Solar Tackle has earned its reputation for unbeatable quality, performance, and service. Founded in 1987, the company is one of the backbone brands of the carp fishing industry. The company was set up by the former world carp record holder Martin Locke, who started by providing a small range of specialised stainless steel products, which were among some of the first-ever commercially available. Since then, Solar Tackle has grown to offers a huge range of bank essentials, luggage and terminal tackle.
This Solar bag is ideal for the organised angler, featuring plenty of space for all the key items and keeping your tackle stored away in a compact and convenient manner. Solar has constructed the bag as a high-performing, ultra-hard-wearing, PU-backed, waterproof material so that the residue from the bank terrain will not go through the bag and get any of the contents wet. It also means that the material is hard to scuff or tear against the rough ground around the swim. It is topped off with a hard case of EVA moulded base. This will certainly protect the bag against harsher terrains and help maintain its shape and stability.
As the name suggests this is the convertible of bags. The solar bag can be used as a barrow bag, so you can lay your long items flat and allows you to carry them along the handles. These handles are clasped together using a piece of Velcro fabric which additionally adds comfort to your hand when in transportation. The EVA handles also makes it easier for loading the bag into a car, or onto a barrow.
Alternatively, the straps can be rearranged or removed to convert the barrow bag into a rucksack and vice versa. As a rucksack, you can comfortably carry the bag over a should or on your back. This is ideal for heavier items. The shoulder straps are padded so the weight of the contents does not before unbearable, there is also the security of a strap clip, connecting the straps together when wearing it. Either way, the conversion is super quick and easy.
The bag is also unique for its fold-flat internal organisers. These are removable hard back dividers. The main section can be further compartmentalised using the internal organisers and assisting neat storage as well as maintaining the rigid structure of the bag. The outer edge of the bag features multiple double zipped pockets. All five external pockets are a varying size to allow for frequently used items to be accessed quickly without having to open the main compartment up. These pockets have large zips to make easy accessibility.
The top of the bag featured a section with a stiff insert. This allows the bag to double up as a bivvy table. Inside zip top of the bag features two waterproof pockets that are perfect for wet and slimy tiles. The dimensions of the bag are a height of 60cm x width of 54cm x depth of 23cm and weighs in at 3.15kg.
