| I have actually mixed the 2....fly fishing and riding.....got a 5 pc rod, case length is 24 inches....there are some pack rods that are 7-9 piece with case length even shorter....fits great on the bike.....as long as you don't need to bring every piece of gear you own (only 1-2 boxes of flies and your vest or something.....) can easily ride to fishing, then fish, then ride home. |
