Guide series makes a nice one that has a plastic tube sewn into it to protect the rods,I think cables makes a similar one,I use them and never had an issue.

I bought two used ones this year and that is the one I bought. I also like the fact that I can put tackle in the side pockets. It won't hold all of my tackle in the walleye/saugeye bag but that is my problem not the bags. I can get 3 or 4 rods in each one, panfish bag holds more. You are more than welcome to check mine if you see me on the ice.

I have the Clam Outdoors Rod Locker, a bit on the expensive side but I'm happy with it...

I have the Cabelas delux eight rod bag, cost about 30$ , love it and no problems with broken rods. The only time I have broke rods is when I flip the shanty open and closed, always pinch the rods between the poles and ...SNAP

I don't really use a case unless i go out on Erie where a quad or sled is used. I use golf club pipes from dicks and cut a notch for the reel handle and use a small bungi to keep it tight. Then just throw them in a bucket handle down. Looks like a few mortar launchers hanging out. Dicks sporting has them for $2 a tube. Just cut to size.

I just got the Rapala double barrel rod case & am very pleased with everything about it so far. Will hold up to 8 - 40" rods with reels attached, Very well built with solid PVC tube protection & robust vipers/straps - $35
