has anyone used 2" pvc to ship a casting rod? ive used 3" for spinning rods but never shipped a casting.

thanks

Yes, I have for casting rods, it works well, provided the reel seat fits (Fuji ECS did for me, not sure about other brands).

Just make sure to bubble wrap and protect before shipping!

Cool, thanks!

You can also savesome weight and shipping by using conduit or centarl vacum pipe if you can find it. It's plenty strong. The schedule 40 is a little overkill but sometimes all you can find.

One of my rods came in that lightweight conduit pipe. I just sent a rod out today...7 feet long with rod inside.....$8.40. Wow!! USPS too!

I just use the tackle warehouse shipping tubes. I also make sure to pack the rod tightly so that it doesn't move about inside the tube.

unfortunately i havnt bought anything from tackle warehouse in a while and have none of their tubes laying around.

ill try the 2" pvc. its cheap enough locally.

thanks guys.
