Rod tubes (aluminum or bamboo)

Post by The Doc »

Hi there,

Does anyone of you know, where I could order some nice and affordable aluminum or bamboo rod tubes (custom-made)? (Those made by REC Components are a bit to conventional for my taste.)

Greetings,

Gershom (The Doc)

Assuming they haven't changed, I've been partial to the aluminum tubes from GoldenWitch. Heavier tubing, heavier components for the cap and base. The rod sacks are also very nice.

Granted not much of a selection (basically 2 choices of diameter and 2 choices of cap) but if you like what you see, they are worth it (at least to me, I feel I'm getting a lot of value for my money).
