ROD CASES AND PROTECTORS

Fishing Rod Cases and Protectors for Fly Fishermen

Over the last few years, things have changed in the way that many freshwater fisherman want to carry their fishing tackle. Previously, they would carry their rods, reels and terminal tackle all broken down. When arriving at their fishing spot, they would take their rod out, put it together, attach the reel, run the line through the rod eyes then attach their terminal tackler. These days, they seem to prefer to leave everything set up, and carry everything to the bank all ready to go. So fishing rod cases have changed as well.

We have started with fly fishermen for a reason, as they are usually the guiltiest of carrying naked rods. Fly fishing is a traditional form of fishing with a long heritage. Back in the day, fly fishermen carried their rods naked because modern, lightweight materials were not available, and fly fishermen are very mobile. These days there is no excuse for not taking care of that expensive fly rod.

It is surprising how many people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on fishing tackle, and then not look after it properly. How many fishermen have you seen lugging naked rods to and from the bank/boat without any form of protection at all? A fishing rod is very powerful when playing a fish, but outside of that small window of usage, it is a very fragile thing. Always use some type of fishing rod case or carryall when moving your expensive rods.

The fly rod is a thing of beauty, an elegant instrument of perfection that glides through both air and water with the grace and poise of ballet dancer.

Such an eloquent and majestic instrument of nature deserves to be treated with the upmost respect, to be protected at all costs against the trials and tribulations of the world, both natural and otherwise.
