The Rod Sock

As a fisherman myself, I’ve often struggled with my expensive rods being unprotected while underway, in storage, or anywhere in between. Here we have another example of a product created to address a problem experienced by all fishermen. Rods are expensive and are getting more expensive every day. Being able to protect fishing rods, expensive or not, is something I’ve grown to appreciate. Our rod covers are made using soft cotton and are affixed with spring-loaded drawstrings in our product we call The Rod Sock.

The Rod Sock is available for rods up to 12 feet long for spinning or conventional rods. The Rod Sock can be used for freshwater or saltwater rods. Anyone who has snapped off the tip of the rod can appreciate an extra layer of protection. This product was conceived during a trip across the open ocean. Watching a rod tip banging against the bulkhead due to vibration and rough seas was not pleasant. This sock absorbs impact during travel and muffles that “tipping” against the glass in the bulkhead.

The same sock is wide enough to accommodate loops of spinning or conventional rods. It was not designed to cover reels unfortunately but it does cover “soft” areas of the rod. Areas like the tip are sensitive and subject to snapping so it is our hope this extra insurance helps prevent losing your rod tip. From what I hear, rods are never the same after replacing a tip so please buy some insurance in the form of our product.

The Rod Sock Usage and Care

This product is made with soft cotton and slides over the rod from tip to butt. It is affixed using a drawstring and can be quickly released. It is totally machine-washable so you can throw it in the washing machine when dirty. What we like most about this product is its simplicity. The Rod Sock is available in white and tan.
