Rod tubes for short multi-piece fly rods.

I built a 5-piece 7-foot fly rod. The sections are only 17” long. I’ve been so far unsuccessful in finding tube that is not way too big for the rod. Any suggestions?

2 companies come to mind:
REC in CT, they have been around for ages.
Mike McFarland bought Landmark when Ron retired, and is just now getting this new part of his business up and running. Mike is in PA.

Both offer custom sizes and various options.

Also check out Clear Creek Fishing Gear. They custom build to whatever size you need.

Angler's Workshop used to custom cut tubes for me while I waited.

Pick up a 20 inch piece of thin wall pvc pipe of the correct size, put a cap on each end and be happy.

Best wishes.
