Great for
- Carp and coarse anglers using a barrow. The compact shape is designed to sit neatly on a barrow while keeping everyday gear together.
- Anglers needing one bag for fishing and general outdoor kit. It can also carry spare clothes or camera equipment, so it earns its keep away from the bank too.
Maybe skip if

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Thinking Anglers Camfleck Compact Fishing Carryall
Some carryalls are massive great boxes that swallow half your kit list. Handy, yes, but they can also turn a quick overnighter into a full-on logistics exercise. The Thinking Anglers Camfleck Compact Fishing Carryall takes a different route. It’s a smaller, neater bag for the stuff you want close at hand without filling every inch of the barrow.
The dimensions are 33cm high by 23cm wide by 27cm deep. That makes it a compact bit of luggage rather than a huge tackle hauler. You can get it onto the barrow alongside your bucket, unhooking gear and brew kit, leaving room for the bigger essentials. For a tidy approach to packing, that’s spot on.
It’s made from 600D fabric, which is the sort of material you’d expect on a proper bit of fishing luggage rather than a flimsy day bag. The hard base is another welcome touch. It helps the carryall sit squarely on the barrow and stops the bottom sagging when you’ve got a decent load inside.
Storage is split across two side pockets, a top pocket and a front pocket. That’s useful when you’re trying to keep the faff under control. Put smaller items in the outer pockets, keep clothing or larger gear in the main compartment, and you’re less likely to be rummaging around while the rods are off.
The layout also makes sense for session fishing. A side pocket can take little bits you want quickly, while the top or front pocket gives you somewhere for odds and ends that would otherwise disappear into the depths. It’s not a complete rig station, mind. There are no boxes or extra organisers included, so you’ll need to pack it your way.
The large detachable strap adds another string to its bow. Leave it off when the bag is living on the barrow, then clip it on when you’re walking from the car, shifting kit between swims or nipping away from the rods. That sort of simple flexibility is dead handy on a busy day.
The unique Camfleck camouflage pattern gives it a proper Thinking Anglers identity. It’s not trying to look bland or overly military. It has a distinctive bank-side style, and it’ll sit nicely with other Camfleck luggage if you like keeping your kit looking the part.
Where this carryall gets interesting is away from tackle. Thinking Anglers also positions it as a spare clothes bag or camera bag. That makes sense: the compact footprint is useful for keeping a change of layers dry and together, while the pockets can separate batteries, memory cards or other small camera bits.
You just need to be realistic about capacity. This isn’t the bag for loading every rig box, spod mix accessory and spare reel you own. It’s better thought of as a compact support bag. Keep it focused, use the pockets sensibly, and it should make a session feel more organised rather than adding another bulky lump to the loadout.
Overall, the Camfleck Compact Fishing Carryall looks like a versatile, tidy option for anglers who value portability. It’s built around the barrow, but it isn’t trapped there. For everyday fishing gear, spare clothing or camera kit, it’s a smart little bag with enough structure to stay useful without becoming a pain to carry.

Our take
Small carryall, plenty of uses
The real appeal is flexibility. Use it as a compact tackle bag on the barrow, a spare clothes bag for a damp weekend, or a camera bag when you’re out snapping a proper stunner. The Camfleck finish gives it a distinctive Thinking Anglers look, while the layout keeps the faff down.
What you’re buying
A compact bag with a proper base
This is a compact carryall made from 600D fabric, with a hard base to help it sit securely on a barrow. Its 33 × 23 × 27cm footprint keeps things manageable, while the Camfleck pattern gives it a distinctive bank-side look.
The storage is straightforward: two side pockets, a top pocket and a front pocket. That gives you useful separation for smaller fishing bits, clothing accessories or camera odds and ends, although the bag doesn’t include tackle boxes or internal organisers.
The large detachable strap means it can stay barrow-based during the session, then become easier to carry when you’re moving between swims or heading back to the car.
Worth knowing. The hard base is a plus for stability, but the compact shape means this is a support bag rather than a full long-session tackle warehouse.
Pick your loadout
Best for tidy, focused packing
It suits carp and coarse anglers who want a smaller bag for the essentials. Use it for terminal tackle, small accessories, spare layers or anything you want separate from the main luggage. It should sit neatly on a barrow without hogging the space.
It’s also a handy choice if your fishing luggage pulls double duty. As a spare clothes bag, it can keep a change of gear together. As a camera bag, the pockets give you somewhere for smaller accessories while the main section carries the core kit.
Anglers who carry loads of tackle may find it a bit restrictive. If your idea of a quick session involves half the garage, you’ll want something larger. Keep the load focused and the bag makes much more sense.
Quick answers
The bits you’ll want to know
The bag measures 33cm high × 23cm wide × 27cm deep and is made from 600D fabric. It has a hard base, two side pockets, a top pocket, a front pocket and a large detachable strap.
It’s designed to carry fishing gear on a barrow, but it can also be used for spare clothes or camera equipment. That versatility is one of its strongest selling points.
Worth knowing. Nothing extra is specified as included, so plan on supplying your own tackle boxes, pouches or organisers if you want a more structured internal setup.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Compact footprint that won’t eat up loads of barrow space.
- Hard base helps the bag sit neatly and gives the contents a more stable home.
- Useful mix of front, top and side pockets for separating smaller items.
- Detachable strap makes it more versatile away from the swim.
- Can double up as a clothes or camera bag between fishing trips.
Worth knowing
- The compact dimensions won’t suit anglers carrying a mountain of tackle.
- No accessories or organisers are included, so you’ll need to sort the internal layout yourself.
- The hard base adds stability, but the bag won’t be as squashable as a soft-sided holdall.
