Best Rod Case out there??

[hill7410]

I am getting rid of my rod case because every time i bring my rod out my lure gets caught on the fleece. I have heard of a case called JR's or something, also i looked at the stone legacy revolution but wanted to hear your guy's input.

JR's has a good bag. It's not a rigid bag but works well for protecting rods. I have one that I use.

The Stone Legacy revolution is a very good case and will provide your rods better protection.

I have a couple of Marcums new rod paks and they are very nice. The ice pack also has a spot to add your Marcum if you have one with a built in Golf bag style pop out stand.

I like my Stone Legacy bags.

Thorne Bros has a new bag as well this year which is really nice.

And since you mentioned you were snagging your hooks in your rod bag, you need to check out the Tackle Pouches made by Today's Tackle. They can be used as lure wraps which will keep you hooks out of the fabric in your rod bag.

I really like the hard sided cases as I tend to be somewhat rough with my gear. Otter Outdoors has a hard sided case that is tough and will hold 4 rods.

When I'm traveling across a lake pulling my portable and knowing that things may shift a little in the tub, I know my more expensive rods will not be broken incase of a bad bounce or from hitting a chunk of ice.

If things get moving around in the back of my pick up, my rods are safe.

Good topic!!!! I just broke my favorite Thorne Bros. rod this weekend because the tip got caught in another rod's reel. I cried. New policy: No more cheap, soft, fabric rod cases! Bad, bad idea.

I have one of the Thorne Bros bags. I believe they are made by JR's and are the same as the JR logoed ones. As far as non-hard sided cases go, they are great. They come with 4 removable rod sleeves to protect tips and guides. I would check them out. I'm happy with mine.

I have the Cabelas bag ,(the green and lack bag with the Cabelas letter on the outside), made by Croxton Pond.I also have 2 JR's Tackle bags, the Artic Ice Bag I, and the new Artic Ice Bag II, which I just got at the Ice Show.Artic Ice Bag I holds 4 rod combos, and Artic Ice Bag II holds up to 8 combos.Ice Bag II has better zippers than the first one,and more outside storage pockets.It also comes with 4 rod sleeves.Nice bag for $39.99.

My Revolution gets used more than any rod bag I have. Lots of storage and good protection for the rods. Never broke a rod in it and thats even when hauling it in my Otter at 50mph.

Get them while you can I dont think they are being made any more.

Hill, if you dont mind can I ask where you looked at the revolution bags at? that is the kind i am looking to get for a x-mas gift for friday and it is the only thing on his list.

Thanks

Joel

Ps... Im not even against buying a used one if someone is looking to part with one.

bulldoggie-

From what I understand, darn near everyone who ever carried Stone Legacy is out of the bags. From what I understand (now remember this is complete rumor/"what I've heard") the company was sold or bought out and the products became unavailable. In the last 2 weeks, their HSOforum has come back online selling products again. I would try there. Its easy to find- world wide web (Contact Us Please) stone legacy (Contact Us Please) com.

Will do thanks much.

I have a 2 compartment stone legacy case for my tip-ups, love it. For my ice rods, since my portable is larger, I pack em all into a plastic double gun case. The hooks never get caught in the foam. Think I picked it up at wallie in the off season for $3.
