Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers carrying a small set of essential spares. It gives spare bobbins, scissors and a hook-sharpening kit a dedicated home without taking over your carryall.
- Mobile anglers and margin fishers. The slim profile can go in a pocket or a Korda luggage side pouch, so the bits you need stay close when you’re moving swims.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers building lots of rigs or carrying loads of terminal tackle. The 4 cm depth and compact footprint are intentionally restrictive. You’ll need something bigger for a full rig-making loadout.
- Anyone wanting an all-in-one tackle box. This is a small organiser, not a complete terminal tackle system, and it arrives empty.
The lowdown
Introducing the Korda Compac Tackle Pouch
A slim little bit of tackle luggage for the bits that usually end up rattling around loose. The Compac 70 keeps spares, scissors and sharpening kit together without eating into your main luggage space.
- Slimmest pouch in the Korda Compac Tackle Pouch range
- Measures 15.5 × 8.5 × 4 cm
- Made from water-resistant 600D fabric with a semi-rigid, shape-retaining construction
- Designed for spare bobbins, scissors and hook-sharpening kits, with an internal zipped lid pocket for smaller items
Quick verdict
Verdict
The Compac 70 is a cracking little pouch for keeping small, important bits together. It’s slim enough for a pocket or a side pouch, but still gives you a proper place for scissors, spare bobbins and a hook-sharpening kit.
It won’t replace a full tackle box, and the capacity is deliberately limited. For a tidy little grab-and-go pouch that stops your essentials disappearing into the bottom of a carryall, though, it’s bob on.

The water-resistant 600D fabric, semi-rigid construction and heavy-duty dual zips give it a properly solid feel for compact luggage.
It does its intended job well by keeping a small collection of tools and spares together and easy to reach.
It won’t catch fish by itself, but quicker access to scissors, needles and bobbin spares can keep you ready when a chance comes along.
The slim shape, two-way access and separate lid pocket make it simple to pack, carry and rummage through.
Its value comes from focused organisation and portability, though anglers needing more capacity will get more from a larger pouch.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Korda Compac Tackle Pouch
There’s always a handful of tackle that needs to be close, isn’t there? Spare bobbins. Scissors. A baiting needle. Maybe an isotope or two and a hook-sharpening kit. None of it takes up much room, but chuck it loose in a carryall and it soon vanishes into the abyss.
That’s where the Korda Compac 70 Tackle Pouch comes in. This is the slimmest pouch in the Compac Tackle Pouch range, built for the little essentials rather than a full spread of terminal tackle. Think of it as a tidy grab-and-go wallet for the bits that keep a session moving.
The dimensions are 15.5 × 8.5 × 4 cm, so it’s genuinely compact. You can pop it in a pocket, or tuck it into a side pouch on a Korda luggage system. Handy when you’re moving between swims, stalking the margins or just don’t fancy dragging the whole carryall down the lake.
Inside, the main compartment is best suited to spare bobbins, scissors and hook-sharpening kits. That’s a sensible mix. These are the tools you might need quickly when the rods are out, without wanting to rummage through rig wallets, bait tubs and a load of other bank clutter.
There’s also an internal zipped pocket in the lid. That little space is made for the really easy-to-lose stuff: baiting needles, isotopes and spare bobbin chains. Keeping those bits separate is a proper bonus, especially when a screaming take has you scrabbling around and trying to get everything sorted sharpish.
The pouch uses water-resistant 600D fabric, which is the sort of material you want on fishing luggage. It should shrug off the odd splash, damp grass and a bit of condensation better than a flimsy fabric wallet. That doesn’t make it waterproof, mind, so don’t treat it like a dry bag or leave it sat in a puddle.
Its semi-rigid, shape-retaining construction is another good touch. The Compac 70 should hold its form rather than collapsing every time it’s empty or only half loaded. That makes it easier to find what you’re after, and it also gives the contents a bit more protection than a soft, floppy pouch.
The dual heavy-duty zips finish things off nicely. Two zips let you open the pouch from either end and make the contents easier to reach, while the premium construction suits a bit of regular bank abuse. No faffing with fiddly fasteners when you need a needle or scissors.
The catch is capacity, and that’s deliberate. This isn’t a rig station, terminal tackle box or place for every hook, swivel and lead clip in your armoury. Pack it with the right small essentials and it’s spot on. Overfill it, and you’ll lose the tidy, slim advantage that makes the Compac 70 appealing.
So, who should buy it? Anyone fed up with small tackle rattling around loose, particularly mobile carp anglers who like to keep the setup lean. It’s a neat bit of luggage with a clear job, and for that job it makes a lot of sense. Just remember: the pouch is supplied empty, mate.

Our take
The angle
This is all about keeping the small stuff under control. Rather than carrying a bulky pouch packed with kit you probably won’t touch, the Compac 70 gives you a narrow home for the bits you want close at hand.
The internal zipped lid pocket is especially useful for baiting needles, isotopes and spare bobbin chains. They’re exactly the sort of bits that go missing when they’re loose in a rucksack or side pocket.
Small pouch, clear purpose
A tidy home for the bits that go walkabout
The Compac 70 is a narrow, semi-rigid pouch made from water-resistant 600D fabric. Its shape-retaining construction stops it folding in on itself, while the dual heavy-duty zips give you straightforward access from either end.
The main compartment is aimed at spare bobbins, scissors and hook-sharpening kits. In the lid, an internal zipped pocket separates smaller items such as baiting needles, isotopes and spare bobbin chains.
Worth knowing. The compact size is the whole point. It’s 15.5 × 8.5 × 4 cm, so don’t try turning it into a mini tackle shop. Keep the load sensible and it stays neat, slim and easy to grab.
Built for mobile tackle
Ideal when you don’t want the kitchen sink
This pouch makes most sense for anglers who fish light, move swims or like their essential tools within easy reach. It can sit in a pocket or slot into a side pouch on a Korda luggage system, keeping the key bits close while the main luggage stays back at the swim.
It’s also useful as a dedicated backup pouch. Keep a spare bobbin, scissors and sharpening kit together, and you’re less likely to discover halfway through a bite-time that one crucial item is buried in the bottom of a carryall.
Worth knowing. If your idea of organised tackle is several rig wallets, hook boxes and loads of spare components, go bigger. The Compac 70 is for essentials, not a full terminal tackle loadout.
The useful bits
A few quick answers before you buy
Can it carry scissors and a hook-sharpening kit? Yes, that’s exactly the sort of use Korda has aimed it at. Keep bulky items sensible and use the lid pocket for the smaller loose bits.
Is the fabric waterproof? No. It’s water-resistant 600D fabric, so it offers useful protection from splashes and damp conditions, but it shouldn’t be treated as fully waterproof.
Worth knowing. Tackle contents aren’t included. You’re buying the Dark Kamo pouch itself, ready for you to fill with the bits you trust.

What anglers say
The word from the bank
Our read: verdict. The strongest reasons to choose it are very slim and easy to carry in a pocket or luggage side pouch and semi-rigid shape helps it keep its form instead of collapsing into a crumpled mess; the main trade-off is limited capacity, so it won’t suit anglers wanting to carry a broad selection of terminal tackle.
