I'm not sure were to put this request ,would anyone consider a sale,swap, or lend a airplane proof rod cases eg Bazuka or Kis about 72ins .I have a pair of Ron Thompso thermal boots size 9 ,Stalker 20 home base CB radio or perhaps a 400mm laser level with tripod in case. I hope I have not broken any forum rules with this post.

jg, Most airlines will let you use a rod tube but you will have to pay for sports equipment approx €25 each way. Beware of downpipes as a group of us who regularly travel by air found that they break easily,especially the way handlers throw them about. You can buy a Bazooka pro/kis or plano tube between €100/150. It is worth it in the end over the years we have only seen one broken rod tube and most of the downpipes/sewer pipes(stronger) have been broken.I have been using a bazooka every year for 11 years and no problems. Enjoy the break.

Thanks everyone . I phoned about 5 shops in Belfast none in stock,problem with the suppliers they say.In the end I ordered one with a firm in the states that I have used in the past you could check out there site it's Cabela's
A flambeau bazuka pro here would be about £69 there £43 even if I have to pay some duty it should still be cheaper I hope.

Remember I had trouble getting a rod case , well on the 7th of aug I ordered on line from Cabela's and it arrived on the 10th ,total cost £49 this included £7 inport tax and the icing on the cake . No extra cost to take rod case on the plane .The cherry on the cake was 3 new species black bream,red mullet,triggerfish.
