Wind River Gear Rod-Reel Case - 4-Piece, 9'

Many of the rods that I have are four-piece and came with a tube to fit four pieces. Some of the rods that I have didn't come with a case at all! I find it most convenient to break a four-piece rod at the center ferrule, leaving the rod strung and the reel in place, and stow it in the car when driving from one fishing location to another on a stream, or between streams where I fish. I save time, and the rod is safely stored in this manner.

This case is advertised for a 4-piece rod and "expensive tackle". It is the correct length but there are no sleeve separations for the four rod pieces and the diameter of the case is too small therefore the rod pieces rub against one another in transit and when inserted and removed from the case. The reel case portion has a faux sheepskin lining but that doesn't help protect the rod pieces. I will return this product for a refund and don't recommend it for any but the least expensive rods.

Decent case, fits a 10wt rod (9ft) with fighting butt and 10wt mid arbor reel with reel case (neoprene) just fine. Would have loved it if it had dividers. Travels easy.
