Rainbowhunter Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 hi all i have recently purchased a sage flight 4wt 4pc fly rod and when i purchased the rod the clerk mentioned that it comes with a rod case with a reel attachment built onto it. When i heard of this i wondered to myself why do i need that when i already have a two rod case with reel attachments on them. Anyways to my quasion. where can you order or purchase nice metal or aluminum rod tubes. Thankx alot Matt Quote
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Fish tales has them in the back by the reels or you could make your own out of PVC toobs and end caps Quote
ÜberFly Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 All (new) Sage rods come with a standard tube! The one with an attached reel pouch is purchased separately (they sell them in different lengths, so make sure you know is your buying one for a 4 piece, 3 piece and what length for the specific rod)! If you have one for a another rod already, if it fits, you're golden, unless you are bringing a quiver with you then you need one for each rod... In that case, as I do (as many others), I have a double rod tube to bring 2 loaded rods with me, ready to go!! Cheers, P P.S. Most fly shops and other fishing retailers will have them... hi all i have recently purchased a sage flight 4wt 4pc fly rod and when i purchased the rod the clerk mentioned that it comes with a rod case with a reel attachment built onto it.

KnotLikely Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 All (new) Sage rods come with a standard tube! The one with an attached reel pouch is purchased separately Unfortunately, the Sage Flights do come with the reel pouch and not a standard tube. Like 420 says, PVC pipe, glue and a couple of screw on end caps and you have a strong, cheap tube. Quote
ÜberFly Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I stand corrected... Though why did that particular rod not come with one then?!

ÜberFly Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Trade, ya?! P Not sure, wish they'd change to a standard tube. Quote
Rainbowhunter Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Trade, ya?! P you want to trade your tube for the case that myne is coming with. Quote
ÜberFly Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 If he is interested in a regular Sage tube, and I'm interested in a Sage tube with reel pouch, then why not?! P you want to trade your tube for the case that myne is coming with. Quote
Rainbowhunter Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 If he is interested in a regular Sage tube, and I'm interested in a Sage tube with reel pouch, then why not?! P is it possible for you to send me pics of the tube Quote
