Lightweight fly (or whatever) rod tube

[Hawg]

For all you creek/lake stompers and kayak fishers out there….

My fly fishing pack has two ports that will fit a small diameter aluminum rod tube. I only have the newer style soft on the outside rod cases so when I want to bring more than one rod it starts to become cumbersome. Also, I like to travel light so I ended up with this..

 

Five dollar fluorescent bulb storage tube in the light department at Home Depot.

 

A few end caps for round tubing at true value.

 

A six dollar roll of camo gorilla tape. It made three rod tubes for about $12.
 

I put three strips of tape on each tube long ways overlapping and one layer around each end to hold it down.

 

Definitely not bulletproof but much better than just having it in my sock sticking out of the bag. The gorilla tape increases the strength and could be handy to repair a boat or bandage something if needed heh.

Nice and stealthy camo added.
