Hide Pole Bags

[kaunda]

Here's one for the manufacturers or suppliers of hide poles and their generally canvas carriers.

Of necessity hide poles are sharp ended and invariably,and quickly,wear holes in the bottom of the carrier,which condition requires all manner of bodging to repair.

Could they consider stronger re-inforcement at this strategic point ?

Tip

Put poles in the bag with spike face up.

 

My bag isn't even canvas and has lasted over 6 years with no tears

There are cheap (about £15) rod quiver holdalls about, I bought one from the Bay of E some time ago, they are great for hide poles (spikes up) and also floater and bouncer poles.

I even get my shooting umbrella in, when I need it.

I cut and shaped a 4 inch lump of foam to fit the bottom of a sample bag I was given...

6 poles 3 nets and 10 decoys fit in just right.

When it eventually dies I will have it copied in rip-stop material...

I use a rod quiver , get 8 poles , floaters brolly and gun in slip in it with room to spare , I found a small plastic bucket which fitted in the bottom of the quiver a treat , that stops anything getting through the bottom.

Shootwarehouse does pole bags. im on my second in about 10 yrs and the first one shed its zip with the bottom still intact.

[billytheghillie]

aldi and lidl do good bags, when they have them in.

[steve_b_wales]

I carry my hide poles, with the spikes facing up, but I have added two old towels in the bottom of my holdall bag for extra protection.

Will try Shoot Warehouse in the morning - My bag is on its last legs.

I wouldn't have thought anyone would be silly enough to put hide poles in a bag, spike down.

Sage like Motty!

I use an old small (1/2 set) golf club bag got from car boot sale cost £1.00.

takes 6 hide poles, 4 floater sets and over a dozen decoy shells.

A larger one would take the gun as well

Ref Post 13

Swords and scabbards come to mind.

 

With the points uppermost one can,dependant on one's bodily proportions,the mode of carriage,the length of the poles,the design of the bag and the fitting of the sling,suffer some serious actual bodily harm as my neck and ears can attest.

I had a hide pole bag once, and it had 5 loops on the outside to slot the poles in. It would have worked better if there had been loops at the top as well. (which had now given me an idea)

I note that A-1 do a Hide Pole Bag for GBP7.00, at this price hardly worth the bother of repair/refurbishment of a pierced bag.

[hushpower]

put a soup can in the bottom,problem solved

That's what I did.

Half milk carton in the bottom of bag

 

As for pinewood tops being loose. Glue them in.
