New Product We Could Have REALLY Used.

Introducing the Titan Rod Vault.

Not yet available in PA or NY but needed direly.

Smart looking in its classy aluminum and ABS.

The lockable reel case.

Accepts 3 fly rods, with reels attached, up to 10 feet long.

This looks like a winner.

I'd need 2 to accommodate the usual count of miscreants and hangers on.

Titan does however conveniently offer a "special" deal on the simultaneous purchase of 2 units.  The deal?
$790 for 2 versus the standard price of $395 for 1.  Shipping is $60 for both options plus a handling charge of $15

A little pricey, yes, but just what we've been looking for.

Suggestions:  A 4 rod model would be just right.
                     An extension for switch rods might be a hot option.

A little after hours action.  This one is a big mutha!
