Rod case suggestions

Post by Aimless » Mon Mar 02, 2020 1:01 pm

Hey guys,

Looking for a rod case I can keep all my stuff in the back of the car with, reels on and ready to go.

Most of my rods are telescopic / multi-piece now, so it only needs to be 80cm maximum. Right now they are sitting upright in a half empty case of beer which isn't ideal as they knock around.

I was looking at a hard case from AliExpress but I'm not sure if I could pack it all in there.

Hard case example

Alternative just a soft case but I figure that leaves room for damage (but more flexible generally).

Soft Case Example

Any hot tips? Not looking to spend a bundle.

Make one yourself from 100MM stormwater pipe from bunnings and put the removable end caps on the end.

Cheers for that, I have seen the tubes around. Any where you can leave the reel on however? My rods are short so length isn't an issue but width with the reels attached are (I leave them rigged).
