Product Information
Full details
The Cult Tackle DPM Ring Protector - 50mm is an essential accessory for serious carp anglers who need to protect their expensive rod guides, particularly larger 50mm butt rings, during transportation. These protectors offer a secure, padded housing for the most vulnerable part of your fishing rod to prevent crushing or scratching, though they are specifically sized for 50mm rings and may be loose on rods with significantly smaller configurations.

FAQs
Can I use these on 40mm guides?
While they are designed for 50mm guides, they may fit 40mm guides, but they will likely have a loose fit and may require additional padding to remain secure.
Does the set of three include a carry bag?
No, the product is provided as a set of three protectors without a dedicated storage bag.
Is the material waterproof?
The outer DPM material is durable and water-resistant, protecting the guides from light rain and moisture during transport.
How do I clean the fleece lining?
Use a soft brush to remove dust or debris, or lightly dab with a damp cloth; avoid heavy soaking.
Will this scratch my rod blank?
No, the soft fleece lining is designed specifically to prevent any contact damage to both the guide inserts and the rod blank finish.
Troubleshooting
Protector slides off the rod during transit
Ensure the Velcro strap is pulled as tight as possible against the rod blank; if the issue persists, check that the Velcro is free of mud or debris.
Difficulty closing the protector around the guide
Ensure the rod guide is centered properly within the pouch before attempting to fasten the Velcro.
