What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about wheels, naming an “In line skate” wheel type despite describing a backpack, and lists waterproof protection while specifically detailing a reinforced waterproof base. Confirm the exact model and protection intended before relying on either detail.

Frequently asked questions

Are tackle boxes included?

The product features claim three medium tackle boxes measuring 28 x 18 x 4.5 cm. Check the selected listing to confirm they are part of the package.

Does the backpack have waterproof protection?

The details call its water resistance “Waterproof”, while the feature text specifically describes a reinforced waterproof base and a stowaway rain cover. The supplied information does not clearly establish whole-bag protection.

Can it carry a second rod?

The listing describes side straps with buckles for attaching items and says there is a possibility to carry a second rod. It does not specify rod dimensions or how it is secured.
