Abstract
A fishing rod scabbard has a plurality of segments connected in an end-to-end manner to achieve a desired length from a wide variety of scabbard length possibilities. Each segment has a similar cross-sectional geometry and a bumper connector that enables end-to-end engagement between adjacent segments. A sleeved, tubular ramped passageway in longitudinal axial alignment with the tubular passageways of adjacent segments allows safe storage and transport of a fishing rod having a reel, bait, hook, and tackle on the pole. When not in use, the segments telescope together and nest within each other in a proximal end assembly between the proximal end and the distal end. Each bumper connector provides an assembly to secure adjacent segments together and to hold the segments in place when the scabbard is not in use.
