Well, it's what I need anyway. A high quality clear rod sock that doesn't get all nasty in hot conditions. I would love to pass through TSA without some 12 thumbed upright primate having to take my rods out of their cloth rodsock (putting it back in is actually the problem). How cool would it be if they could just slide the sock out of the case and SEE that is in fact a rod and not a REAAAAAAALY skinny improvised explosive device... Any entrepreneurs out there with a plastics connection?

Philster,

Seems like some industrial strength clear polyethylene tubing would do the trick. ULINE Shipping Supply Specialists, 1-800-958-5463 (or just Google 'em) has it in various mil thicknesses, widths and roll lengths (typically, enough to last a lifetime of trips) to fit any rod section. Of course, you'll need a separate length of tube for each rod section, but that seems easy to deal with - just tape 'em together.
