Competition XS Top Kit Case Short 12

The Preston Competition XS Top Kit Case Short 12 is a holdall for the organised transport of up to twelve two-piece top kits. The internal storage tubes are impact-resistant and help protect the kit sections while travelling. This allows you to keep several top sets together in one holdall, rather than distributing them across additional luggage. The model is designed for anglers who carry many different top kits and want to store them neatly.

This Short version is 171 cm long and measures 15 × 9 cm in diameter. The combination of its shorter length and capacity for twelve two-piece kits sets it apart from the Long 8 in the same range. Always check the transport length of the individual sections before choosing a holdall. The outer fabric and lining are made from polyester, while the base is PVC.

Will every two-piece top kit fit?

That depends on the length and thickness of the stored sections. Preston does not provide a complete list of compatible models or the internal diameters of the tubes for this version. The 171 cm refers to the holdall length, not a guaranteed usable internal length. Therefore, do not rely solely on the total length of the assembled top kit.
