Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers carrying a full spread of terminal tackle. The main compartment has room for multiple Tribal Accessory Bags, so rigs, leads, hooks and spares can stay separated and easy to find.
- Anglers who like a tidy, modular luggage setup. The carryall is designed around Shimano’s compatible Accessory Bags, giving you a straightforward way to build a proper tackle system.
Maybe skip if
- Short-session anglers carrying only the basics. The large format could feel a bit daft when all you need is a small rig wallet, a few leads and a handful of hookbaits.
- Anglers wanting a complete tackle solution in one purchase. The carryall itself doesn’t include any Tribal Accessory Bags, so the internal organisation needs extra purchases.
The lowdown
Introducing the Shimano Tribal Carp Large Carryall
A roomy, properly organised carryall for anglers who like their terminal tackle, bait bits and backup gear kept together and easy to grab.
- 600D outer fabric with a padded EVA internal lining.

Quick verdict
Verdict
The Shimano Tribal Carp Large Carryall is a cracking choice if you want one big, tidy bag for the tackle and session bits that normally end up scattered around the barrow. Its 600D outer, padded EVA lining and reinforced PowerStitch seams give it the right sort of build for regular carp fishing.
It’s not the smallest bit of luggage, and you’ll need to buy the Tribal Accessory Bags separately to make full use of its internal capacity. Still, for keeping your kit together and saving a load of faff on the bank, it’s a proper useful carryall.

600D fabric, padded EVA lining, reinforced seams and HD zippers give it a reassuringly capable build.
The generous main compartment and multiple pockets should make tackle access and session packing properly straightforward.
It won’t catch the fish for you, but faster access to rigs, leads and small essentials can reduce faff when the swim is on the munch.
The modular capacity, external pockets and choice of handles or padded shoulder strap make everyday organisation simple.
It offers useful capacity and solid features, but the accessory bags needed for the full system are an additional spend.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Shimano Tribal Carp Large Carryall
If your tackle storage usually goes a bit feral by bite-time, the Shimano Tribal Carp Large Carryall is aimed squarely at you, mate. This is a roomy carp luggage bag built to keep a proper spread of terminal tackle and session essentials together, rather than leaving you rummaging through three different pouches when the rods are off.
The headline here is capacity. The main compartment can take up to five large Tribal Accessory Bags, ten medium bags or twenty small ones. That gives you plenty of scope to split hooks, swivels, leads, rig components, PVA bits and bait tools into sensible groups instead of chucking everything into one big tackle soup.
That modular approach is the real reason to look at this carryall. You can set it up around the way you fish. One bag for chod and stiff rigs, another for lead clips, another for hooklinks and coated braid. Keep the bits you use most in the outer pockets and you’ll spend less time performing a full tackle-box excavation on the mat.
The main compartment is protected by a padded EVA internal lining, which is a handy touch when the bag is packed with hard-edged tackle boxes and accessory pouches. It gives the contents a bit of cushioning and helps the carryall feel more substantial than a thin, floppy holdall.
Outside, you get three external pockets. That’s useful for the quick-grab stuff you don’t want buried under everything else. Think scissors, bait stops, marker gear or a handful of ready rigs. There’s also an internal mesh pocket for smaller odds and ends, so those little bits don’t disappear into the bottom of the bag like they’ve done a runner.
Build-wise, the 600D outer fabric is the sort of material you’d expect on luggage intended for regular bank work. It should cope nicely with being loaded onto a barrow, slid into the bivvy and shifted around a swim. The PowerStitch reinforced seams are another reassuring detail, particularly when you’re tempted to fill every available inch.
The HD zippers should make daily access straightforward too. Nobody wants a zip that snags when rain’s coming in sideways and you’re trying to grab a rig. Alongside the main opening, those external pockets mean you can divide your kit by how often you need it, which is bob on during a longer campaign-style session.
Carrying options are nicely covered. Two side handles make it easy to lift from the car or barrow, while the padded shoulder strap helps when you’re moving between swims. Just remember that a large carryall can get heavy once it’s loaded with tackle, so the shoulder strap is handy for transfers rather than a licence to carry the whole lot miles.
At 58 x 32 x 30 cm, this isn’t a dainty little day bag. It’s proper luggage for anglers who carry plenty of options and like having the right bit ready when conditions change. If you’re a minimalist who takes one rig wallet and a few leads, it’ll probably feel like overkill. For the organised carp angler, though, it’s a cracking base for a clean, efficient tackle setup.

Our take
The big question: does it make tackle organisation easier?
This carryall is all about bringing order to a busy carp setup. The main compartment is big enough for up to five large, ten medium or twenty small Tribal Accessory Bags, so it can handle a serious spread of rigs, leads, hooks, bait tools and spares.
The layout makes most sense for anglers who already use, or plan to use, Shimano Tribal Accessory Bags. Fill it sensibly and you’ve got a grab-and-go tackle station rather than one giant compartment full of loose packets and tangled odds and ends.
A closer look
Room for a serious tackle spread
The Shimano Tribal Carp Large Carryall combines a roomy main compartment with three external pockets and one internal mesh pocket. The main section is sized around Tribal Accessory Bags, with capacity for up to five large, ten medium or twenty small bags. That makes it much easier to separate terminal tackle by job rather than fishing through one stuffed compartment.
The 600D outer fabric, padded EVA internal lining, PowerStitch reinforced seams and HD zippers give it a suitably robust feel on paper. Two side handles cover lifting and loading, while the padded shoulder strap is useful when you’re shifting kit from the car park or moving swims.
Worth knowing. No Tribal Accessory Bags are included. The carryall gives you the storage framework, but the modular setup needs those compatible bags bought separately.
Who it suits
Best for organised carp anglers
This is a strong fit for anglers who carry lots of terminal tackle and like to keep it split into clear categories. It’ll suit longer sessions especially well, where spare rigs, hook patterns, lead systems and small tools all earn a place in the luggage.
It also makes sense if you’re already using Shimano Tribal Accessory Bags. Build the contents around the type of fishing you do, keep frequently used bits in the outside pockets, and the carryall becomes a proper grab-and-go tackle station.
Worth knowing. If your usual session is a quick overnighter with minimal kit, the large format may be more bag than you need. It’s designed for choice and organisation, not travelling ultra-light.
FAQs in full
The bits you’ll want to know
The carryall measures 58 x 32 x 30 cm. That’s a generous size for tackle storage, so check you’ve got room in your barrow and bivvy setup before loading it up with every spare bit in the shed.
Its carry options are simple and practical: two side handles for lifting and a padded shoulder strap for moving it between the vehicle, barrow and swim. Once heavily loaded, using the barrow will usually be the more comfortable option.
The accessory capacity figures refer to Shimano Tribal Accessory Bags: up to five large, ten medium or twenty small in the main compartment. Those bags aren’t part of the package, so factor them into the cost if you want the full modular system.
