not wanting to pesuade you to not buy a new rod (heaven forbid) but have you checked that your rods dont fit in the MX5? Much to my surprise my 12ft rods fit in my wife's mark 1 MX5 with the roof up

Have a look at the Thinking Anglers rod bag for 4 peice rods-absolutely exellent for protection and can also be used as a quiver www.thinkinganglers.co.uk Regards Matt
View ArticleRe: opinions please JW Young Travel Barbel Rod
Matt thanks for the suggestion but the Youngs rod comes in a hard cordura case with a zip lid so it is excellently protected. Like the Thinking Anglers website tho a bit limited in products. Bill
