The NASH Subterfuge Rucksack is a fishing backpack designed for carp anglers seeking both carrying comfort and optimal organization of their gear. A true hybrid between a rucksack and a fishing carryall, it allows easy transport of all necessary equipment while offering exemplary accessibility once set up on the spot.
Its large, rigidified central compartment provides excellent structure even when fully loaded. Thanks to a zipped rear panel that opens fully, the bag folds flat to give an immediate overview of the contents. This flat opening simplifies packing, access to boxes and pouches, and positioning the bag under a bedchair or shelter without losing practicality.
Another major feature: the strap system that can be clipped to the back to create a stable work surface. This Subterfuge-range innovation turns the bag into a true rigging station, ideal for placing the supplied magnetic tray, preparing rigs, sorting accessories, or keeping leaders and small components within reach.
The NASH Subterfuge Rucksack stands out especially for its ability to organize the gear of demanding carp anglers. Each area of the bag has been designed for a specific function: external pockets hold pouches, rigs, leads and accessory boxes, while the central compartment houses bulkier items. This clear organization saves valuable time when setting up on the swim and minimizes unnecessary handling.
For modern carp fishing, where you switch quickly between sounding, baiting, rigging and fighting fish, having a fishing gear transport bag that opens flat is a decisive advantage. The Subterfuge Rucksack keeps everything within reach without digging to the bottom of a vertical bag. You work directly on the work surface created by the clipped straps, with the magnetic tray positioned next to the main compartment, like a small dedicated table.
In terms of comfort, this carp fishing backpack is designed to withstand approach walks, bait boat launches or frequent moves between spots. The padded straps and structured back distribute the load, while the EVA handles make loading and unloading from the vehicle easier. Ultimately, the Subterfuge Rucksack is a great alternative to a classic carryall while providing the freedom of movement of a true rucksack.
To get the most from your NASH fishing backpack, start by organizing the main compartment with the bulkiest and most-used items: main tackle boxes, spare clothing, bait bags and technical accessories. Reserve the padded external pockets for themed pouches and boxes (rigs, leads, floats, electronics) so you can immediately identify each equipment category.
Use the external elastic loops to store banksticks, rod supports, distance sticks or landing net handles, avoiding soiling the interior after a rainy session. Once positioned on the spot, clip the shoulder straps to the rear to transform the bag into a stable work surface, place the magnetic tray and arrange your small accessories. After the session, a quick wipe with a sponge or damp cloth on the reinforced base is enough to remove mud and dirt and extend the life of your fishing carryall.
Question 1: Is this backpack suitable for long carp fishing sessions?
Answer: Yes, the NASH Subterfuge Rucksack is perfectly suited for long sessions as well as quick outings. Its large main compartment, multiple organized pockets and reinforced base make it a carp fishing backpack capable of carrying all essentials while remaining comfortable to carry thanks to padded straps and the hybrid rucksack/carryall design.
