Fishing Rod Tubes

Top-of-the-line fishing rods might be deadly weapons out on the water, but they are terribly fragile once you’ve brought them back on land. Keep a rod in your car, your closet, or a place in your cellar, and it might not be long before a weight of something falls on it and puts a severe dent in it that requires your and a repairman’s intervention.

This can be aggravating, not to mention expensive. But it can also be very avoidable. Fishing rods will be as safe as can be if their owners store them in reliable fishing rod tubes. Fishing rod tubes are solid cylindrical structures that house rods and keep them safe from being crushed or roughed up.

They’re what rods can go in any time they are somewhere other than on the water. If the rods are stashed away in your home, they can go in the tubes. If you’re travelling on an airplane, they can go in the tubes. If you’re packing up your car en route to a fishing excursion, you can put the rods in the tubes and take them with you until you are actually on the water. In short, anywhere the rods go, they can go inside the tubes.

Some fishing rod tubes will fit individual rods. Others are much bigger and roomier, and made for stashing multiple rods together into one safe space. The Plano Airliner Telescoping Rod Case is of the latter kind. Its interior can house as many as eight fishing rods, assuming each one’s length is seven feet or less.

The Plano Airliner Telescoping Rod Case itself is adjustable—you can collapse it to 47 inches long or expend it to 88 inches long, depending on the length of the rods that it’s supposed to store. This case is also available as a Jumbo case that extends up to 112 inches.

The Flambeau Outdoors Rod Tube, on the other hand, is fine if you only have one fishing rod to worry about. This tube will keep that one rod safe in its 56-inches-long shell. This relatively simple tube is good for toting a rod in your car.

Flambeau also has a Bazuka Pro Rod Case that it recommends for airline travel. Its length adjusts from 73 inches to 102 inches. It will protect rods within its padded foam layer. You’ll find a hinged door at both sides for convenient loading.
