Plano Airliner Telescoping Rod Case – 47–88in, Holds 8 Rods, Hard-Sided, Black (458800)

Overview

Designed for anglers who travel with long gear, the Plano Airliner Telescoping Rod Case blends rugged protection with flexible sizing. The case extends from 47 inches to 88 inches thanks to its three-tier design, enabling you to carry up to eight 7-foot fishing rods when fully extended. When storage is a priority, it collapses to a compact 47 inches, making it easier to stow in a vehicle or airline overhead compartment.

This hard-sided shell is built to withstand the bumps and scrapes of travel. Inside, the generous interior diameter ensures you can arrange multiple rods with minimal friction, while the secure position locking device helps keep items from shifting during transit. A comfort molded handle is designed for a confident grip, even during busy days at the terminal or on the road.
