由 Francis Haines The Redington Fly Rod Storage Carry Travel Hard Case (31″ Long) is a durable and protective case designed specifically for fly anglers who need to transport their gear safely. Here are the key features and details:
Key Features:
– Length: 31 inches (ideal for 4-piece 9′ fly rods when broken down).
– Capacity: Fits a standard 4-piece 9-foot fly rod (each section ~27-30″ long).
– Material: Hard-shell exterior for maximum protection against impacts, drops, and rough handling.
– Interior: Padded lining to cushion the rod and prevent scratches or damage.
– Portability: Lightweight yet sturdy, with a carrying handle for easy transport.
– Travel-Friendly: Fits in most overhead compartments, car trunks, or strapped to a backpack.
– Zipper Closure: Secure zipper to keep the rod sections in place.
Compatibility:
– Designed for 4-piece fly rods (common for travel rods).
– Works with most 9-foot rods (standard for freshwater trout, bass, etc.).
– May fit shorter or longer rods depending on breakdown length (e.g., 8’6″ or 10′ rods if they break down to ~30″ sections).
Use Cases:
– Air Travel: Protects rods from baggage handling.
– Road Trips: Keeps rods safe in a car or RV.
– Storage: Organizes rods at home or in a vehicle.
Alternatives (If Unavailable):
– Sage Durable Rod Tube (similar hard case).
– Fishpond Dakota Rod Case (padded, semi-rigid option).
– Orvis Safe Passage Carry-it-all Tube (longer multi-rod case).
Final Verdict:
This case is a great choice if you need compact, rugged protection for a single 4-piece fly rod. If you carry multiple rods, consider a larger case like the Orvis Safe Passage or a Fishpond Thunderhead Submersible (waterproof option).
