If still in the market for a Bazuka I came across this while searching for something else.

Be careful of the Bazuka, as there are 2 diameters. The 4" holds up to 6 spinning rods, that is not dis-assembled. It will hold about 3 2 piece rods. The 6" version holds more. The Sports Direct is the 4" version I believe that there are also 2 lengths, but don't know if the length and diameter are tied together

The two best times to go fishing are when it's raining and when it's not

I've just returned from a trip to Thailand and Malaysia, where I travelled both long and short haul with three 'standard' rods, two landing net handles and a couple of banksticks.

I had to pay extra for sports gear on the short haul, but the long haul carried my tube as part of my overall luggage allowance (30kg). No problems on any flight and the gear all survived intact. The only issue was in taxis, where the driver was unsure about fitting the tube in his car, but it always worked by putting it in the passeneger seat and me and the wife sat in the back.

I used the cheaper version of 'bazuka' type from Pauls Angling Supplies in Worcestershire (Ken L-land). They have a website and sell on Ebay.

I think mine was about £45 for the shortest model. Still plenty long enough to take a three-piece 13' float rod without extending the tube.

I've always used a KISS case when transporting my Rods to Cuba and have never faced any problems; last time by using specialist travel rods and four piece fly rods I transported #9 and #8 weight flyrods, 20lb and 50lb travel boat rods, 2 x 8' travel spinnning rods, 2 x 6' travel LRF rods, and a Greys Popper Rod.

I am off to the USA this spring but dont intend to take the case but use one of these and take just a travel float and a travel Carp rod with me to teach my hosts a bit of english style fishing.

After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.
