I am a bank fisherman and make no bones about it. For years I had been trying to make a fishing rod transport system. I tried guitar cases (It was ugly). I tried PVC tubes (They were way too heavy). I even tried Camo cloth sacks (Not quite what I really wanted.)
Recently I found some clear and thin package tubes that had an inside diameter of 1.75 inches and could be cut to Three and a half foot lengths. I searched and found some red soft rubber caps to use on the end of the tubes. I used a small nut and bolt that would join them together and inserted a key ring on the nut and bolt before tightening the bolt. That key ring served as a place to hook on a gym bag or luggage strap.
