Centrepin protection

Hi,
Like most of us I like to keep my rods made up & ready to go. When I use fixed spool rods I use Nash reel on rod pouches in conjunction with tip protectors. This affords good protection to rod & reel, no problem.

Can anyone recommend a reel on rod pouch that fits a 41/4" 'pin that gives good protection for my Chris Lythe reel? I am guessing that the ones the fly fishermen use will be too small.

Thanks in anticipation,

Bob

or you could go for a standard padded reel case

Caimore pouches, cheap at £3.29 and last forever . The large sizes for salmon fly reels (9/10) fit even the largest of centre pins and will go over two and three piece rods acting as a rod band. Use them all the time.
 
Folks,
Thanks to all who replied, you certainly turned up a few that I hadn't picked up on my search.

I have now ordered a couple of neoprene ones similar to the Wychwood ones as highlighted by Steven. Since doing it I have seen the Caimore one that Pete recommended & I must say that I am tempted to get a couple of those. At that price it would be rude not to!
Thanks again,
Bob
 
the caimore/wichwood types are worth having a few spare (i've lost a few over the years) ,they also fit abu closed faced reel rather nicely ,you just need to slit the neropeane (sealing all edges with superglue) so the handle can pop out and they're perfect
