kickingfrog Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) At 4 bucks I figured I'd get a few of these. They go from 25 to 40 inches and are just a hair over 3 inches in diameter. Cheap rod tubes. Edited March 20, 2018 by kickingfrog
TJQ Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 Holy Moly!! Which Dollar Store.... theres so many now lol
Rizzo Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 do they have one 9 feet long for my musky rods?
chris.brock Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 I haven't seen those. Are they sold as fishing rod tubes or something else?

I'm sure there is a way to turn two tubes into one that would do the trick. The wide sections are the end with the skinny being the part that would join all 3 sections in the middle.

kickingfrog Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Posted March 20, 2018 Dollarama south end Barrie in the complex that has Cabela's. My wife brought one home for my son's school project last night. I think they are intended for artwork and such. They're not super sturdy but they'll serve a purpose and are a lot lighter than pvc tubes.
Old Ironmaker Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 3 hours ago, Rizzo said: do they have one 9 feet long for my musky rods? Not 4 bucks but I made all my rod tubes out of various lengths of ABS, glued a cap on one end and a threaded coupling on the other end. Made a handles out of old leather belts glued and screwed.

wdodgetruck Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I use them for my paper lake charts when fishing lake Ontario. Edited March 21, 2018 by wdodgetruck
huzzsaba Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Is 3 inches width enough to fit a 4000 series reel? or would the reels need to come off?

huzzsaba Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 14 minutes ago, GBW said: reels off thanks. Didnt have the rod/reel in front of me so could not picture the size of the reel of the top of my head
GBW Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 No worries. Any reel bigger that an ice fishing reel will not fit and even an ice fishing reel may not...
16 Footer Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 I bought one yesterday at Dollarrama. Looks good to carry my rods in on back lake fishing trips.
