WTB CARDBOARD ROD TUBES

[SIontheHunt]

Hello fellow roksliders. I am looking for someone with a stash of carboard rod tubes they are willing to sell. I need to ship some rods and they are hard to get ahold of for a decent price. I am in the Charlotte NC area if anyone has some. Thanks

I have used PVC pipe. The thin wall stuff for central vacuum can be especially cheap.

Plastic gutter downspout is cheap and effective. Plug the ends with a small bit of 2x4 trimmed to shape and screwed/taped in place

Whenever I have needed a cardboard tube to ship a rod or gun barrel in, I just check in with my local tackle shops. They usually have a stash of them as they are getting rods shipped in all the time, free for the taking as they usually cut them up and put in the cardboard dumpster.

I've used the tubes before, but when I didn't have any I've also used the USPS Priority pre-cut triangle boxes that you fold together and can make them whatever length you need. They're free.

Lots of guys are using pvc now as stated above. Do a Google search and you'll find some info on it.

PVC is all I and friends use now. Postal carriers are too careless when it comes to cardboard. When I have rods shipped in from Japan I pay extra for them to use PVC.

thanks for all the tips. PVC has gotten pricey but ill look into the triangle boxes. I did find online that the center roll from carper rolls is beefy so I am looking into sourcing that.
