Was doing the same last year. Needed to upgrade my rod case and decide how I wanted to carry them on the ice. I have a few of the old Otter Sportsman cases that I really love. For storage they are perfect. These tend to get a little large when I hit the ice, so decided to start looking. Looked at the new Otter cases, Scheels cases, Lakewood, Ice Innovations, Vexan etc and ended up getting the 2B Gear Rod Case.
Trying to limit the number of rods that I take out onto the ice, and this should fit my needs. We only have a finite amount of room in the shacks. Will be my first winter with it, so will see.
