    Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Betty, the end caps both have a foam pad in conjunction with a traditional rod sock as well as the case being custom cut to length based upon rod sections which collectively prevent potential damage to the rod thus it isn't lined. Baitwaister, I like the addition of brass end caps.
