Just recently a buddy of mine was planning a fishing trip to Mexico and was in the market for some new fishing rod cases. Well, he was hoping I would point him in the right direction and of course I duly obliged. On one condition though, he give me a full low down on how his new gear handled their first road trip.

Flambeau Bazuka Pro Rod case was one of my recommendations and by all accounts it preformed very well. Rob was able to load 9 rods in to the case stretching it out to 8′7. “The case traveled great strapped down in the bed of their truck. If your going to be strapping this down its best you secure it across the body and steer clear of the handles. It looks like they have the potential to break under heavy strapping.

The sturdy hinged door provides easy access for loading and unloading rods with their reels attached. It will easily hold quite a few rods if you intend on leaving the reels off. Although it is quite a heavy case it was pretty easy to handle and maneuver. That being said it will take up quite a bit of room on smaller boats. I’d also suggest you get a small lock to secure the latch door, just to be sure, you wouldn’t want it opening while your travelling down the highway.

I’m glad I choose this piece gear, it will be perfect for storing rods in the garage during the off season. Its tough, it looks great and its a great space saving product.”
