Fed Ex just left my driveway
They just left a 7'6" cardboard tube on my porch. It contained a backup CBR845.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Re: Fed Ex just left my driveway
The rod was only 7', and the cardboard was about a 1/2" thick. It is more sold than PVC.

Re: Fed Ex just left my driveway
Cardboard has a bounce affect PVC will break at a certain point or even crack
Re: Fed Ex just left my driveway
The only broken rod I ever got in the mail was in a cardboard tube...

I've bought, and sold over 300+ rods, and only problem I've ever had was with cardboard. PVC doesn't bend, thus doesn't break (not for me yet), but cardboard bends, and when it does, contents may very well get damaged.
Glad ya got it in one piece!
And it's probably because you did not us UPS!
Re: Fed Ex just left my driveway
Yeah, I have always shipped rod via PVC, but everyone has shipped them to me in cardboard. None broken... yet!

Re: Fed Ex just left my driveway
Ahhh there is hardly anything more exciting than seeing that package on your doorstep. Its like Christmas again, and again and again....
Re: Fed Ex just left my driveway
That rod is great for shallow to mid depth cranks. It has the power to throw a D-20, but an 847 is better for that. Today my 101 # Minn Kota arrives via fed ex!!!
