Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers carrying plenty of terminal tackle and session bits. The split main compartment and multiple smaller pockets help keep rigs, clothing, accessories and odds and ends from becoming one big tackle soup.
- Mobile anglers who want their hands free. The rucksack format, bankstick holders and adjustable loops let you carry more without juggling a separate bag, net and banksticks down the path.
Maybe skip if
- Short-session anglers carrying only a small tackle box. At 65 litres, it may be more bag than you need for a quick evening on the margins.
- Anglers wanting a fully modular tackle system. This is a traditional multi-compartment rucksack, not a specialist system built around removable tackle trays or dedicated bait insulation.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The NGT QuickFish Rucksack is a cracking bit of fishing luggage for anglers who want one organised carry-all rather than a pile of loose pouches and carrier bags. Its split main compartment, useful lid storage and bankstick holders make plenty of sense on the bank.
It’s not the smallest day bag around, but that’s the point. If you carry tackle, bait bits, clothing and a few extras, the 65-litre layout gives you room to get properly sorted without making every move a full-on faff.

The vinyl base, divided storage and external carry points give it a properly practical build for regular fishing use.
Its main job is carrying and organising tackle, and the six-compartment layout is well suited to that.
It won’t catch fish by itself, but quicker access to organised rigs and tools can keep you ready when a bite-time opportunity appears.
The rucksack format, split main section, lid storage and bankstick holders keep the load straightforward to carry and access.
For anglers wanting high capacity and plenty of storage in one traditional rucksack, the feature set looks strong for its price bracket.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the NGT QuickFish Rucksack
Some fishing bags are basically a big sack with a zip and a prayer. You chuck everything in, spend ten minutes rummaging for your rig box, then find the bait needle hiding under your spare fleece. The NGT QuickFish Rucksack takes a more sensible route. It gives you 65 litres of proper, divided storage in a rucksack format that’s built for getting kit from the car park to the swim.
That capacity makes it a useful middle ground. It’s bigger than a little daypack, but not so massive that it becomes a full expedition. There’s room for terminal tackle, leads, tools, alarms, spare bits, clothing and a few session essentials. For carp fishing, that means you can keep the fiddly rig gear separate from the stuff you’re likely to grab between bites.
The main compartment is where the bulk of the storage lives, with 39.5 litres available and a zip dividing it into two sections. That split is properly handy. One side can take clothing or a towel, while the other handles tackle pouches, bait accessories or a small stove. You’re not forced to pile everything into one dark cavern and hope for the best.
Above that sits a 13-litre top compartment. It’s a decent spot for gear you want close to hand, such as a marker float, receiver, headtorch, snacks or a rain layer. There’s also a Velcro pocket in the top lid, along with three elasticated straps. That gives you somewhere for slim bits and quick-access extras rather than burying them in the main body.
The sides are useful too. Each side compartment holds 4 litres, which is plenty for smaller tackle, spare spools, PVA bits or the bits and bobs that tend to rattle around loose. Three bankstick holders on each side are a proper bonus. You can keep banksticks secured to the outside instead of wedging them awkwardly under a barrow strap.
At the front, the bag gives you two more storage options: a small 1.5-litre compartment and a larger 3-litre compartment. The larger one includes an internal mesh pocket, which is spot on for tiny items. Needles, swivels, scissors, keys and your line clippers all have a fighting chance of staying together in there.
The vinyl base is one of those features you appreciate most when the swim is damp, muddy or generally a bit grim. It adds durability underneath and helps resist water coming up from wet ground. It won’t turn the whole rucksack into a dry bag, obviously, but it’s a sensible touch for real bank life.
Carrying the bag as a rucksack leaves both hands free, which makes a difference when you’re walking in with rods, a net and a shelter. The adjustable loops are designed for carrying a landing net or brolly, so you can make the load work around the swim rather than dragging every item separately.
The main thing to understand is that this is a storage and organisation bag, not a magic replacement for every bit of luggage you own. It won’t chill bait or turn loose tackle into a neat modular system by itself. But for anglers who like a single, organised loadout and move swims often, the layout is bob on. Pack it sensibly and it should make the journey to bite-time a good deal less faffy.

Our take
The angle
This is a practical, storage-first rucksack for mobile fishing. The clever bit isn’t some flashy gadget; it’s the way the compartments let you separate the stuff you need regularly from the gear that can stay tucked away.
The vinyl base is especially handy on damp grass, muddy paths and the odd questionable peg. Add the bankstick holders and loops for a landing net or brolly, and it starts to look like a solid option for short sessions, roaming days and tidy-minded anglers.
What you’re buying
A roomy rucksack with a sensible layout
The NGT QuickFish Rucksack offers 65 litres across six compartments. The 39.5-litre main section is divided by a zip, while the 13-litre top compartment, two 4-litre side compartments and two front pockets give you plenty of ways to separate your load.
The front compartment’s internal mesh pocket is ideal for small terminal tackle. On top, the Velcro pocket and three elasticated straps give you quick access to slim or lightweight items. The vinyl base helps the bag cope with muddy, damp pegs rather than immediately soaking up every bit of moisture.
Three bankstick holders on each side are a strong practical feature. The adjustable loops for a landing net or brolly add even more flexibility, especially when you’re walking a fair way to a swim.
Worth knowing. The vinyl base improves durability and water resistance underneath, but the rucksack shouldn’t be treated as fully waterproof. Keep electronics, clothing and delicate tackle in suitable inner protection during proper wet weather.
Best on the bank
For anglers who like their kit in one place
This bag makes most sense for carp and coarse anglers carrying a mixed load. Rigs, leads, tools, spare clothing and session accessories can all have their own zone, while the outside holders take banksticks and a net or brolly.
It’s also a good shout for mobile fishing. The rucksack design leaves your hands free for rods and other awkward kit, and the compartments make it easier to grab the thing you need without emptying the whole bag onto the grass.
If you only carry a tiny box for a quick evening, the 65-litre capacity may feel like overkill. Likewise, anglers who want removable trays, bait insulation or a highly modular system may prefer a more specialist setup.
Worth knowing. Pack by frequency of use: quick-access bits in the front and top pockets, heavier tackle low in the main compartment, and clothing or soft items in the other half. That keeps the load balanced and saves a rummage when the rods are off.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
It suits both, provided you’re sensible with your loadout. The 65-litre capacity gives you plenty of room for a full day’s tackle and clothing, while the divided main compartment can take extra session bits. It isn’t a replacement for a full holdall and cooking setup, though.
The side holders are designed for banksticks, with three on each side. The adjustable loops can carry a landing net or brolly, helping keep long awkward items attached to the bag rather than loose under your arm.
The vinyl base is useful on wet grass and muddy ground, and it adds a bit of water resistance underneath. For heavy rain, protect anything moisture-sensitive inside separate pouches or bags. A bit of common sense goes a long way, mate.
On paper

- Six bankstick holders in total, plus loops for a net or brolly.
- Vinyl base helps protect the bag from damp, mud and rough ground.

Worth knowing

- It’s storage-focused rather than a dedicated bait-cooling or modular tackle system.
