Is anyone making their own rod tubes? I'm building fly rods and think a hard tube would be nice to have. I'm wanting to do something I little nice than PVC. Any ideas?

Hello Jeff.

Go into the "Photos" section and use the search function; "Rod Tubes" and look at Mark Crouse's stuff.

There is a good amount there.

I saw Mark Crouse demonstrate how he makes his rod tubes at the EXPO...it takes additional time in lieu of buying them but if you got some skill I would go that route.
Nothing like a custom rod with a custom rod tube...that 's what it is about !
