What to prepare when packaging a fishing rod?
Primary, you’ll need the usual packing materials like bubble wrap, polystyrene packing tape and a container that’s strong enough to hold such subtle contents. However, you only have a few options to choose from. The most common one is a purpose-made fishing tube or case and if you have these and decided to use, you’ll still need to pack it into a box for shipping because it should be protected as well to avoid dents or any damages. The only concern on using this is that it all gets a bit too large that is why we suggested the following instead.
Go to your nearest tackle shop and ask if they have any leftover tubes from rods they’ve had delivered to them and there’s a chance that you get it free of charge. If not attainable, sewer pipe or gutter down-pipe bought from a DIY store will be okay. Or you can use the tubes used inside rolls of carpet.
Cutting the makeshift tubes down to size, make sure to leave about two inches of space on either end. This makes the rod ends are further away from danger, and there’s plenty of space to add padding.
