Ian Golds Compact Igloo

Ian Golds Compact Igloo

A downsized version of the iconic Igloo thats been tried and tested by thousands of anglers up and down the country, the Ian Golds Compact Igloo is built specifically with the single angler in mind. Theres enough room inside for a seat box and additional tackle, and thanks to its three-legged design, youll have it up and ready to fish from in no time.

The frame offers some adjustability to suit your pitch, and just like the larger models in the Igloo family, shingle or sand can be piled onto the skirts to secure it against the wind, with pegs also supplied for other ground types. Velcro rod fixing points on the outside let you secure your rods safely off the ground, rounding off a compact, practical addition to a genuinely popular shelter range.

Specifications

Where To Use It

• Solo match and pleasure sessions Sized specifically for one angler, with enough room for a seat box and tackle without unnecessary bulk.
• Exposed or windy pegs Weighted skirts and supplied pegs let you secure the shelter firmly against the elements, whatever the ground underfoot.
• Quick-setup sessions The three-legged design is built for a genuinely fast pitch, so you lose minimal time getting your lines in.
• Keeping rods safe and tidy External Velcro rod fixing points keep your rods off the ground and out of harms way during the session.

Gerrys Fishing Pro Tip: Pile shingle or sand onto the skirts rather than just resting it there properly weighting the full length of each skirt is what stops the Igloo lifting or shifting in a sudden gust.
