Plano Rod Case

We just received our Plano Airliner telescopic rod carrier for our impending trip to Central America. I easily packed in 3 80” rods and a cardboard tube of rolled up maritime charts. There was plenty of space for all with room to spare and the cushioning in both end cups was well appreciated. The weight was fine, the design very secure and the shell provides robust protection for the gear inside. The handle is well positioned for good balance and the clips provided work well - will easily fit a padlock if preferred. I would happily recommend this case and don’t have any design improvements to suggest. This is pretty much a military grade rig and very affordable. Will last a long time and many trips to Central America!

Very well made product. Traveled on airline with seven rods. The holder protected the rods well with no damage. Thick plastic with solid pins to adjust size. Fits 7 ft rods no problem. Would recommend. Very pleased

If you’re flying and have a sword that breaks down so you can remove the cross guard, this is an excellent and affordable alternative to a gun case. The tube seems like it will take a beating in terms of durability and I appreciate that the length is adjustable. I suspect it’ll work wonderfully for its intended use as well. Only downside I’m seeing so far is that it doesn’t come with a strap so you can sling it over your shoulder. If all goes well at the airport, I’ll leave this review as is.

I bought this with the plan to bring my surf rod with me when work sends me somewhere. So far I've traveled, by plane, from BWI (Maryland) to San Diego, Hawaii and back. It works as advertised, no issues with TSA. It's light weight, easy to use and can fit any rod. It adjusts on two separate rail systems that extend and retract. You lock it into place with two clips. Like I mentioned, I use it for a two-piece surf rod, but I've also used this for a recent move where I fit about 10 rods ranging from 7'3 to 5'6. I probably could have fit more, but I didn't want to risk my guides bending. I give four stars because it's a basic case. I'm happy with my purchase, but it's nothing to get excited over. 5 if it came with some internal padding and maybe more robust sliding system or rail.

Fits a bunch of poles! Great to take on airplane have used it many times. It looks a bit wanky but great quality all my rods have always been safe.

Any faults other reviewers find are nitpicking! This thing is a tank. It is well worth the money if you’re carrying anything that has value to you. I’m using to travel with kites and I feel confident that they will make it safely. I’m sure rods will stand up fine. Maybe a few rags taped around delicate parts to ease your mind but otherwise a building would have to fall on this carrier before it gave way. Any complaints about adjusting the length are ridiculous and petty. This is a five star product all day long.

I bought this rod case for a trip to Canada and it worked great. The rods are very easy to get in and out of it, it was easy to adjust, and it securely locks. Protected my rods on our 12 drive and 1 hour float plane ride.

Worked perfectly to take to the airport, just our flight got cancelled. Was quicker to drive to Florida. Fit perfectly in a suburban.
