does anyone make a single rod & reel sleeve to suit a 9ft 3 piece Harrison stalker?
Cotswold Aquarius used to make a double rod sleeve, ..a bit steep for my taste.

Cotswold used to make a single, double or triple rod sleeve.
There’s a couple of 2 rod versions on eBay.
I’m guessing you want it to have a shoulder strap? Nash do a single scope sleeve with D rings so a strap can be used.
Personally I’d take your rod with a reel attached and try it in the sleeves at a tackle shop because the reel pouch section is in different places depending on the handle length the manufacturer is accommodating.
I prefer a 2 rod sleeve, even with a single rod, because the spare section can be used for landing net, bank sticks etc.

You also have to be mindful that the Harrison’s pack size is about 92cm compared to 112cm for 9ft retractable’s. Therefore you’ll have some spare space at each end of a rod sleeve made for retractable’s.

Buzzard rods advertise one and century do one too for their cq range
I saw a 2 rod sleeve on Ebay, bit too much going on, like wearing bondage kit to a breakfast meeting..😀
The Cotswold web site seemed to be down last night for updates so couldn't see what they have.
Planning to use it as my 3rd rod for the margin rather than a self contained stalking kit..
Just hoping that there was a basic sleeve that I could put it in made up.
Whilst it's be a PITA breaking it down it's survived the last 20+ years remarkably well in its cotton bag and I don't really want to have it loose/open slung to my super specialist 2 rod.hard case.
Thinking about it realistically, 3pce 9ft rods aren't exactly en vogue ..a bit niche 20 years ago.
Push come to shove I suppose I could use a Drennan single sleeve and take the top section off but I've found a third rod clipped to the SS hard case ruins the balance and is just overhang on the barrow.

thanks for the pointers but not loking for a full 3 rod system.
The search has widened to spinning rod sleeves.. however 6ft rods have short handles and 8/9ft are two piece.

nope, too short at the handle end.

If you're lucky you might find one of the original YAC stalker bags. Pretty certain that was only one rod - maybe 2 but they were very compact.
Or get a 3 rod and carry all your tackle in it too

The YAC rod bag was a 2 rod bag made by Cotswold. I had one of the first made for 2 of the Harrison 9ft rods.
I’ve also had one of the Cotswold versions.
In the past I’ve stored one of the Harrison 9ft rods in one of the ESP QuickDraw rod sleeves. The reel (SS2600) did fit in the reel pouch but it does depend on the handle length on your build.

ESP Quickdraw 9ft sleeves is what I kept mine in.
