Travel Rod Cases

[KYBassin']

I'll be jumping on an airplane in a month to go do some fishing...gonna need a rod case. Anyone have a recommendation? Not trying to spend a lot of cash since I don't fly to fish often...but don't want junk either. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks

As someone who has flown with rod tubes in the past, I have two suggestions. For any of those tubes that are adjustable for length, put a wooden dowel rod in with your fishing rods that is a few inches longer than your longest rods. As a second protection, I wrap duct tape around the thinner section right where to two sections come together. You are trying to keep the 2 sections from being pushed together. We had that happen on a trip to Canada. 2 guys had every one of their rods broken.

Great advice. Thanks.
