Transporting rods

For the second time I've lost another blank from the back of my truck due to the bag it was in catching the wind. DON'T TRANSPORT BLANKS IN THE BAG IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK. The first time it was a cheap blank but this time it was a GUSA that I had them color green.

Yes maybe a bit strong but I really liked that blank and planned to start on it last night. The fact that I've done this now twice is an idiot move and I am willing to admit that.

Maybe a solution would be to carry a few house bricks around in the back of the truck. Weight the blank down with the house bricks then you'll have no more problems! ;-)

I usually keep a piece of PVC pipe in the back of my truck. That shouldn't catch the wind and it will protect the blank.

Hi Scott
Get one of my Rod bags they have clips on them so you could secure the bag to the bed.

Which GUSA did you lose? I've got an Emerald SW70MH...I doubt that's what you need but you never know.

Billy, I lost a B78L for a light flats rod, but have built a SW70MH and really like that blank for snok under lights. How much would you be willing to part with it for??
