    Default Rod tube question

    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?

    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.

    John, whose travel case are you using?
