I have to fly to my fly fishing destination. And sometimes I am in a small jet with little bulkhead room.
A few years ago, I replaced all my 2 piece rods with either 5 piece rods or 4 piece rods. They fit nicely (at an angle) in my hard suitcase.

Last yr. I was lucky enough to buy a NOS Hardy Perfection glass rod. It is 3 pieces and measures 34" in the tube. Too long for my hard suitcase.

I hesitate to carry-on this new rod.

Anyone know of an inexpensive 34" hard case suitcase?

Thanks,

Byron
