How Do You Make a Fishing Rod Tube?

Making a fishing rod tube is a great way to store and protect your rods while not in use. It’s also a great way to travel with them without having to worry about them getting damaged in transit. To make your own fishing rod tube, you will need some basic supplies and tools.

You will need PVC pipe, end caps, duct tape or electrical tape, PVC glue, and a saw for cutting the pipe to length. You can buy all of these supplies at any hardware store or home improvement center. The length of your rod tube will depend on the type of rods you have and how many you want to fit in it.

Once you have all of your supplies, you can begin assembling the tube.

Start by measuring the length of pipe needed for your rods. Then cut the pipe with the saw so that it is slightly longer than the length needed for your rods. This will give you some room to secure the end caps.

Next, glue one end cap onto each end of the pipe using PVC glue. Make sure that you apply an even layer of glue around both sides of each end cap before pressing it into place on the pipe.

Once both end caps are in place, use either duct tape or electrical tape to secure them tightly against the pipe. This will ensure that they are firmly attached and won’t come off easily.

Finally, use a marker or paint pen to label each end cap with information about what type of rods are stored inside. You can also write down any other information that may be useful such as what size reels fit in each tube.

Conclusion:

Making a fishing rod tube is not only a great way to store and protect your rods but also an easy project that requires basic materials and tools such as PVC pipes, end caps, duct tape or electrical tape, PVC glue, and a saw for cutting. With these supplies and following these steps, anyone can create their own fishing rod tube!
