Dear Rocket, the cod..rod socks to which I refer, are usually 60
inches in length for a two piece 9'6" Gary Loomis IM6 Wt 5 flyrod,
with sewn pockets for the pieces. Of course a shorter rod would fit
nicely into a shorter sock and the true size of the rod may change.
The maximum length of the Shady parts is 47.995 inches (taking into
account the Fitzgerald contraction), So a rod sock of lesser
proportions would do handily.
A clever local seamstress could probably outfit you with one in your
choice of Scottish Plaid flannel to match whatever it is you might
like to match for a small fee or other consideration.
Or you could store the parts with the Bluesmobile tripod in the
Bluesmobile tripod "sock".
