Protect Your Rod With a Fly Fishing Rod Case

One of the biggest investments you will make in fly fishing equipment is your rod. Many times people will have multiple rods. Consider pursing a fly fishing rod case to protect your valuable investment. Do not leave your rod in an unprotected place where it could get broken or lost or even worse.

Fly fishing rod cases can be simple and inexpensive but they offer the greater benefit of protecting your fly fishing rod.

Things To Look For In A Fly Fishing Rod Case

If you will be salt water fly fishing you will want to make sure that the fly fishing rod case that you purchase will be able to tolerate the salt. A lot of cases have rivets which are in place to drain water or zippers to keep the case closed. Salt water can cause erosion on both rivets and zippers and you will want to make sure that your fly fishing rod case was constructed to be durable enough to withstand the conditions it will be exposed to.

If you know you will be doing a lot of walking or that you will need to carry your fishing gear a long distance to get to your optimal fishing location pick gear that is lightweight and comfortable to carry. Select a fly fishing rod case that is light weight and has a comfortable carrying strap. Then when you get to your fishing spot you will not be exhausted from your hike and you have the energy to do something fun like tie fly fishing knots instead.

If you like to bring multiple rods along for your fishing excursions select a fly fishing rod case that can accommodate multiple rods.

You can purchase rod tubes that are great for attaching to your car for easy transportation of your fishing equipment. The tubes come in different sizes in order to accommodate a variety of rods.

For your home you can purchase a wall rack that will allow you to display your rods while at the same time keeping them safe. Similar models are available that sit on the floor and display your collection of rods just the same. Many of these rod display racks can be customized to a particular theme or with your name.

Do not forget to protect your reel either. Whether you purchase a case that can hold both the rod and reel or purchase individual cases to accommodate each it is important to keep both pieces protected to avoid damage to either.
