Rod cover advice

[Mumbly]

I am at the tail end of my time here in the US before heading back to Canada. The one thing that I have forgotten to buy which was on my list were some rod covers. I had wanted to try some TRC covers but I am only here for another week and ordering anything online won't get to me before I leave.

 

This leaves me with the only option of buying something from a retail store. Are the Rod Glove covers my best option? I see that Academy is selling them for $4.99. I have read that most don't like the BPS ones and the ones that I saw on Cabela's website are $8.99 but not sure if they are better.

 

Any advice and or other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I use The Rod Glove ones and they have done an excellent job for me every time that I go out.  Don't forget to pick up some lure wraps too.

I buy all mine at Academy.

I lime them, but they can really catch the wind.

 

My buddy lost an expensive rod down the highway that was run over by a couple cars

Where in canada are you from? 

 

You can get Rod Gloves here for about the same price once you factor in the exchange.  I have the mesh type and the neoprene type. Both have their merits.

 

Send me a PM and I can help with your selection

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info. I will be stopping at Academy.

Don't have a Sail near me, but also didn't see them listed on their website. Any idea how much they are?

I really like my rod gloves. I also have reel gloves as well to keep boat rash to a minimum and couldn't recommend them enough.

Thanks for the suggestion. I see from their website they list a retailer in OKC that sells them. I will check them out.

8.99 also kds sells them for 3.99 and they look to be the same as rod gloves or at least similar
