Virtually Indestructible Rod Tube - DIY 

The Air Canada Standard is a rigid proving ground for sure. Was that the one where the pilot was wearing cowboy boots?

David King: Thank you, but I'm sure your rod will thank you more!

James Brendel: Make sure you take them fishing afterward!

Christopher Ort: You got it! I've strapped them to handle bars, backpacks, boats, atv's, etc. A buddy of mine put a rifle sling on his!

yes this is what I'm doing with mine too. not sure what type of strap I'll use yet... suggestions are welcome. I'm thinking very lightweight

Thanks!

dante marasca: Gracias!

Richie McGlothlin: Yes, that would probably work but you would still have to make a cut on each side of the rib that's around the inside of the centre point of the coupling. Let me know if it works!

@coreyshortland2074: It is for the rod only. I always remove the reel when not in use.

Joe Boirier: At 2:08 I mention that I used 1/2" foam from an old camp mat that I likely purchased from a store that supplies camping stuff such as Canadian Tire, a surplus store, etc. The craft foam that I suggested as an alternative is available at craft stores (of course). As I say in the video, layer up thinner pieces to achieve the desired thickness. Any closed cell foam of about 1/2" (12mm) would work. Stay away from polystyrene (Styrofoam).
