carmate rod tube

[David Lorenzato]

hey guys, just wondering if anyone can tell me are these available in australia and if so where can i get one
cheers david

[Andre van Wyk]

I believe Nomad has them David... at least they did on their site yesterday, not sure if they have stock, check with Claire.

Otherwise of course GTpopping SPonsors Duncan and Janelle at Fishhead would be the best port of call... I can't check the site for you, for some reason I cannot access the Fish Head website at all, so can't check if they have them...

Good luck.

David, Nomad has them on their website, can't find it on the Fish Head site, but give them a call as they don't have everything on their site!

[David Lorenzato]

cheers guys, sent email to nomad. thanks for the advice.

I'm sure Fishhead will do you a great deal if they have in stock. You also won't have to deal with $$$$ overseas shipping - trust me, its a killer!

[David Lorenzato]

already priced overseas shipping, its more then the price of the tube

I will be getting the nature boys case from Kil,s shop in US, haven't been able to find em locally. Shipping will be a killer but will be worth it in the long run

Rohit - have you actually seen a Nature Boys Case?
I have to say, I'm not a big fan

[Pelle Pop]

Rohit - take a look, it's not in red but it is a steady rod case

Hey Brandon,

Can you maybe expand on your reasons for not being a fan of the Nature Boys Case? I'm also possibly looking into one, so would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks
Andre

Hi Andre ,

I opted for Carmate over NatureBoy because it's lighter n can accomodate more rods , NatureBoy is heavier and more expensive but sturdier though in construction . I think there is a thread by Kil C Song about these two .

John, it is heavier but I am not at all convinced that it is sturdier. It might look it but its hinges and clips and straps just don't looks that great to me.
I have a friend with one and his looks quite sick these days

Hi Brandon ,

You are right there , those exposed hinges are not the best thing n I usually tape the hinges n anything that protrude from the tube , lost the locking mechanism of a Bazuka rod tube once during a flight to PNG , luckily all the rods inside were intact upon arrival in Lae .

Thanks guys, appreciate all your input...

Will look a little closer at the two.... Just had another look at Kil's post, it answers some questions as well.

Thanks guys
