At low-rent end, 150mm water pipe, some foam and some gaffer tape.

Last time I splurged and bought the blue glue and ends and screw cap. I wrapped all the rods in something soft so they didn't bang together.

Or, individual lengths of thinner tube.

I'd offer you mine, but it's only 1.5m or something close - 2-piece fly rods.

so why cant i lock my rod tube?? ide rather spend 5 bucks on a lock than have the possibility of 300 dollars plus of rod possibly going missing?

sounds like cheap insurance to me...

thanks for the offer simon.

cheers phil

I have flown with rod tubes with screw caps one end. One came with my fly rod and is about 40mm and I have a storm water pipe 90mm for a few other rods. I have never had a problem with any tampering.

Locks if you want to.

If you fly to the states unless the lock is TSA approved (they can open it) they will just use the bolt cutters.

Phill if you need any cylindrical foam I have plenty in the garage ..



I think the pics tell the story.

you have an instant carry case for your Rod...you can put a handle on the PVC pipe for ease of carrying .

thanks cos! i'll remember for next time.
i made up the tube today. one end glued and the other will just be speed taped on. thanks bunnings for not having anything!...
i used 65mm water and vent pipe.

cheers phil
