Methods and apparatus for expanding a rod from a collapsed position to a formed position are disclosed. One such apparatus includes a plurality of segments for forming the body of the collapsible rod including with each segment coupled to each immediately adjacent segment of the plurality of segments. The apparatus may include a coupler for coupling each segment of the plurality of segments to each immediately adjacent segment of the plurality of segments. A lure case and fishing case are provided for convenient use. The case may be used with collapsible fishing rods and provides a protective case for them. The lure case provides means to separate and distinguish lures for different conditions.
