Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Coarse and match anglers. The low-level design and separate compartments make it easy to organise tackle without cluttering the peg.
- Anglers who already use Fox tackle boxes. The top compartment is designed around a large Fox tackle box, giving your main box a dedicated home.
Maybe skip if
- Long-session carp anglers. There isn’t the height or overall capacity of a full-sized carp carryall or luggage system.
- Anyone carrying bulky clothing and lots of bait. The compact proportions mean you’ll need to be disciplined with what goes in the main compartment.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Fox Camolite Low Level Carryall is a cracking choice when you want your gear packed neatly, close to the deck and easy to carry between pegs. It’s compact without being daftly small, and the top compartment is shaped with a large Fox tackle box in mind.
It won’t replace a huge session bag or carry every bit of kit for a long carp campaign. For coarse anglers, match anglers and short trips, though, it’s a tidy, practical bit of luggage that cuts down the faff and keeps your peg looking bob on.

Treated 500-denier polyester, padding, an EVA base and stiffened handles give it a solid, purposeful build.
The low shape and separated compartments make it easy to carry and keep organised during a day session.
It won’t catch fish for you, but quicker access to tackle and a tidier peg can help you stay focused when the swim comes alive.
The tackle-box-ready top compartment, side storage and removable padded strap keep the setup straightforward.
It offers useful organisation and sensible materials, although the compact capacity and separate tackle box need factoring in.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Fox Camolite Low Level Carryall
The Fox Camolite Low Level Carryall is aimed squarely at anglers who like their kit tidy, compact and ready to grab. It’s not a giant holdall for every bit of luggage you own. Instead, it keeps the footprint low and gives you a sensible home for the stuff that normally ends up rolling around the peg.
That low-level shape is a proper bonus for coarse and match fishing. You can slide it under a side tray, tuck it beside your seatbox or keep it close to the front of the swim without creating a big luggage mountain. When the rods are off and you’re trying to get bait, rigs and tools sorted quickly, that matters.
The overall size is 54 x 29 x 26 cm. So, it’s compact, but not one of those tiny bags that leaves you wondering where the rest of your kit is supposed to go. The main compartment measures 36 x 27 x 17 cm, giving you a useful chunk of storage for bait tubs, spare clothing, hooklength boxes or the odds and sods you need for a day on the bank.
Up top, there’s a 36 x 27 x 6 cm compartment designed for a large Fox tackle box. That’s the bit match anglers will probably appreciate most. Your main box gets its own dedicated space, rather than disappearing into the bottom of a carryall beneath a fleece, towels and half a packet of expanders.
There are also two external side storage pockets, with zipped mesh storage pockets built into them. That gives you handy places for floats, feeders, scissors, pliers, disgorgers, line, bait needles and other little bits that you want within easy reach. No more rummaging through the main compartment while the fish are on the munch.
The side compartment is listed at 28 x 14 x 8 cm, so it’s useful rather than enormous. Think accessories and smaller items, not a full bait station. Pack it sensibly and you’ll make the most of it. Chuck everything in loose and even the best-organised luggage can turn into a bit of a faff.
Build-wise, Fox has used treated 500-denier polyester for the outer material, with a polyester lining and polyethylene padding. That’s a sensible combination for regular fishing luggage. It should cope with the usual knocks from seatboxes, barrows and wet pegs, while the padding gives the contents a bit of protection when you’re moving between swims.
The EVA base is another dead handy touch. It helps the carryall sit firmly and keeps the bottom away from some of the muck and moisture on the bank. It won’t make the bag magic, so don’t leave it standing in a puddle, but it’s a much nicer setup than a soft fabric base sagging into wet grass.
Carrying it is straightforward, too. You get stiffened EVA grab handles for lifting it in and out of the car or shifting it around the swim, plus a padded removable shoulder strap for longer walks. That flexibility suits commercials, canals and rivers where the best peg isn’t always next to the car park.
The main thing to understand is what this carryall is and isn’t. It’s an organised day-session and match bag, not a cavernous carp luggage system. If you pack with a bit of discipline, it should keep your tackle neat and your peg free from clutter. If you want to carry a mountain of bait, clothing and bulky accessories, you’ll probably need something bigger. For the right job, though, this is a tidy bit of kit that keeps the faff down and the fishing moving.

Our take
The low-level luggage angle
This is all about keeping the bulk down. The carryall sits low, gives you a useful main compartment, and adds separate storage for the bits you’re forever reaching for during a session.
That makes sense on the match scene, where spare rigs, feeders, floats, hooks, bait tools and terminal tackle can quickly turn into a proper jumble. Keep the tackle box up top, smaller accessories in the side pockets, and your main compartment free for bait, clothing or extra kit.
Closer look
A compact carryall with a proper tackle-box home
The CLU298 keeps things deliberately low and organised. Its main compartment handles the general session kit, while the top compartment is shaped for a large Fox tackle box. That’s a far better arrangement than throwing your tackle box into a deep bag and then emptying half the contents onto the ground to find it.
The two external side pockets add quick-access storage for small accessories. Keep your scissors, disgorgers, line, feeders or spare hooklengths in there and you can get to them without stopping the flow of the session. The zipped mesh pockets are especially useful for keeping little bits separated.
Worth knowing. The tackle box shown in the product photography isn’t included. The same goes for the other kit pictured, so allow for the carryall itself when planning your luggage setup.
Who it suits
Made for tidy day sessions and match work
This bag makes most sense for coarse and match anglers who carry a defined amount of kit. It’ll sit neatly beside a seatbox, under a side tray or alongside your chair, and the shoulder strap comes into its own when you’re moving pegs or walking a canal towpath.
It also suits anglers who like a modular setup. Put the tackle box up top, bait and spare layers in the main section, then keep the side pockets for the gear you reach for constantly. That layout can save a surprising amount of time when you’re changing rigs or reacting to a bite-time switch.
It’s less convincing as a long-session carp bag. There’s no point trying to squeeze in bulky clothing, loads of bait and every possible spare when the whole appeal is its compact shape. Use it for the essentials and it’s spot on; ask it to carry a full campaign’s luggage and you’ll be gutted.
FAQs in full
The bits anglers usually want to know
The treated polyester outer and EVA base make it well suited to ordinary bank conditions, including damp grass and the odd muddy peg. The base gives useful separation from the ground, but this isn’t a sealed dry bag. In proper rain, keep vulnerable items protected inside.
Use it for the less frequently accessed kit: bait, spare clothing, towels, rig wallets or a small amount of food. Keep the tackle box in the top section and your tiny accessories in the side pockets. That way, the bag stays practical rather than becoming a black hole.
Yes. The padded shoulder strap is removable, while the stiffened EVA grab handles give you a quicker carry option around the peg or car.

Is the Fox Camolite Low Level Carryall waterproof?
It uses treated 500-denier polyester and has an EVA base, so it’s built for normal bank use and helps keep your kit protected from damp ground. It shouldn’t be treated as fully waterproof luggage, so keep sensitive kit in suitable pouches in heavy rain.
03What’s the best way to pack it for a match?
What’s the best way to pack it for a match?
Use the top compartment for the large Fox tackle box, the side storage for small accessories and frequently used items, then keep the main compartment for bait tubs, spare rigs, clothing or tools. Don’t overstuff it, or you’ll lose the benefit of the tidy layout.
