Enough is enough. Last three seasons I lost 3 good (in my opinion) ice fishing rods due to my lack of imagination (and bad luck of course..). So, I decided to protect my stuff better. I'm looking for a good, affordable case which can hold up to 4 rods with reels - length +/- 80cm. Doesn't matter the source (Amazon, Ali, Temu, BassPro or Sail). The case have to be good and not expensive. Any suggestions? Any experience? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea if this will suit your need but I did mine super cheap.
I bought an arrow case at BPS cheap. I can get 4 of rods into it with the reel handles collapsed or removed.
I have been using it for close to 6/7 years with no issue.
I have done this as well and got the case quite cheap when it was on sale. I can't remember if some foam came in the arrow case but mine has two chunks of foam in it to hold the rods/reels in place (you can cut slits in the foam so you can slide the rods into the foam to hold them in place and not slosh around in the plastic case). I think I have had my case for 10-15 years now but it doesn't really go outside - used for off-season storage more than transportation protection.

Flambeau Rod Bunk Box - it's available from Sail, Cabelas, etc. Long enough to hold longer ice rods and you can also put two piece rods in it as well up to 6'6. Has enough room for rods with the reels attached. Watch for sales coming up, it goes on sale for $60-80.
