Hey does anyone know where I could get like 5 cheap rod gloves? Looking for 2 spinners and 3 baitcasters. All over 7 feet other then 1 baitcaster at 6'6".

Thanks,

J

BPS. Their bins at the end of every couple of rows have tons in them. 5 bucks a pop. I don't use them, but the old man does. I fiddle around with sewing (don't laugh...) and made my own. Actually cheaper than the BPS ones. The BPS do hold up. Had his for a couple of years.

What material do you use? Sewing a pair up wouldn't be that hard and I would think pretty d**n cheap.

The ones at BPS aren't that bad.  Picked some up to try and actually really impressed.  Def helps keep the tangles down when storing them.

Look up rodcondom.com. I've been pretty impressed so far.

They're only $5-7 bucks a pop at TW so now really sure how much cheaper you're going to get them anywhere else.

The cheapest ones made are the BPS brand.

IMHO, Rod Glove and Stick Jacket are made much better, especially how the tips are designed.

The tips on the BPS models are just fine. Don't jam your rods in your storage and they'll last. And I've currently using fleece. Mom had a roll she wasn't using so old man and I "liberated" it. Applied a waterproof outer like Columbia uses on their blood and guts pants, they're prefect.

Yeah, Rusty I know.

Like I said, IMHO The other 2 are made better.

And on that note, buy premade. Did the numbers and mine came out to roughly $10 a pop. They'll never scratch a rod, but it's not like my rods are over $100.

The one I have is a spinning and with the fat tip it won't fit in my rod locker (tubes).

Good to know. My little aluminum v-hull doesn't have a rod locker.

BPS ones work just fine. I prefer Rod Glove though.

The bps $5 ones are OK. I've had some of the ends peel apart, if you have a smaller guide tip it'll stab right through at times.

They are the great socks but the spinning ones at least have big molded ends that won't fit in a golf tube.

Other than that they are great!!!

Walmart just started carrying them where I live. I got a Casting and a Spinning and after looking at the Bass Pro and Walmart ones, they seem darn near identical, except the fact that the Walmart ones are $3.
