Photo Details
Chad Huderle Registered: April 2008 Location: Prior Lake, MN Posts: 79	Started building custom fly rod tubes for my fly rod customers. Every tube is personalized and is made from 3/8" birch plywood. The end caps on this one are eastern red cedar. To protect the rod inside the tube I designed a fleece sleeve with separate pockets for each rod piece. One end cap is epoxied and the other is secured with six sets of 1/4" rare earth magnets.

Very nice. Good idea with the magnets. I would have never thought of that.

Very pretty. How solidly does the magnets hold? Does it take some effort to get the lid off? or is it really easy?

Thanks for the comments guys. Dave, the rare earth magnets hold very well. The cap won't come off if it's bumped or dropped. But when you grab the cap in one hand and the tube in the other the cap comes off with a little effort. I thought of using just three sets of magnets but wanted to error on the side of caution.
