Protecting Rods in Trunk

What do you guys use to keep your rods from getting banged up in the trunk? Looking for something for 2 piece spinning rods.

Bubble wrap

rod socks from tackle warehouse work great for me.
or bubble wrap

Bubble wrap...Great idea!

Thanks guys!

some good rod socks are worth it. just don't slam your rods in the door...

For my 2 piece rods, I use homemade rod tubes. They are cheap, and more importantly indestructible. I have accidentally slammed a few in the trunk door, and they are still in great shape.

Just go to your local Home Depot, buy a section of PVC that can fit your rod in it (2, maybe 3 inches if it has big guides), get 2 caps for each end, and you're all set! I bought 25 feet of PVC on clearance for $12, and with some caps for the ends, it was about $25 total. From this I made about 5 tubes, which work great.

A little spray paint, some stick-on decals, and they look pretty good too

Time to check out some rod socks or head to home depot. Thanks for the ideas guys!

I second the Home Depot thing... cheap PVC or cardboard tubes work great. one end of the PVC I use a screw on cap, the other end usualy glued on

I forgot to mention the screw on part. Good point. Otherwise you will have a hard time pulling the end cap off.

The screw on part will make life easier. Thanks for the help!
