Why not have a rod case? My two-piece rod and reel fit inside a cordura case, strung up. Multi-rod fishermen may want more storage than that.

Maybe the case is the way to go as well.
When fishing multiple days a close in locations, nice to leave the rod at full length, but have broken it down for many years as well. Thanks again 🐟

Just bought my first FWC Hawk , flyfishing for 30 years in a tent, amp’ed to hit the road early spring. It’s 5 degrees here in Virginia. Need 2 rod vaults 10’ So just take a pvc tube and line it with pipe insulation? How do you get the insulation 9’ down the tube to stay in place ? Great idea, got to figure out something. Please explain. Thanks

So I did the same thing. But I used 2” pvc and bought 3/8” insulation for 1” pipe from Amazon. It comes in 3’ sections so it’s challenging to get inside.
What I did was 1) Soap it up with a dish soap and water mix, 2) put a 10’ piece of 1/2” PVC inside it 3) my son held a shop vac to the far side.
The insulation sucks down onto 1/2” pvc and you can slide it in. Once you start, you’ll get it figured out.
Let me know if I can help
