To vent or not to vent -- that is the question
#1My old Orvis rod tubes have a small vent hole in the middle of the crew on cap. The new rod tubes that I recently purchased do not have a vent hole. Which is better? Why or why not have a vent hole?

#2I know a fella in Joplin Missouri whose very nice rods would have been
ruined in a flood had it not been for sealed rod tubes. Home storage.
Both ways can make good sense for certain reasons.
Portable storage should be vented to breathe.

Obviously if the rod or sock is damp it should be dried. But if both are dry I don’t see the reason for letting them breath. Especially in high humidity climates
