Just bought an Elliot Evolution 44″ Light fast and need a case to store it and my other high end rods. Anyone have experience with sneaking this in the eagle claw case? The Eagle Claw case says 44″ but I’m Curious on if you would able to sneak the 44″ rod in there. Let me know if any of you have done this, thanks.
Great choice. Have one as well on the way. Not sure on the eagle claw case, you could mod it by cutting a hole and epoxying a piece of pvc tube to give you a bit of extra length.
Not happening, unless that Elliot is a 2-piece rod!
Just measured an EC case for you, and the longest rod fitting in is 42 1/4”, and you may have to remove the reel to make that happen (depending upon where on the handle it’s mounted)
Two brothers makes a fantastic three rod case with strap that will hold I believe up to a 48 inch rod.
Use a fly rod case. You can get them dirt cheap. Rod suitcases take up so much room and some of the prices for these? Crazy
I’d skip the 2B rod case and buy the 42 medium instead.
Then buy a double fly rod case. I had and old one lying around and it works perfect for my 44 and 42 ice rods
Black widow (trophy angler) makes a hard sided case that will fit it
Think I might grab the eagle claw for my shorter TUCR rods cause fleet farm is running them for like 35 bucks on Black Friday and rig up a little pvc setup similar to the ones in the 2B case for the Elliot. Cant find a case to fit this thing for under 90$, crazy.
That IS crazy. Highway robbery…
Im in the same boat and just bought the 44inch light and now trying to figure out a hard case for it. Anybody converted a plano gun case to fit ice rods? Saw they make a 48 inch plano rifle hard case might be worth a try. I had otter case but that is no where near long enough to fit this rod.
Scheels ultimate rod case will hold up to 43-5/8”. So it is a little short for the Elliot. But it might not be. I would double check the rod length. 44” might be a nominal length. It is easy to make a PVC rod case. I used to use shot gun hard cases. You will have to break down the handle to fit your rod.
Lakewood makes a nice case, nylon outer and soft foam with hard plastic sides… I keep some of my “good” rods in one… it also has a spot for keeping tip ups…
I just measured my Eagle Claw. You can fit up to a 40″ rod. The 44″ measurement you saw was likely the exterior dimensions
Yea I can’t even fit my 40 green back in there 😕
That Elliot 44 light looks super nice! What types of lures you guys planning for these
Wow ten Elliotts!! Awesome!

Glad I’m not the only one with an insane Elliott collection.
What are you fav models in the collection?

I love them all. Incredibly balanced, the greenback and my 42 med are my two main walleye rods.

44 Lite is probably my favorite. Also love the noodle lite but I think the 42 noodle will soon replace that as a favorite.
Bought one of these for my longer rods. Should be able to fit a 44″.
Only drawback is reels likely need to be collapsed (I run pretty much all collapsible reels).

isn’t that 44 lite amazing for perch?
Man you all are going to cost me some money haha. Although right now i have a Greenback, 38 Black Reign and a Commander really in need of a better light model.

I hated my commander. Hated it. Just my opinion as I know tucr has a strong following on the page. Can’t hold a candle to the greenback.

42 med for a great all purpose rod. 44 med/light for a smaller fish rod.
I think the Commander is very light, and super sensitive, but it is definitely an xfast action. that is probably my only complaint. only 4-6 inches of a 38″ rod is used.
Quality is there for sure, might just be that i prefer a bit more flex for my style of fishing.

Exactly why I didn’t like it.

Have you tried the 45 medium extra fast? How does it compare to the 42 med fast?
