Travel Rod Tube Needed

Does anyone have a plastic travel Rod Tube that I could borrow for an upcoming Tarpon trip that I am going on?
Must be Airline rated (shipping it by Fed Ex) and able to handle up to a 7 ft + or - rod.
I would be fully responsible for it if it was damaged or lost in transit I would replace it for you.

4” PVC tube from Home Depot with 2 plastic caps works great. Tape the caps on. Prob cost about 20 bucks.

I like that idea alot!

I have an older rod tube(53" long,2.5" dia.) Caps are tight. You can have it,just pick it up in Bethel

Bless you Bob. I will keep you in mind.

Where you going now? Not back to PR are yah?

Just an FYI. If you go this route which is great, use a screw cap on one end of course but drill through the square part and somewhere else and run a wrie clip or lock....they can come loose. Also drill a little vent hole somewhere...the glued caps can blow off in the depressurized plane.....my friend got and empty Sage case with no bottom on it and no rod flying back form Alaska....they didn't stnd behind the issue.

I have one that you can borrow.

When I build rods and ship them I use this pipe from lowes - it's a thin-walled PVC to save on weight:

A pair of 1.75" black vinyl end caps and a drinking straw folded over the end of the pipe and under the cap to release the pressure as mentioned and you're in business. Tape the caps on but don't cover the end of the straw with the tape.

Won't work for spinning rods, too high a guide height, but for casting rods or fly rods it's great.

No but that place was fun.
Fishing for full grown kings this trip. I have a friend who bought a place in Cape Coral, Sanibel, Captiva, Boca Grande area.
He bought a 22' Robalo with a TM and Power Poles so just add fish!
