Pole casings?

Unread postby ACvault » Wed May 24, 2006 4:40 pm

Basically what I need is some type of packaging that I could use to cover my pole. I know you can buy those pole carrier capsules and bags, but I really just need one of the simple cardboard tubings thats poles come in when you order them. I already contacted several shipping businesses in my area(i.e. post office, fedex. Their packaging is only about 3 feet) Could anyone offer any suggestion to where I could get this, or any other suggestions like what you mights use to carry your pole in?

Are you trying to ship one pole, or have something to carry it around to meets in?

If you are shipping, I would go with a skinny PVC pipe.
