The $75 is well worth it to me. Especially with the price of some of the ice rods we use these days. In my opinion there is no better rod case out there for protecting rods on them long trips towing your gear behind a wheeler or sled.

Yes its big and bulky but it will protect your valuable rods like no other case I have used.

I can get 4 rods in one. 3 bigger laker rods.

I also like my Stone Legacy Revolution bags. 4 rod storage and room for tackle.

The poster asked for the best rod case out there. That is why I suggested the Otter case. No, its not cheap but I can put my expensive rods in it, bounce across the lake pulling my portable and if something falls hard inside the portable, no worris about my rods.

Take a look at the rod case and you my be impressed. I have not seen a safer rod case on the market today. I have others but my very good rods get to ly in the Otter.

Gander has a sharp looking break down shotgun case that will pull double duty as a custom use ice rod case. It is an airplane rated impact resistant metal framed case, and built to take abuse.

400365_M1.jpg

Interiour dimensions: 31-1/4x12-3/4x1-5/8

Exterior dimensions: 31-7/8x13-3/8x4-5/8

(In the diagonal you can fit up to a 32" rod in and stack shorter rods or rod combo's parallel to it, also progressively in the diagonal.)

Egg crate lines and fully padded it has ample room to store at least 6 combo's with reels attached. Four metal clasps secure the case, very sturdy and sharp looking unit. They now run $79....at one time they were $99.

75 dollars is not over priced. I made my own hard sided rod cases about 6 years ago because there were none to buy. By the time you buy the hinges, snaps, and the foam they were not cheap. But I have not broke a rod yet in them. Rick

I have the otter case, and I would rate it as the best I have seen to date. At a price of $75, if the four rods you put in it don't add up to $75 then I would say it is not worth the money. On the other hand some guys may have $300 for the four rods stored in it not including the price of the reels. In that case I would like to have as much protection as I could for them. It does take up some room, but it is light and strong.

It's pretty hard to beat a hard case for protection. Another option might be the Lakewood ice pole caddie, it's a 36" long soft-sided hard case. I've carried 8 poles in it a few times. I have an older model that doesn't have the foam liner and use golf bag tubes to keep rods separate. I'd guess you couldn't get 8 in the new foam lined one unless you modified it.

Picked up another YAD rod today on the big E site. Now im deffinatly gonna want a case for my rods. All of these are great suggestions and im gonna have to find something quick. I personally like the idea of a soft case with pvc inserts for the tips.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
