Travel jigging rods

[shoefish]

What do you all do when you bring your jigging rods on a trip? Is there such a thing as a good spinning/jig rod that comes 2-piece? Checking rods is always so stressful for me...wondering if they're going to come out whole....or if they're going to come out at all

the shorter rods are fine
the longer OTI come in 2 pcs..perfect for travel

I've travelled with rods a number of times. I think Orvis makes a plastic expandable rod tube that works fairly well, but the best and cheapest solution I've found is a section of 4" PVC with an end cap glued to one end, and a screw in Cleanout port on the other end. you can put a hasp on it to make it lockable.

Wrap the rods with bubble wrap on both ends so they can't wobble in the case.

I prefer pelican cases (or the generic ones) for the reels.

what size rods are you taking
alot of guys are having to pay for oversize tubes
or there is a size limit
the popping rods are usually 7'6" or longer
