Plano Guide Series Airliner Rod Tube 8rods 119–223.5cm 213.3cm

Plano Guide Series Airliner Rod Tube — Telescopic Protection for Flying Anglers

Your rods deserve better than rough baggage handling. The Plano Guide Series™ Airliner Rod Tube is built to keep up to eight rods safe on any flight, expanding telescopically to accommodate your full setup.

Telescopic Design That Adapts to Your Rods

The three-stage telescopic body extends from 119 cm to 223.5 cm, making it versatile enough to house a wide range of rod lengths. At its full extension, it holds rods up to 213.3 cm — ideal for longer spinning, surf, or travel rods that need secure containment rather than a compromise.

Built for Checked Luggage and Beyond

The robust construction is designed to withstand the realities of airport baggage handling, protecting your valuable rods from drops and rough treatment. A practical carry handle makes it easy to transport through terminals, parking lots, or on your way to the water. The compact collapsed length of 119 cm also keeps it manageable when not fully extended.
