Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp and coarse anglers carrying organised tackle boxes. The protective structure and multiple zipped compartments keep boxes and smaller terminal tackle in separate, easy-to-reach homes.
- Barrow users who like a tidy, stable load. The interlocking base and Velcro retaining straps are properly useful when you’re stacking luggage and heading round to the swim.
Maybe skip if
- Roaming anglers carrying only a handful of bits. The structured carryall could be more luggage than you need for quick mobile sessions where a small pouch would do.
- Anglers wanting a complete ready-to-fish storage solution. You’ll need to supply your own tackle box, as one isn’t included.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Nash Subterfuge Hi-Protect Carryall is a cracking choice if you want one solid luggage piece to organise tackle boxes, terminal bits and session essentials. The stiffened build, EVA base and heavy-duty zips give it a reassuringly robust feel, while the stackable base is properly handy when you’re loading a barrow or keeping kit tidy in the bivvy.
It’s not the lightest or most minimalist option, and you’ll need to budget for your own tackle box. But for anglers who like their gear protected, accessible and easy to strap down, this is a spot-on bit of luggage with plenty going for it.

The EVA base, stiffened sides, heavy-duty zips and padded carrying details give it a properly solid build.
Its structured shape, zipped storage and stackable base should work very well for keeping tackle secure and accessible.
It won’t catch fish by itself, but quicker access to organised tackle can help you spend less time rummaging and more time fishing.
Grab handles, a removable shoulder strap and barrow retaining straps make it straightforward to move and position.
The practical construction and storage layout offer good value, though you still need to buy a tackle box separately.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Nash Subterfuge Hi-Protect Carryall
Some carryalls are basically soft bags with a zip and a hopeful attitude. The Nash Subterfuge Hi-Protect Carryall is a different beast. It’s built to hold its shape, protect what’s inside and make the whole business of moving tackle about a hundred times less faffy. That’ll appeal to anyone who likes arriving at the swim with their kit still organised rather than looking like a tackle shop has exploded in the footwell.
You get a choice of Medium and Large, but both versions share the same 58cm width and 30cm depth. The difference is height: the Medium is 24.5cm high, while the Large stretches to 36.5cm. So the decision is less about footprint and more about how much tackle you want to stack vertically. If you carry a fair bit of gear, that extra height could be the difference between one bag and several loose pouches.
The construction is the main story here. An EVA base, lid and stiffened sides give the carryall a firm, protective shape. That’s useful when it’s riding on a barrow, tucked under a bedchair or being pushed into the back of the motor. Your tackle boxes aren’t left relying on a floppy fabric wall to keep them safe, and the base should help the bag sit properly rather than slump over.
The interlocking base design is a smart bit of thinking from Nash. It allows the bags to stack, which is bang on if you’re running a matching luggage setup or simply trying to keep your load stable. There’s nothing worse than a tall pile of luggage sliding about as you hit a rut on the track. A bag that’s designed to lock into the next one can make barrow life a good deal calmer.
That barrow-friendly approach continues with the Velcro retaining straps. These secure the carryall to a barrow front bar, giving you a much better chance of keeping it planted during the walk round. It’s a small feature, but these are the things you appreciate when the swim is a long slog away and you’re already balancing rods, net, mat and half the contents of the shed.
Storage is sensibly laid out. The zipped top compartment gives access to your tackle boxes, while two zipped side pockets offer somewhere for accessories you want close at hand. Inside, two zipped mesh pockets are ideal for smaller items that have a habit of vanishing. Rig tools, spools, markers and odds and ends can all be given their own little spot instead of forming one mystery pile at the bottom.
Carrying it is covered from a few angles. Elasticated grab handles make short moves easy, and the padded shoulder strap can be adjusted or removed depending on how you like to work. It’s neoprene-backed too, so there’s a bit more comfort when the bag is loaded and you’re carrying it away from the barrow. The camo webbing, lining and mesh detailing give it the familiar Subterfuge look without getting in the way of the practical stuff.
There are heavy-duty zips throughout, which is exactly what you want on a bag that’s likely to be packed, unpacked and dragged through plenty of sessions. Just remember that the carryall isn’t a complete tackle-storage package: the tackle box isn’t included. Pick the right size for your existing boxes and how much gear you normally carry, then the Hi-Protect becomes a tidy command centre for the session. Properly useful, especially if your current setup is a bit all over the shop.

Our take
Why this carryall makes sense on the bank
The big selling point here is control. Instead of having tackle boxes, bits of rig gear and spare essentials bouncing around loose, the Hi-Protect Carryall gives you a structured home for the lot. The zipped top compartment is designed for tackle boxes, while the side and internal mesh pockets help keep smaller items from disappearing into the depths.
The interlocking base is a particularly neat touch. It lets compatible bags stack securely, which is dead handy when the barrow is loaded up or you’re trying to make the most of limited storage in a shelter. Add the retaining straps for a barrow front bar and this becomes a practical session hauler rather than just a posh holdall.
Built for organised tackle
A structured carryall that keeps its shape
The Nash Subterfuge Hi-Protect Carryall is made around protection and order. Its EVA base, lid and stiffened sides stop it collapsing in on itself, so tackle boxes and accessories have a more secure home. The top compartment is zipped for tackle boxes, with two zipped side pockets and two internal zipped mesh pockets helping separate the smaller bits.
The interlocking base is one of the most useful features. It lets bags stack neatly, which can make a loaded barrow much more stable. Velcro retaining straps also let you secure the carryall to a barrow front bar, while elasticated grab handles and the padded, adjustable, removable shoulder strap cover shorter carries.
Worth knowing. The tackle box isn’t included. Check the dimensions of your own boxes before buying, especially if you’re choosing the Medium and already carry a packed selection of trays and organisers.
Choose your size
A good fit for tidy, tackle-heavy sessions
The Medium measures 24.5cm high, 58cm wide and 30cm deep. It should suit anglers who want a structured home for a sensible selection of tackle without going all-in on storage. The Large keeps the same width and depth but rises to 36.5cm high, making it the better shout if you carry more boxes or prefer vertical room.
This is especially well suited to barrow users, fixed-position carp anglers and coarse anglers who like having terminal tackle, tools and accessories close together. It’s less compelling for a quick roving session where a compact pouch or small bag would be easier to carry.
Worth knowing. Because both versions are 58cm wide, the size choice doesn’t reduce the footprint. Go Medium for a lower profile, or Large when extra height and capacity matter more than keeping the bag low.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
Yes. The Velcro retaining straps are designed to secure the carryall to a barrow front bar. That’s handy when you’re travelling round to a distant swim or stacking several luggage pieces together.
No. The padded shoulder strap is adjustable and removable. Leave it fitted for longer carries, or take it off when the bag is living on the barrow and you want fewer loose straps.
Choose based on height and how much you carry. The Medium is 24.5cm high, while the Large is 36.5cm high; both are 58cm wide and 30cm deep. Match the internal space to your own tackle boxes before ordering.
