As soon as I put this rod tube into my hands I was shocked by how sturdy and light it actually is. I have complete confidence in taking this tube out backpacking and just using as my regular rod tube as well, thanks to the ease of use with the pop top of the tube. It has been a great asset in backpacking trips out to the backcountry when I want to fly-fish as it cuts down on size and weight from a traditional rod tube.

These rod tubes are great! I was surprised by how rigid the tubes are, given their light weight. I also immediately noticed the amount of perfect blank space for fly fishing stickers! I like how small in diameter they are, which I think will fit on my pack much better than the factory rod tube. I will have an opportunity to put these to the true test this summer with many trips to the high country as well as an international trip.

Extremely lightweight and durable! Very impressed with this tube. It’s always great to support a small business that’s making a product right here in the US, and when the quality and price is this good, it’s an easy decision!

I bought my rod tube just before everything started to go into lockdown, so it has taken me a while to get out and test it actually backpacking. I’ve finally got an overnighter with it under my belt, and it works great! It fits in the side water bottle pocket of my pack along with a Nalgene bottle, it’s very light, and it feels like it could take some significant abuse. I also use it in my kayak while I’m just paddling, and it works well for that too. I’m very happy I bought this tube instead of a florescent tube protector!!

This is exactly the backpacking solution I’ve been looking for! I’ve been using Velcro straps to fasten my fly rod to my pack — it worked great, but provided absolutely no protection. I ordered the 7′ & 9′ tubes. The tubes are light, bright and tough! The 7′ tube weighs 9oz with my rod in it. That’s 6.9 ounces lighter than the original tube by itself!! I am very pleased with this product, there’s nothing else like it on the market. Believe me, I’ve looked. Even tried a DIY tube.
