Hi, will this Pro case hold Saltwater trolling rods ? They are 6' long and have big guides on the bottom - up to 3" high. I would like to be able to pack at least 3 Shimano Tallus rods in here. Has anyone used this case for heavy rods like these ?...

Length no problem but don't know if you will get three in the case unless large guides are off-set on each rod. You could easily fit two by simply flipping one over

Yes it would ,this is a very good case .I took out the inner plastic core , So now i can fit 3- 8 foot poles in it ! It"s a strong Cass , with an nice handed ! With the room on top i"m able to get my 3 bait casting reels in it also not on the poles ! I think you will like it like i do .

Id say not. I keep a two piece 7 foot rod in mine and just don't think it has the extra room. However, in guess it would depend on where the joint in your rod is. Mine is not exactly in the center so one piece is shorter than the other. Hope this helps.

No Kevin, the longest barrel the case will hold looks to be a 30 1/2" over &under -- and that would be tight. I'd be careful with a side by side barrelbecause it tends to be a bit bulkier because of the box lock.BTW the case has gotten relentless pounding since I first posted a few yearsago and it's still in fine shape.Regards,Win

I have two that I use for trolling in the Puget Sound for the last 2 years, I would call myself a serious angler and they have held up excellent. Take care of it and you should get long life from them.

Yes I have mine on a 10'6'' switch rod with 9wt holds lots of backing and works great landed an 18 lb. Steelhead caught last week on the Rogue River. Don, Southern Oregon.

This case is for rods only. When I use it for travel, I pack my reels in my carry-on luggage and check my rods.

I carry a longboard with a short board on top does great. The straps are awesome. The straps are long enough for more but I do not know how scary it would get at 80mph.

Well, I keep 6 reels in cases in the bottom with 2 rods in their tubes...(all my rods are 4-5 piece) and I keep a Tenkara rod there too. In the top I keep 4 rods in their tubes. This is a heavy case but I have access to everything I need in my truck.

The longest section is approximately 30" and the rod case is approximately 4"W X 3"D X 32"L. The case is stiff sided and has internal straps that hold the rod down. It is also equipped with a shoulder. I've traveled with it as a carry-on both domestically and internationally without a problem (even with two additional carry-on pieces). I paired it with an Okuma Avenger 30 series reel. It fits inside the case that comes with the rod and allows for easier travel.

The rods work but are a bit short particularly if you wanted to add a weight at the rear. The rods are standard 15mm and with a threaded splicer you could add rods or simply acquire longer rods to begin with. All that said I love this rig. Best 90 bucks I've spent on camera related gear. I'm going to extend mine for weight to add ballast. I've use a Redrock Micro at more than $600 and didn't get any more out of it. I recommend it.

this case will easily hold the three rods you listed, you might find it too big.

Any normal dreadnaught WONT go near it. Why they don't make this case in different sizes I don't know. Good luck

I live in Knoxville Tn and go to Ga, Fl, NC and SC to surf fish. I easily fit my 2 piece 10 and 12 ft rods in this. Hope this helps

I bought it all as a package with a Lowrance and had it installed at Bass Pro shops. Wish I could be more helpful, but the troller was worth the money. I use it on a pontoon and it wrestles that thing around like nothing. good luck!

This item is extremely sturdy and will hold any rods/reels that I've ever used, including deep-sea set ups. The rods hang on the rack in alternating directions, so there is plenty of room for reels. In fact, this is so solid that you wouldn't want to mount it on light-weight fiberglass -- I have mine hanging from the ceiling in my tackle room, screwed into the ceiling joists.

I bought this and it came with the case. I just measured it this morning and it fell short of 21 inches when folded. The reel disconnects if wanted. The case that came with it keeps traveling easy and the separable parts together. It is a decent rod for an angler that fishes occasionally. Appreciate the question.
