The other afternoon, I was sitting in my den contemplating the wall of aluminum tubes stacked up in one corner of the room. The tubes, as you may have guessed, are rod cases. Somewhere behind the wall is a rod rack designed to neatly hold rod tubes.

The rack holds maybe a dozen tubes and some time shortly after I got the rack, my collection of rods out grew it. Today, the rack is buried and lost from view. I have never bothered to count how many rods I have and have no real desire to do so. Let’s just say I have a few fly rods.
