What can I store in the expandable side pocket?

What are the dimensions of the sleeve?
While specific external dimensions are not provided, the internal layout is designed to be slim while accommodating large reels and 50mm rings for 12ft rods.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to close
Ensure no fabric or equipment is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If stubborn, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite to the teeth.
Side pocket not expanding fully
Check that the side pocket zipper is fully open and that no internal items are obstructing the expansion mechanism. Ensure the bivvy or other items are packed efficiently within the pocket.
Rods feel loose inside
Adjust the Velcro rod straps to ensure a snug fit. Make sure the reel is seated correctly within its compartment and that the rod sections are aligned properly.
External straps won't secure extra rods
Ensure the external straps are threaded through the rod handles and tightened securely. Check that the rods are positioned correctly against the sleeve for optimal stability.
