Hi all. Just wondering where some of you that build fly rods get your rod tubes if you use the cordura covered PVC style. I really like the kind from Clear Creek with the built-in divided liners for each rod section, so that a separate rod sock isn't required. Anybody have any other sources for these type of rod tubes that might be available in custom lengths, or at least in a good variety of lengths, made for different numbers of sections & in a variety of diameters? Thanks for any info!

St Croix makes a heck of a nice tube. All lengths. But they will have the St. Croix emblem on them.

I once bought one of these types of tubes (D.B. Dun) to use on a 4-piece travel rod. I was dissapointed to find that it did not have the divided liners like the standard length tubes. Furthermore, it was a few inches too long and I could not come up with a way to shorten it (only one length was available). Anyone have a solution to either of these two problems?

There is a Company called Bardole I think.. Well anyway this lady use to sell a lot of these cases on Flyshop.com, also a Company called Reddiware will do the same thing.. I have bought rod tubes from all companies mentioned and they are excellent rod tubes.. I know for a fact Bardole will custom buid cases for you, heck probalby all these companies will.. Thanks Dave

Tom: Have you tried stonecreekltd.com? They have cordura tube kits. John

I boought some from reddiware last year and they were very nice. I think they will even custom make lengths. The ones I bought came with a leaping trout design and they added the persons name at no additional charge. They are very good to deal with. I think they also do gun cases and other items.
