A housing system related to the protective housing of a fishing rod and
reel, particularly, a fly-fishing rod and reel, during transport. The
system comprises a two-part housing adapted to separately
compartmentalize the fishing rod and attached fishing reel. A specialized
access slot allows easy installation into, and removal from, the housing.
The specialized access slot also functions to fixably suspend the fishing
reel in the housing interior, thus providing improved protection against
damage during transport. A method of manufacture and sale is also
disclosed.
