Cardboard rod tubes

[BAZACODBASHA]

Can anyone advise me where I can buy an 8' cardboard tube that would be suitable for posting a fishing rod in.
Cheers

Hello,
you can get them from carpet shops/warehouses. You'll have to cut it to length and tape up the ends.
Hope this helps.

only problem is they are heavy and will bump up the price of the carriage

try popping in to your local tackle shop, thats how they get their rods delivered
