1. A device for protecting a fishing rod which comprises: a) a hollow telescopic tube having a closed top end and an open bottom end, wherein said hollow telescopic tube fits over and provides protection to the fishing rod;b) means for securing said hollow telescopic tube at said open bottom end to the fishing rod;wherein said hollow telescopic tube comprises a plurality of overlapping concentric tubular sections of different diameters;wherein an uppermost tubular section of said plurality of overlapping concentric tubular sections having a smallest diameter defining said closed top end of said hollow telescopic tube, thereby allowing said hollow telescopic tube to be extensible for use and compressible for storage;wherein other tubular sections of said plurality of overlapping concentric tubular sections each having a radially outwardly extending flange about an open bottom end and a radially inwardly extending flange about an open top end;wherein said securing means comprises a belt having a first portion comprising an elongated member with a plurality of holes extending transversely therethrough and affixed to one side of said open bottom end of one of said other tubular sections of said plurality of overlapping concentric tubular sections having a largest diameter which defines said open bottom end of said hollow telescopic tube and a second portion comprising a conventional buckling device having a frame and a prong, affixed to an other opposing side of said open bottom end of said one of said other tubular sections of said plurality of overlapping concentric tubular sections having the largest diameter; andwherein said prong of said conventional buckling device is pivotally attached to said frame of said conventional buckling device at one end of said prong and an opposing free end of said prong extends within a perimeter of said frame of said conventional buckling device.
