I am curious how many have bought a fly rod (except TFO) and told the dealer that you didn't want the tube or just left it behind because you didn't need it?

I need to befriend the guy who doesn't want his rod tubes......
never either
Can't understand why anybody would do that. I don't take them to the stream in the tubes, as I have a small travel case that holds multiple rods and reels and makes for a convenient means to transport whatever rods and reels I anticipate using on any given day. Even with that, there are many more that stay behind, and I keep them in the original tubes when they're not in the rotation.
Usually the tube is selling point (i.e., "what kind of a tube does this come with?"), but once in a while someone will come along and tell me they don't need the tube at all. I can generally talk them in to taking it anyway just in case.
If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.
