check out the rod bags/sleeves from midwater luggage they are as light as they come and quite robust.

There are two things to consider here gs weight is one thing and ease of carrying equally important if your doing a walk.

Personally I use a century rod bag, midwater rod sleeves/bags.

For weight saving i change shelters and tripods, the lightest shelter is the old beach buddy convertable and a parker rod rest is much lighter than a golds so summer months its easier to  save weight on other things and not scar your rods too badly.

Winter I go with all the heavy gear.
