Fishpond Dakota 45″ Rod & Reel Case – Granite
The Dakota Rod & Reel Case follows Fishing Trip Rule #742: every angler must have four rods on hand, even if just heading down the street for carp. Each rod must be paired with a reel and a spare spool, and essentials like a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, a bag of chips, and a chocolate chip cookie should be within reach—because it’s lunch time. How many cases do you really want to carry for all that?
