Look......my beef is about not being given the option to " buy and use what's best for me" . I have 3 or 4 rods that came in these stupid sleeves. Was I given the option of having them in a plain old rod bag ? No. Will they even fit ? Not the compact ones....No. Can I buy a sleeve that doesn't come with a reel hump so it fits in my quiver ? No.
So......either I have to follow the fashion or be branded a bad angler because I don't . The hell with that....I am forced to carry the damned thing as well as a quiver because it won't fit or attach to anything. That is what I object too. The sleeves are great for storing rods when not in use at home but for me an absolute PITA as soon as I want to use that rod.
And I object to the suggestion that I'm in a minority of one because I'm clearly not. You can have every damned one of my ready rod sleeves with my compliments. I'll carry my rods in a bag/tube and tackle up fresh each time, thanks.
A pox on all rod sleeves.
I whole heartedly agree with yer Skip about rod sleeves giving the pox but I just can't stop PMSL after reading yer post
Certainly brought a smile
