Flambeau Outdoors 6990BC Bazuka, 63"-87" Portable Fishing Rod Storage Holder, Black

This very sturdy rod carrier will get your rods anywhere in the world safely. It will have to go through the oversized counter at the airport and get a lot of puzzled looks from other travellers who wonder why you're packing a bazooka around. It is well made and virtually indestructible. It can expand in length to accomodate most saltwater and freshwater rods. I had 4 salmon rods in it recently.

We used this on a trip down to Baja and it worked out great! I was able to load 10 rods in this thing. The longest being 8'6 (this is probably the longest I'd try to stretch it). We used ratchet compression straps to strap it to the top of a Rav4 and it worked perfectly. Granted, the compression straps cause the case to have little 'indents' where the pressure was... I was scared these would be permanent indentations but after a few hours it was back to normal again. And this was driving through 85+ degree weather in Baja! So the case appears to be pretty durable. I'm glad I picked it up. I plan to store a majority of my rods in it during the off season in my garage. It'll help save on space as well :) Great product! Note: if you're strapping this down, watch out for the handles. I would highly recommend securing this thing by the main body and not by the handles - we noticed they were starting to warp due to pressure... they have the potential to bust. Also, there's a little hole to secure the latch door with a lock. If you're strapping this down to the roof of a car or checking it in on a plane, I'd advise getting a small lock so that the latch won't easily open. If for an airplane, make sure it's a TSA approved lock.

well built product, very adjustable, has provision for travel lock, well designed, durable, lightweight, no complaints. One tip, if you are packing a large number of rods, best to pre-nest them then slide the bundle in so the guides do not interfere with each other going in one at a time.

Worked great for our trip to FL.

If you're considering building something like this out of PVC, just don't. It won't be cheaper. Trust me I know. This carried 4 fishing rods safely thru 4 different airports/airlines and not as big and obnoxious looking as the plano one.

This is really well made and has been great on airplanes. We actually bought this for lacrosse sticks.

I liked it was sturdy with an adjustable length and TSA approved. We bought it for a 70-year-old handmade wood fishing pole made by the grandfather of a family member visiting from Japan. She was taking it home and we needed a case to fit it as it was a long pole even broken down. It protected the pole during the trip and worked as advertised. A good buy.

The Flambeau Outdoors Bazuka Pro Road Case is just what I wanted to safely transport my fishing rods in the bed of my truck. The case is very sturdy with a hinged door for easy access to load and unload my two rods with their reels attached. Might even accomodate a third one. Of course, it will hold more rods without the reels. The Bazuka Rod Case is heavy, although, not unmanageable thanks to its handle. It's great for transport in my truck but I find its length too cumbersome to carry along with everything else to my fishing site and too big for taking on a 16' fishing boat with others on board. Especially since it would come down to making a choice between the cooler or the rod case. That's a no brainer. The cooler wins everytime! ~ The Boss
