Rod box/case

[coombia21]

Now that I have been out fishing on the hard water. I have though to myself about all the rods that got broken in the last couple seasons and wonder what is the best way to eliminate that. I recently purchased a otter rod box and that thing is amazing. I would like to get the same thing for open water. Does anybody make one of these for open water? I do a lot of rod transport with out a boat, what is the best way to keep my rods protected and kind of tangle free when transporting them? I do use rod socks but I would like to be able to protect my rods and not have to remove the reels.

Ive been looking for a solution to that problem for 2 years. its looking more and more like I can upgrade to a boat with a large locker built in, or build my own gun case style rod holder. Which, would be really heavy for what it will be.

Wanting to leave the reels on, makes i tough unless you build something. I prefer to take my reels off, place them in my fishing bag. The rods go in a rod tube.The one i have extends out enough to handle 7 ft. rods.

I throw mine in a 5 gal bucket, and have been considering doing some kind of diy modification to add some kind of foam grabbers to keep them anchored and secured.

I built a 10' rod locker that holds 11 rods and also added an open storage for another 5 rods no longer than 7' in my boat this past spring.

When traveling with rods not in the boat...I be very careful!
