Looking for something comparable to the Patagonia Rod Roll

A few years ago, Patagucci discontinued their Black Hole rod roll. Are there any comparable products? I don't need anything heavy and super stiff like the Sage Ballistic. Just something that provides some additional protection (already have built in stiffness with the piece of luggage that this would go into). Also not looking to break the bank. I can always stick with my carry-all, but want to condense things into one piece of luggage rather than 2.

Oh, it needs be able to fit 32" sections easily. 34" would be nice, but not a requirement. Maybe I need to just make my own.... 🤷‍♂️

mucho thanks!

🍻

I have a Patagonia roll I would sell you, but it only fits 30" sections.

If you can make top ramen , you can make a rod case.

🤔 Any qualifiers, like "good top ramen"? or just add water and make it 'edible'?
 
I know you didn't ask, and I don't care, but I took the bigger one, cut it down and refinished the seams so it fit my 3 piece glass rods without a ton of excess. The large was to big and the small too small. I goldilocks'd that shit.

Soooo, you're offering it to me for free? :LOL: I'LL TAKE IT!!!!

Really the 32" internal specs is where I need to be (my Steffen 8' 8/9wt 3pc has got to go with me to these places, so that's really the only limiting factor).

This is thinking ahead to my Baja trips. I keep going back and forth:
current: carry-all w/ rods, reels, flies, some clothes; checked, smaller roller (clothes, flies, other fishing stuff) often checked (but could be carry-on in a pinch); backpack for actual carry-on.
future?: XL roller with rods, reels, cloths, everything inside; backpack for carry-on.

maybe I just need a better organizational strategy.... 🤷‍♂️ 🤔
 
I have medium size roll and fits perfectly on my bike handlebars.
This is the only Patagonia product I would never sell. If you get one, keep it.

"future?: XL roller with rods, reels, cloths, everything inside; backpack for carry-on."

This is the option I'm favoring now for international travel. Got to check the rods, reels, lines, flies these days or risk confiscation. One checked bag saves money if it is not considered oversized.
 
Emerald Water Anglers in West Seattle has some of the large Patagonia rod rolls listed on their website and had several in stock when I was there last.

Yeah, just checked earlier this afternoon, and looked like they were out. I haven't reached out to them though.
