    Fairly limited selection. I have one of those bags though and it's great value at that price, lot's of little compartments etc.

    Isnt that LED fishing cap an ingenious idea :)

    Might get myself one of those bags. My last one, which cost a few bob actually, has seen its day.

    great bag alright but if your rod is a 10ft two piece then it will be a tight squeeze & will eventually tear a hole in the bottom of the bag.

    Picked up the tackle bag (bit tighter than i thought but still something i needed) and the neoprene gloves couldnt go wrong for €18.98.. Didnt bother with any the rest..

    I have one of those caps with the led light in it that I got at a camping shop a while ago. They're the business for fishing, especially for tying knots and undoing tangles as it gets dark.

    Are they waterproof?? what happens if the cap gets wet in heavy rain??

    I can't speak as to the durability of the ALDI caps. But the one I have has been soaked through several times and it still works fine. I've been out fishing with it in heavy downpours with no problems.

    As I said I bought it in a camping shop so it may be more suitable for outdoor use than the ones on offer at aldi. The one I have is also fleece lined and has ear covers. The ones on the aldi page don't look like they're lined.

    I picked up a bag for my Sea Fishing kit, won't use it for Trout Fishing trips as I have my Jacket.

    Overall it seems the job, I have often seen guys using toolboxes to keep their tackle, but when you have to haul one down a few fields to get to some rocky fishing spot, it can be a pain. :D
