Prologic Carp Fishing Bag Review

You might be wondering why a vegan is reviewing a fishing carryall.
Well after my extensive research and development into porteur racks. I started looking into bags to run with my Velo Orange Porteur.
The custom made bags were a bit pricey for me so I started looking around for alternatives. I was looked at camera bags for a while and a few looked promising but the I stumbled across a shimano fishing bag which was rad but this prologic one is the best Ive found.
Lemme show you why…..

It comes in CAMO

Its got one large padded compartment for all your rare collectables.
And two front pockets for you tools, tubes and maps.

A easy access rear pocket for you keys and headphones

Side net pockets you can stick a small Dlock in.

Heres famous male model plagways heron making hansom look easy.

Top carry handle and padded moulded waterproof bottom.

And the best feature.
It fits perfect on my Velo Orange portuer.

Front flap clips under the rail at the front and the shoulder strap under the rail on the side to hold it down tight.

Perfect fit.

Since I got mine two other dudes have got em. Heres Jammys green one on his surly.

It gets Ten out of Ten on the Skulls meter.
At only £25 its a bargain too.

So not much to do with bikes except we all rode there. But SBC does get a credit on the AWESOME poster.

Me and Jammy from TokyoFixed organised this and it actually was super RAD.

This had been a dream of mine for a few years and made me realise you gotta realise your dreams cause chances are your dreams are pretty fucking cool!

Thanks to everyone that came.
Thanks to the DJ’s Into the Void. For the sick tunes and epic poster.
