COLMIC PORTACANNE BLUE GREY SERIES BOLO SWITCH 003

Colmic Rod Holdall Blue Grey Series Bolo Switch 003 is a flagship, high-capacity rod case engineered by Colmic for transporting multiple fully rigged rods complete with reels. Finished in the iconic Blue Grey Series livery, this 170 cm tall holdall sits at the top of its class for storage volume, handling ergonomics, and tackle protection.

The internal configuration features three large contoured compartments, purpose-built to hold up to 6 fully assembled rod-and-reel setups (bolognese, match float, feeder, or lure rods), alongside a fourth straight compartment designed for landing net handles, umbrellas, telescopic rods, and banksticks. The core technical highlight is the revolutionary "Switch" rear-opening design: the heavy-duty zippers are positioned on the backside of the compartments, entirely preventing monofilament or fluorocarbon mainlines from catching in the zipper teeth during closure. Constructed with a heavy-duty rubberized bottom base, reinforced stitching, and shockproof anti-corrosion plastic zippers, it offers rugged durability in harsh environments. To offset its expanded width (43 x 29 cm profile), model 003 features side-mounted padded shoulder straps and carry handles, balancing load distribution on the angler's body. An external 97 cm zipped side pocket completes the setup for extra hardware storage.
