Advanta Discovery CCX Luggage
Affordability and practicality is at the heart of the Advanta range...
Just four years ago we typed, in this very section of the magazine: “You’ve probably never heard of the Advanta brand, but with an incredible number of new products rolling off their production line in twenty-fourteen, it’s a name you’re going to be hearing a lot about.” Fast-forward to 2018 and there’s now over 250 products rolling off that production line, a 108-page catalogue, and fresh for the New Year is the 12-piece Discovery CCX collection: a core range of tough, hard-wearing luggage items which all come dressed in luverly DPM camo.
1. Advanta CCX Carryall Medium
For a carryall to excel, it has to offer easy access and useful storage. Well, the Advanta boffins have designed a couple of corkers here! Available in Medium or Large but boosting the same features: One large, easy access zipped centre compartment, two large fully padded side pockets, one full-length zipped accessory front pocket and one full-length zipped rear pocket. They’re comfy to carry too, thanks to the padded shoulder strap and carry handles. £34.99 and £39.99
2. Advanta CCX Rucksack Medium and Large
There are still situations where you need to carry your gear due to inaccessible terrain, ruling out barrows, and this duo of ‘sacks fit the bill perfectly. Construction-wise, it’s belt and braces throughout: heavy-duty zips and 900 x 600 ultra tough polyester fabric. Feature-wise they both have a large front pocket; detachable insulated cool bag which sits on top and stores food/bait; one large side pocket and two smaller side ones; and all pocket zips are fully shrouded to ensure minimal water ingress. £44.99 and £54.99
3. Advanta CCX Combi Boat & Barrow Bag
The most unique item from the collection. It’s a barrow bag - which is perfectly designed to house your bait boat - but can also be used as a rucksack. Twin side handles above each pocket (which are perfect for storing boat batteries) means it’s a dream to lift in and out of your wagon. And, being of a low profile, it can be kept under most standard bedchairs when not in use. £69.99
4. Advanta CCX Soft Tackle Box
Any weight-saving-savvy angler needs one of these – the perfect end tackle storage solution to replace that heavy and dated tackle box of yours. And its use doesn’t start and end with terminal tackle; digital devices such as cameras and sonar products will be well protected. £9.99
5. Advanta CCX 10ft & 12ft Lite Rod Sleeve
Lightweight fabric construction that can be used on their own, or with the 5 Rod Quiver. They can be used to house 12ft or the in-vogue 10ft rods and feature a neoprene mid-section to offer more protection to the reel. Just like all the items in the range, these feature heavy-duty zips for secure fastening. £14.99 and £16.99
6. Advanta CCX 5 Rod Quiver
Quiver, eh? Normally a bit of a pain to get everything in, but this thing certainly packs some punches. It’ll take an umbrella/oval, sticks, storm poles, net(s), accessories and five rods - either on sleeves or simply banded up - and unlike most traditional quivers which offer zero tip protection, this comes complete with a Top Cover which zips/Velcros on. £39.99
