Ice-Pole Case

[P Gottshall]

I'd like to get a good case for my poles this year.  I got one that looks like an arrow-case ($20 & pretty nice) at Gander Mtn tonight, but it's too narrow for my 1000-series reels to fit without removing the handles, which I'll never do when it's cold on the ice. . .

I remember seeing a lot of talk about a "Croxton" bag last year, which I'd like to hear opinions on, & know which one to get.  Also, any other ideas would be appreciated!

Thx,
Paul

 Paul I have a croxton pond bag and it holds about 6 rods and reels plus jigs and line you know extras. I also have a frabil but can't get as many in it. I usually fish 24" to 28" rods when in a shack.
 I also found at Gander last year was a hard gun case. I put my long rods (48 to 54") in this with the reels and it protects them nicely.

Bet you get some apprehensive looks when you pull that out on the ice. 
I, too, am looking into a case this year, and am going to check out the above links right now.
I don't have a lot of rods, but they're nice ones, and I'm tired of them getting banged up.
