EnotsMedia Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Any suggestions on a case to hold a 63” Ambient carbon boom pole (collapsed length)? Not into the PVC DIY thing, and the Usual Suspects dont seem to have anything to hold a pole that size. It doesn't have to be a hard case for air travel. This is close...and a top contender. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D2WIJVA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_DOuUBb3T5W8M0 I’ve used a smaller version of this one for years and it’s great...but not sure i want the unnecessary extra length. Right now it’s lives in a DIY cardboard tube (Painted black and a little Gaff for strength ), clearly disrespectful for a pole of its stature. Just curious what anyone else is doing?

Rick Reineke Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I got a White River fly rod case from Bass Pro Shops for my KEG-100CCR, the case is about 28" inside. A nice case and perfect fit for my KEG-100 . They have longer cases as well .. don't know if anyone makes an off-the-shelf fly rod case any where near 63" though They Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonG Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I used the boom tubes in the past, and when checked with luggage and other production cases, I found them not to be particularly good at protecting your poles. The DIY PVC tubes are much better for that. In my case, the other production cases wedged my boom tube while being shuffled around and actually ripped off the latch and the top became completely disconnected. The boom slid partially out and was snapped in half by other pelican cases, only staying attached by the internal coiled cable. By some miracle the boom stayed inside the open tube all the way to when it was retrieved. Luckily it was a K Tek and they took care of me (and production upgraded my pole without knowing it too Now I use a soft case by Gator that holds two poles because you never know. I just carry it on and give the airlines a hard time if they don’t like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my 16’ and 14’ Loon poles in there. They both have wings at the bottom, but you could probably fit three wingless poles inside. I like the idea of having one case for more than one pole. I used to bring two or three booms on jobs and having each in their own case was very cumbersome. This case even has pockets and pouches, and I can fit a denecke TS3 sized slate, and a number of other items in the front pouch as well. Really handy for being mobile.
