As per title - Any good options for 11 foot rods? They are not well catered for as not a popular length (well I really like them but they are not mainstream to say the least!)
I'm thinking that adjustable sleeves are probably the only option. Any suggestions?

I bought an avid 12ft rod holdall. Far too tight for 12ft rods, but perfect for 11ft

I bought one of these for my 10ft spod rod, as i was having trouble fitting it in 10ft rod sleeves.....pile of sh8...... No padding watso ever, and wont even fit an ultegra 5500 reel in....
I would go for the adjustable Daiwa infinity ones...

I ended up with the Cotswold one and didn't really rate it. It was beautifully made but not actually that well designed. Its a shame they don't do one in 11ft because the Korda Compac is a far better designed bit of kit and half the price.
If I had 11fts now Id be half tempted to just put them in the 12ft Korda Compac, I like it that much.

I agree complete waste of time I bought two 11' baby ballistas off Jeffire, with limited options for a 2 rod holdall to fit them in I bought a couple of the Tacklebox sleeves, tight on length and on the butt ring which are either 30/35? on the butt section had Emblem BR25a reels on them and they would not fit, material was piss thin, I'd advise to look elsewhere.
