Tansui trout rod seems like a nice rod which I plan to use for softbait fishing for trout and sea fish. I was disappointed that a 2 piece 8 foot rod didn't come with a rod bag which I would have expected. Most rods end up rattling away in boat side pockets under the gunnels and they should be protected, hence the need for a rod bag. I will have to see what Mr aliexpress can supply to solve this situation.
