Anyone have a source for inexpensive aluminum tubing for making travel rod tubes? I want to cut a slot in the tubing so I can pass it beyond the reel stem on a spinning rod. I'll use short velcro straps over the cut slot to hold the tube in place.
I have developed a propensity for breaking rod tips (3 last year!). Another note: Hey MICHIGAN! See you at the April RoundUp. Harry T. Bell Re: Travel tubes

I don't think there is any inexpensive aluminum tubing. I use 160or 220lb pvc it is thin wall compared to schedule 40 and lightweight and easy to cut. Re: Travel tubes

Harry.... Chris Richer will be doing a presentation on building wood tubes at at the Round-Up....they are not hard to build and would be very easy to put a slot in. SEE YOU IN 12 DAYS!!!! ______________________________________ Super Tight Lines......Don Re: Travel tubes
