DON'T BUY THE TITAN DELUXE ROD PROTECTOR!!!

What length do you need? The longer rods restrict your choice.

How long is the IMAX? Any chance it'll take rods with reels still on? I'm lazy and currently use a home-made job.

the bigger imax should take a couple of rods with reels attached fine, they are still more of a quiver bag and will not cover the whole length of your rod, they look the biz anyhow from the ones ive seen, well padded to protect your rods too
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!
