rucksck.
£89 would be a tad on the steep side.
@@rockhopper9361 - Cheers, will do.
Oh no my head telling me to buy buy buy lol when they out 🙂
Hoply be availible in Germany too soon. In every Shop that sales ESP both items are out of stock.
The item will be heading to shops in early December including Europe
@ ESP When is this available I want one?
Heading to shops early December :)
Hi, when is the release date?
In shops early December :)
The rucksack looks great but I've seen the review video on the unhooking mat and it's rubbish tbh
@CastAirLead yes that maybe but from the review I watched yesterday it's no where near big enough for a 20lb plus carp
Im still trying to get my hands on a low pro
Second hand is the only way for now although a newer version is planned for next year,
@@ESPCarpgear I've looked everywhere
Il no doubt get 1, IMO the clips for the unhooking mat would be better on the bottom so the mat hangs under the rucksack rather than on the back
We did look at that but the matt keeps swinging and hitting the back of your legs.
Bring a flat mat out for it and ill buy one tomorrow
Veey similar to the thinking angler one
