Our parent company develops consumer products for solving specific problems. In this store you will find products we have developed like our exquisite fishing rod cover we affectionately call The Rod Sock. The Rod Sock is a cloth rod cover with a pull tie for securing the rod. We use it while underway when sensitive rod tips contact bulkheads and potentially snap off.

Sports Fishing Rod Protection:
Fishing rods for sports fishing are expensive and getting more expensive every day. For this reason and because of accidents, protecting them is my number one priority. Nothing worse than snapping off the tip of your rod when you’re out on the water.
This sock is to be used to protect rods up to twelve (12) feet in length from scratches, flying debris, banging against other rods, or tapping against the bulkheads while underway especially when in rough seas. The sock will fit spinning, standup/conventional, or fly rods. The sock is made of soft cotton and is machine washable.
Rod tips are sensitive, flexible by design, and do not discriminate between being in transit or loaded up with fish. The purpose of this sock is to protect them while not being used. Fishing rods are never the same once a tip has been snapped off and replaced. While they will still catch fish, rod dynamics including sensitivity will be different. These covers are not 100% successful in protecting a rod but go a long way to insuring they survive an outing.
The rod sock is secured with an easy-pull drawstring on the butt. Once placed over the rod you squeeze the catch, pull the string, and secure it from coming off in high winds. The sock is machine washable just like your favorite fishing shirt so when it gets dirty you simply wash it.
We have made this product available in our online store for rods “Up To” 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 feet in length. The Rod Sock fits conventional or spinning rods with equal enthusiasm. Most of what you will find in our store can be used on any coast so take a look.
