FAQs
Will this fit a 3-piece rod?
This protector is designed specifically for 2-piece fishing rods and may not offer the same security for 3-piece rods.
Can I wash the neoprene protectors?
Yes, you can hand wash them using mild soap and fresh water, then air dry.
Is it suitable for saltwater use?
Yes, the materials are resistant to saltwater, but you should rinse them with fresh water after every trip to prevent salt buildup.
Does it fit all handle types?
It is designed to be flexible and fits the vast majority of standard cork and EVA foam rod handles.
How do I use it as a shoulder strap?
Once the rod is secured with the tension strap, simply loop the tension strap over your shoulder for transport.
Troubleshooting
The protector slides off the rod
Tighten the elastic tension strap to increase pressure, or ensure the neoprene is pulled fully over the taper of the blank.
Elastic strap has lost tension
Check the adjustment buckle for debris and ensure the strap is not over-extended beyond the recommended 3.00m rod length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the protector, slide the tip protector onto the smallest section of your rod and the butt protector over the handle. Adjust the elastic strap by pulling the tensioner to ensure a snug fit between the two points. For care, simply rinse the neoprene covers with fresh water after fishing trips to remove salt or grit, and allow them to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid leaving the covers in direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the elasticity of the strap.
