I recently got some 12'6" aviators and although I can get them in my current 12' 3 rod sleeve it's quite tight. Is the something out there better suited or do I have to go for a 13' holdall. Also need a single sleeve for the spod rod.

Thanks in advance

Mine are 12'9 and after trying many things I've ended up with separate TA sleeves and a quiver.

I have the Aviators 12ft 6 as well and I went with the Korda Compac separate padded sleeves. These were actually the only ones I could find that would hold the new 50mm Ti forged butt ring. However, the sleeves are a quality item, best padding I've seen and also have a nice lead pocket sewn in.

Give Cotswold Aquarius a ring. They will make you what you want, be it a full holdall or individual sleeves.

I have 12.6 free spirit hi s rods
I use the aqua 3 up 2 down holdall in 12 feet
It's the black series I think
About 4 inches extra on the length so the rods fit without being tight
Had the holdall 4 years and still in excellent condition
Would definitely recommend

Cult tackle do single sleeves for 12ft 6inch rods. They are cheap, really cheap but better than any other I have used.

Speero rod sleeves are what you want, fully adjustable and well padded
