ranger 361 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 GUYS, ANYONE EVER USE SCOTTS OR COLES OR PRO SHOP XPS ROD SLEEVES, WANT TO START PUTTING THEM ON MY RODS. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 I use Scotts. I buy them 4" longer than standard lengths. Very happy with his product. Quote
Super User webertime Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 I use Scotts as well with the dipped flat tip. I've had 2 split open at the tip. Not a big deal, a little super glue and it was fixed. Quote
BaitMonkey1984 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 The bas pro versions aren't bad at all. I even use them for Micro guide rods and they work fine for that application as well. I wish I got them earlier as they work great, I just always would rather spend $100 on something than rod socks for my go to set-ups. Quote

Blues19 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 90% of mine are Bass Pro ones. They are not bad. I have had a few smaller eyes pop out of them, so I put my better ones on the smaller guides. I actually just saw a few at Walmart for $3. I got one of the Spinning Reel ones so I didnt have to worry too much about smaller guides poking out. After looking at them side to side, they are nearly the same. The Walmart one may be an inch shorter, but that is the only difference I see other than the color. I will pick up another one, for baitcasters and see how it compares. The smaller guides on the BC may not work as well with the Walmart ones, we will see... They are only $3 so I am not super concerned. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 24, 2015 Global Moderator Posted February 24, 2015 I mainly use BPS but I have some from Academy also, not sure of the brand. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 24, 2015 Super User Posted February 24, 2015 I haven't used either of those, but I do use the Rod Gloves. Haven't had an issue with them or their reel covers. Quote
