Another Phillipson to add to my collection. Hope to fish this rod sometime next week. Rod is in excellent condition and it doesnt appear the rod was used very much. Bruce

I almost bid on one like that just for the case. I haven't seen a Phillipson leather tube before. Enjoy them.

That tube is some sort of plastic coating over cardboard. They are a let down when you get it in your hands. The rod is the prize. A better rod tube is good practice, even if it is just a piece of PVC pipe.

Thanks guys. I did get to fish the rod with a 5wt a few weeks ago and I was happy with the results. Hope to take it out this week or next and try a 6wt.

Tom,
Your right about the case. Although in decent shape, I hope to find a better tube eventually.

Bruce
