Preston Competition XS 4 Rod Holdall – holdall for transporting up to four made-up rods
The Preston Innovations Competition XS 4 Rod Holdall is designed for anglers who take up to four made-up rods to the water. Internal straps and separate compartments keep your tackle in place during transport, so you spend less time organising your gear when you arrive at your swim.
Available in 195 cm and 165 cm versions, allowing you to choose according to the transport length of your rods. The durable outer material, reinforced stress points and padded handles are practical for regularly carrying your gear from your vehicle to the water.
Key features and technologies
- Space for up to four made-up rods: lets you carry several ready-to-fish setups in one holdall, reducing the number of separate bags you need.
- Internal retaining straps: limit rod movement during carrying and transport.
- Internal dividers: separate the rods and reduce contact between them inside the holdall.
- Durable outer fabric and reinforced stress points: help the holdall withstand regular handling and the strain of transporting tackle.
- Heavy-duty branded zips and padded handles: provide easy access to your gear and make a fully loaded holdall more comfortable to carry.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How many made-up rods fit in the holdall?
A: The holdall is designed for up to four made-up rods. Internal compartments keep them separate during transport.
Q: How do I choose between the 165 cm and 195 cm versions?
A: Measure the transport length of your rods when packed down, rather than their full fishing length. The listed holdall dimensions do not indicate the usable internal length, so allow sufficient clearance when choosing and do not assume a tight fit will work.
Q: Are the rods secured inside the holdall?
A: Yes, the holdall has internal rod retaining straps and dividers that keep the rods separate. This reduces movement and contact between items of tackle during transport.
Q: How much does the empty holdall weigh, and does it have padded handles?
A: The 165 cm version weighs 2,95 kg, while the 195 cm version weighs 3,34 kg. Both have padded carry handles.
