Just my .02 cents here, but the question revolves around transporting your rod(s) while moving down streem on your pont. boat.

This is a tad strandge trying to type this with an anti vir. running. You only see the screen 'every so often,' so this could be pretty messed up.

Brian, as usual, is 'spot on,' don't worry about it. Only time it gets interesting is if the rod is a three section rod; if 4, break into two sections and it/the rod will be fine.
