rod socks

[Chris20X2]

Shimano4Life hit it dead. I bought StickJackets for all of my rods a month or so back. When you have your rods plus your Dads other dozen in the rod box it makes it so much easier to remove them, plus it helps protect tips and guides in the rod tubes. Worth every penny.

Man......those look REALLY neat.......do they come off the rods pretty easily........looks like you might have to fight them a little.

Not at all. They are very simple and convenient. No fight at all to them - they slide right off and you dont have to mess with the elastic band, like on some other rod socks/sleeves. I had many bad experiences with getting hooks stuck in the elastic on some Bass Pro rod socks. Some of them I had to either cut the hook in half or cut the elastic completely off, rendering them useless.

The stick jackets have been one of my best purchases last year. I have an open rod box (no tubes), and I can lay 10 - 15 rods in there now with the stick jackets on, and they never tangle. You can't pull them off from the tip - you can actually hang them up by the ring on the tip, and the pressure keeps the rod in there. You just grab the bottom (closest to the reel) and they slide right off with one hand. I usually just pull the rod out of the box with one hand, and hold onto the bottom with the other, and they never leave my rod box - they go on just as easy. I get hooks in them on occasion, and all you have to do is push the ends together (to fatten it - or expand the strands, and the hook falls out).
