I have never flown with big reels, after seeing Alan's little baggage damage and Darron's suggestions of using a hard case, I have been looking for a value hard case.
Today I was at Sams Club with my girls and we found this:

They even had a smaller version for $19.
I picked up one, not sure how many Okuma 20s I can fit in one but I am sure a couple will fit safely in the smaller one I bought.
What do you guys think?
I think if the latches & handle are sturdy Thats a good buy... Jeff
That looks like a nice case for a good price. Too bad I'm not a Sam's Club member. I think Sam's club is probably about 50 miles away from. If you do purchase it, please post your comments regarding it. Thank you
Looks like a knock off of the original hard sided case. Guess their patent expired :P. At a quarter of the original's price. If you give it a go, let us know what you think. I would use expect a failure at the hinges and clamps to occur. The rollers and extendable handle would be suspect also, but not catestrophic. Bill
Knock off or not. It is a good move to protect your gear. ;)
