There's nothing worse than arriving at your local fishing spot only to find a broken tip or a scratched guide on your rod. Scuffs, scratches, and impact damage often happen during transport in the back of the car, ute, or boat. The STM Fishing Rod Bag is the simple, practical, and affordable solution to protect your rod during transport and storage.
A Note From Our Local Experts
"In my tackle shop in the Illawarra, we see the unfortunate results of unprotected rods all the time. Customers bring in rods with busted rod tips and guides for repair; often, the rods I see are scratched up. My recommendation when I see rods in poor condition like this is to recommend a protective solution like the STM Rod Bag. It is a straightforward recommendation I suggest for anyone who needs basic, yet reliable protection without the bulk of a hard case rod tube.
The STM Fishing Rod Bag is a no-fuss rod sleeve that does exactly what it's supposed to: keep your fishing rods better protected from common scuffs and scratches. It's a simple, must-have piece of gear for organising and protecting your rods at home or in the car." "

Why The STM Rod Bag is a Practical Choice
Pro-Tips for Your Rod Bag
- Protect During Transport: These bags shine when transporting multiple rods - they prevent guides from catching on the guides of other rods and reduce scratches from rod-to-rod contact.
- Dry Before Storing: Always make sure your rod is completely dry after a fishing session before storing it in the bag to prevent any moisture build-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many rods can I realistically fit in the STM Rod Bag?
It's designed for a snug fit. The two-piece bags have two compartments and are designed to hold one rod section each (i.e., one complete two-piece rod). The single-piece bag is designed to hold one rod. You may be able to fit a second, smaller rod in at a squeeze, but it's primarily for single-rod protection.
Is this rod bag padded?
No, this is an un-padded nylon sleeve. It's designed to provide excellent protection against common scuffs, scratches, and dust, but it is not built to withstand heavy impacts or crushing force. It's a simple, effective solution for general transport and storage.
Are the zippers corrosion-resistant for saltwater use?
This bag is perfect for saltwater environments because it doesn't have any zippers. It uses a simple and reliable tie-top closure that cannot corrode, rust, or jam up with salt and sand.
Is the bag comfortable to carry for a long walk?
The STM Rod Bag is designed as a protective sleeve for transport and storage and does not include a shoulder strap. It's perfect for keeping rods safe in a car or boat but you will have to carry the rods by hand.
Will my surf rod with a large stripping guide fit in the two-piece bag?
The two-piece bags have generous compartment widths (around 8-9cm). This is usually ample room for the guides on most surf and rock rods. However, we always recommend measuring the diameter of your largest guide to be certain it will fit comfortably.
