Fishing Rod Tube

Like any human-made instrument that’s long, slender, and prone to bending and twisting, a fishing rod can break if it’s subjected to too much weight or jostling around. You’ll save yourself a few needless trips to the repair shop, though, if you keep the rod in a solid fishing rod tube after the fishing is done.

Typically cylindrical and fashioned out of fibreglass, steel, aluminium, or other such solid material, a fishing rod tube holds your fishing rod until it’s ready for use. It also facilitates transportation of said rod. While you’re packing up your car or truck before driving off to the fishing hole, you’ll surely find it easier to pack up a steel cylinder than you will a fragile fishing rod.

Also, once you’ve parked, unpacked, and are walking toward the fishing hole, you can just sling the tube over your shoulder or hang it from your belt buckle. It will be a lot more convenient than carrying an exposed rod, which could easily get tangled up in underbrush or fall and dent itself on a pile of rocks.

If you’re rod is a fly-fishing rod, then your best bet might be a fly case. Mountain has a good one called the Cork 56 Triangular Fly Case. A 56-inch case with a triangular end point, it’s got a fully nylon-lined interior with jacquard webbing, and it can hold a fly rod of up to 9 feet in length—provided that the rod divides into at least two pieces or more.

The Mountain Cork Fishing Rod Travel Case is a great fishing rod tube for fly fishing. It’s roomy enough to hold up to five fly rods, provided that each one measures nine feet long or less and divides into at least three pieces. Its attractive green exterior covers a layer of foam padding that ensures utmost insulation and protection for the rods within. For your ease, this case has a lengthy carrying strap.

A layer of foam also protects rods that are carried around in the SKB-Rod Transport System, a high-density case made of rotationally molded polyethylene with padded foam at both ends so that you can lean the case at any angle and the rods will still be safe. It holds up to seven 7-foot-2-inches-long rods. Carrying this case is easy due to its handle and D-rings through which you can slip a shoulder strap (you buy the shoulder strap separately).
