A 13/15' rod but I wouldn't know what would fit the bill. There are odd occasions where a 15' rod would be useful but I don't want to be carting another rod/tube around. The Garbolino Altima light match 13' suits me fine. If it could extend to 15' it would do, even if it wasn't the perfect 15'. Personal delivery not necessary...
Never heard of the rod - but I like Garbolino stuff. I'm interested in the tube, though.
I too hate carrying tubes. They convert flyweight rods into hefty lumps and bulging holdalls.
You can save weight and get more rods to the bank by getting some bigger tubes and fitting more rods in.
Standard tubes are about 6cm diameter. You can get them in 8cm. I can get one rod in a 6cm; up to three (if one is a tip rod with the fragile tip stored separately and you fit it in upside down soixante-neuf style to make room for the handles). Obviously, you slide them in and take them out all at once.
Carrying 2 or 3 tubes doubles or trebles the weight. The difference in surface area from 6cm to 8cm is only 35% so you get the room without the weight.
I can honestly say I've never damaged a rod in any way, but I have replaced the odd bulky rod bag with something that fills up less of the tube.
Does that not get some award for a nerdy reply to a post?
