I was in Wal-Mart today with my wife and found some neat material to make rod bags with. It's 100% cotton and the pattern name is "Great Outdoors." The supplier is Cranston Print Works Co., and the material is $3.97/yd. I made a bag for a 6'6" 2-piece rod and one for a 8"-0" 4-piece. Here's an overall shot and a couple of closeups. Note the one with the "Lady Fly Fisher" in the canoe for the ladies who may be making their own rod bags.

Yes, Mikey, that's your rod on the 2-piece bag. You're getting a bag from this material.
