Hi folks,
Does anyone have a source for affordable sdr 21 pvc? I can only find 1 1/4 in. I need 2 in for rod tubes, if I can get it.
Thanks, John

I just use the 2" Black ABS from Home Depot. Why the specific PVC?

The 2" black ABS is cheap, the fittings are cheap, and Home Depot carries a screw in plug that is flat, no big square lug that looks like a plumbing part. I buy rod tubes for most of the rods I make from Angler's Workshop. For the 5pc Matrix rods, I get a kit on Ebay and use the 2" black ABS for the core. Both are divided for the rod sections and need no rod socks.

Kevin,
Please explain "kit on ebay". I'm there frequently and have not seen a rod tube or bag kit.

I've bought SDR 26 in various sizes at wholesale plumbing supply companies that sell mostly to contractors, never at any of the big box stores like Lowes or Home Depot. I've never heard of or seen SDR 21 but 26 is a thin wall PVC pipe, much thinner and lighter in weight than sched 40. The only color I've seen it in is white.
might be this....

The person I bought mine from does not currently have any listed on Ebay. However, the place that they came from has several styles for sale.

They are a nice kit and work well for the odd sized rod as you can build them to fit.
I order most of my rod tubes from Angler's Workshop as I get them for less than these kits, but I keep a couple of the kits on hand for just in case I can't get the others or they are not the right size for the rod I am building.
