10 Things to Look for When Buying a Fishing Rod Storage Tube

The importance of fishing rod storage

If you're an avid fisherman, you know that having the right gear can make all the difference when it comes to a successful day out on the water. One of the most important pieces of equipment is a fishing rod storage tube. A good storage tube will have organizational features that make it easy to find what you're looking for. This includes different compartments for each rod, as well as slots for nets, tackle boxes, and other gear.

 

10 things to look for when buying a fishing rod storage tube

When shopping for a fishing rod storage tube, here are 10 things to look for:

 

1. Size

 The first thing to consider is the size of the storage tube. How many fishing rods do you need to store? You'll want to make sure it's large enough to fit all of your fishing rods, as well as any other gear you need to bring with you.

 

2. Material

You'll want something that's durable and can withstand being out in the elements. It should be made from a weatherproof material so it won't rust or corrode. Fishing rod tubes are typically made from either plastic or aluminum but SKB has come out with a unique rod tube made from a high-density polyethylene shell, making it extremely durable for any conditions. You can see their up to 7'2" rod tube here.

 

3. Versatility

A good fishing rod storage tube should be versatile and able to accommodate different types of rods, such as spinning and casting rods.

 

4. Ease of Use

The tube should be easy to open and close, and it should have a comfortable grip so it's easy to carry around.

 

5. Organizational Features

A great storage tube will have organizational features that make it easy to find what you're looking for. This includes different compartments for each rod, as well as slots for nets, tackle boxes, and other gear.

 

6. Portability

Another thing to consider is portability. If you plan on hiking or camping with your gear, you'll want a storage tube that's easy to carry. Look for features like handles or wheels for added convenience.

 

7. Easy to Use

You don't want to waste time fumbling with a difficult-to-use storage tube. Look for one that's easy to open and close so you can quickly get to your gear.

 

8. Warranty

When it comes to fishing gear, it's important to have a warranty. Look for a storage tube that comes with a warranty in case of damage or defects. One of the best warranties on the market is with the SKB 7500S Fishing Rod Tube 7.2'. This rod tube comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty.

 

9. Reviews

Before making a purchase, it's always a good idea to read reviews. See what other anglers are saying about different storage tubes and make an informed decision.

 

10. Customer Service

If you have any questions or problems, you'll want to make sure the company has excellent customer service. This way, you can get the help you need and get back to doing what you love. Richmond Fishing Supply is notoriously known for quick, responsive customer service. You can always cast them an email at sayhello@richmondfishingsupply.com and they'll answer any rod storage questions.
