It is a price thing. Cardboard tubes the length for that rod are expensive. When I give a rod away I just eat the cost and buy heavy duty PVC and send it Priority Mail....or if I have just gotten a rod out of Japan I will use the heavy duty cardboard tube they sent it in and save some money. I know from talking with the guys at the post office Japanese card board tubes have a great reputation for their strength....LOL. I’ve scoured the internet looking for tubes that are cheap but as of yet have not found any. Someone on main forum suggested to go to a flooring store and ask for some of the tubes the carpet or vinyl come on.....haven’t tried that yet. I’m not sure Trout Magnet will keep selling the TSS rod since they teamed with B’n’M on the TCB rod.
