The original rod bag and tube are stunning. The bag is made of a satin-like material in a plum color with a black faux suede lining and a paisley piping around the edge. The tube is a heavy octagonal aluminum with a hammer-tone finish also in a plum color. The cap is quite handsome with knurled edges and a brass Tom Morgan Rodsmiths medallion set in the top. The tube is housed in a heavy black cotton cover with an adjustable drawstring and paisley piping at the bottom to match the rod bag.
