DIY rod tube

[Bassdestroyer]

I need to ship a rod but don't have rod tube, how do i make one or how can i get one , I heard you could go to a bait shop and get one, so does cabelas or bass pro give them out, looking for those cardboard ones not the plastic ones

If you were close to where I live, I'd give you one. I have a stack of them in my garage. You put no information about yourself in your profile, so i don't know where you're at.

Go to your local home-improvement store and buy an 8 foot inch or inch and a half PVC tube with end caps. Rod should always always always be shipped in PVC.

You're asking for trouble with the cardboard tubes. The shipping isn't that much more. Use pvc

[rippin-lips]

7-8 feet of 2" pvc and 2 encaps will run you about $13

Buy sch 40 & glue sponges on each end. Tape end caps on.

i would suggest a 3'' schedule 40 tube , any skinnier and it will flex ( bend ) , i have a 3'' sch.40 tube that is at least 1/4'' thick walling and is pretty indestructible , when Mike ( DVT) gets it in a week or so he can attest to that
