Does anyone here happen to know of any good supplier of rod tubes in the UK, ideally I am looking for aluminum rod tubes which seem to be no problem sourcing in the US of A however they do seem to be a bit rare to source here in the UK. I agree there is nothing stopping from ordering up lengths of tube and cutting to size etc... however I would prefer to simply order a ready made tube with end pieces. So if you do happen to know of someone supplying/manufacturing these then if you could pass on their details that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pete

Rod Tubes

Unfortunately they are too busy at the moment and not able to produce any extra tubes beyond their own requirements, when I found that site earlier I was sure I'd found the answer to my search.

Thanks for the link though.

Would you mind sharing the information? I'm looking for the same

I got a aluminium tube for a 7ft 2 piece rod from W.M Salter and Grandson. Trade members on the forum. I think it's the only size they do in aluminium.

Pete,

I've got tubes in stock for all sizes from 6' to 8' Wm. Salter luxury rod tubes. Some are in short supply, but can do a few more in January.

cheers,

Andy

I would just like to thank everyone for their responses to this query. I have now managed to find a source for the tubes and should hopefully have them in a week or so.

I thoroughly recommend the Salter tubes, and Andy's service is second to none.
