atvaholic Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Hey Just got a new 10'6 Steelhead Rod after my son Stepped on my old Fenwick chrome killer Was looking around for a case that would house my rod and reel setup. Even better if I can keep two in there. Local Fish Shop only has the tubes, but I'd like something to hold the whole setup, reel included. But nobody seems to have one around here. Does anybody know where I might find one? Broken down length is 65 inches. Edited December 9, 2013 by atvaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thin walled pvc pipe cut to length and a couple of test caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atvaholic Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah I thought about that. But i'd need a pretty thick diameter PVC pipe to keep the reel attached. And i'd like to have 2 rods setup. Edited December 9, 2013 by atvaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) You're best bet is going to be a flyrod case, but it really depends on where your reel is positioned on your float rod. I think a better idea would be to keep it in the closet out of reach of the little ones Edited December 9, 2013 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've found that longer 2 piece rods are troublesome to find a rod/reel cae for, and when you do they are quite expensive. I would just try to keep it out of the way. I have been fortunate so far and my youngster hasn't wrecked any fishing gear yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzza Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sail have some reasonably priced rod/reel cases that would probably work (think the spey ones are blue) but like Bill says, it depends on your reel position, if you have it near the bottom like a spey rod , it'll work if you have it near the top, it might not fit.

Ralph Field Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I bought a case that will hold my 13' rod and reel at Lambeth Rod & Tackle for around $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
