Cardboard tubes

[Davyred]

I'm selling my boat road on Ebay, and need a cardboard tube to be able to post it. Anyone any idea where I could get one?

What about a carpet shop Davey, they might be able to help mate.

Was gonna say the same, carpet ones might be a bit heavy for the postage unless they're a lot thinner than the ones i remember (not bought carpet for over a decade, all wooden and tiled floors in our house).

Could try asking at somewhere like a clothing factory that gets rolls of fabric or a printers - daft suggestion but even your local tackle shop, they might have some lying around.

Thanks lads, I'll have a rake about on the net as well.

I use a piece of heavy plastic drain pipe which you can buy from a builders merchant.

Good idea Sam, my dads a roofer so I'll go and scrounge some off him. Any idea what the postage is like for a rod?

Sorry Davy, can't help you on price of postage. It will probably be cheaper to send it by carrier.
By the way lads, has anyone got one of those forms that was left in tackle shops for anglers to fill in and send off. I think it was to English Nature, I would like to have a look at the questions that they are asking.
