I am looking for a protective sleeve for my two-piece 9' surf rod. On the internet, I have only seen one manufacturer that has one that will hold this rod broken down for transport but the first eye on this rod is larger than the maximum diameter of the sleeve. Any of you guys know of a manufacturer that would have one that would fit a rod that has a diameter (includes rod shaft and the guide eye) of 3" ? Thanks.

Just as I thought, you ask for some suggestions, you get some good ones and then there is GARBOMAN. Your user name should be GARBAGEMAN or GARBLEDMAN. You sir are an idiot. We are not talking about shotguns but surf rods. Why don't you scratch up your gear. You should be banned from this site.
opcorn:My surf rods all have scratches on them from fishing, some from riding around in the back of beach truck on Hatteras.
They can ban me from any website I do not own. You should get with the Moderators or Owner, if you want. Best to reach the Owners in Canada, some of the other moderators are on the take.
I have some flyrods that have cases and nylon rod bags to keep them from getting broken in transit.
If I offended you, please feel free to look me up some time I get to make it back to Hatteras. I will be the guy with the scratchy old surf rods talking trash, perhaps we can have good day fishing, but if not no problem.
For an old guy you sure seem irritable.
You should get Superposed, they are nice if you can find one that is not all scratched up.

Hello, Oldguy !
I think that this might be a good option for you . . .

Tight lines !
Sit back have a Geritol Cocktal and breath slowly like the doctor told you Oldguy..
You evedenly do not know Gardb's humor as that are new here.
What type of traveling will you be doing..Air, Bus, Train, Drone, Space Shuttle, or personnel SUV......I'm sure you own much more expensive equipment that we poor ole fishing folks near the water..
We sure would not want thatn9 ft Ugly stick you bought from Wally World to get the least lil scratch on it..
So answer the question and we will give you some well deserved feedback..
Don't chew my ass too bad. When, and if you see me this weekend Drumdum... Just having a lil fun with "Oldguy" figured because of his advertised age he'd have a lil tougher skin is all.. his profile picture does have him( I presume it's him) wearing a space suit...or one of those fancy scuba suits that look like a space suit...
All my rods have scratches on them... I mean , BATTLE SCARS...
As far as " Cutting".....I can Cut you a hunk of Bait if you like... I should have a nice big piece of fresh Tuna Belly....
I'll work on the "Slack" part

Old Guy please accept an apology from the G-Man. I have a fair amount of Surf Equipment, The rods typically have issues with the guide inserts cracking and if they need to be refurbished l strip the guides, lightly sand down the blanks and wrap new Alconites and seal the thread with high quality expoxy. I have been building rods for my own use since I was in my teens. My Fenwick SurfSticks from the 1980's are on their 4th set of guides. I lived on the OBX for many years which I miss deeply, especially during Drum season.
On the OBX fishing for Drum, a lot of Sand Tiger sharks are bycatch. The Sand Tigers are called Garbos, short nickname for the Garbage Mouth shark due to all the excessive teeth this species evolved with. Trash talk if you can sense the correlation.
Spent so many years on the end of the piers that ones sense of humor perhaps got a little on the harsh side.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving

Let me clear up a few things for everyone. Oldguy is a nickname given to me by my Cub Scouts, no old age thing here. My fishing gear, like my dive gear and guns, is well used. To the comment about me having expensive gear unlike those who live near the water, I have lived in Norfolk, VA, Ft. Pierce, FL and Wilmington, NC and I do not purchase the high end rods/reels, just a little less than the best, enough to get the job done. To the comment about a Geritol cocktail, at my last commercial diver and USCG captain physical exam, my doctor said that he wished he was in the shape that I am in. When I travel in my 4X4, I do not care to listen to a cluster of fishing rods rattling against each other. I can visualize the damage to the rod eyes after hours of beating against each other so the question about the rod sleeves. Just a simple question. As Drumdum said, cut some slack. I'm thankful that my love of fishing hasn't caused me to become insensitive to other fishermen when they ask for some advice. suggestions or tips. I have been known to give away tackle and bait to someone standing next to me on the beach, boat or pier. Tight lines, everybody.
Happy Thanksgiving, sir !
In addition to the Jonesy rod sleeves, there is a company called "Rod Glove" . . .
You might also think about making your own sleeves . . .
Tight Lines !
