By way of a change Ill try and do some reviews from time to time.
I got the ruckie recently after hearing favourable Mutterings in the angling fraternity, I have owned many ruckies and find they get wet and the zips go, and othen when hit with swell or waves with my newly aqquired style of lure fishing.
As I also have a small boat I was constantly finding it getting soaked on deck.
So far I am very impressed not really used it in earnest yet, but been out in the pouring rain and contents were totally dry. It is pretty damn watertight, with great strapping, inc chest and belly straps to keep it secure. for the record I hae the 20 ltr premium version.
It may be a bit of a pain long term as you physically have to unroll it to get in for lure changes but I think a small price to pay.
Acid test, would I buy another? I think this is the best Rucky out there for fishing and for keeping contents dry so yes I would. As a total bonus I got mine 2nd hand, but new with tags form ebay for…………… £12.99 delivered.
