Rated 4 out of 5Â by KVBassBuster Good Buy
Just purchased these rod socks. I carry many rods in my boat and usually my spinning rods are in a separate locker. They were always getting tangled especially after a rough ride on a lake. I put these socks on my spinning rods and they ride nicely without getting tangled.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CRAZYBASS81 Works great
Own about ten of them. Use them on both spinning and casting 7ft rods. Haven't had a single tangled rod when pulling a rod out of my boats rod locker.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Fisherman209 Gets the job done
I have two 6'6" spinning rods. This rod sock came down far enough to cover all the rod guides. Doesn't reach all the way to the reel, but it covers enough of the rod to get the job done.
This rod sock isn't something that is going to reduce a break if you slam it in a car door for instance. I would say its more to keep your rod and guides from becoming beat up and scratched up.
Nice protection for a cheap price.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Ikee Too short
For the newer, longer rods -- 7 feet + -- these are a bit short; hardly reach the bottom guide.

They come 1 in a package. I wouldn't recommend it. They are only meant for 1 rod each.A:Â
I only had 1 per package, and only 1 rod will fit per sock.A:Â
There is one sock per package. I don't think you can get more than one rod into a sock.A:Â
no you cant, that would defeat the purpose of the sock. there is one sock per packA:Â

just one per and just one rod per sockAnswers

So far, our lures/hooks haven't gotten hooked in the fabric.A:Â
That seems to be the nature of the material. Other brands seem to be much tighter and I never had problems with them. The Bass Pro sock is much looser and will snag everything.A:Â
No they don't godown far enough to catch the lure

A:Â
The socks don't go that far down the rods.A:Â
I think ost lures would hang p. I remove min befoe putting them in the socks.A:Â
Sock does not cover entire rod. You should consider attaching lures down towards your reel.A:Â
they can hang up in the elastic strap or in the velcro collar if they can be pulled down that far on the adjustable sock. on the mesh type yes they wili quite easilyA:Â
No you must hang the lure at the bottom of the rod and put the hook through the small loop.A:Â
It depends on the size of rod you use. If you choose to attach your lure to your reel - there is no interference. on 6' rods, using hte lure keeper, in one instance a crankbait rod got caught on the strap. Not a big deal. I really like the product.

I do not recommend putting the rod into the sock with a lure. They are for protecting the rod. I am pretty sure they will get hung up.Details:Â
I'm not totally clear if this will fit over the reel as well as the rod. Could someone please clarift?Answers
A:Â
No, these will cover the bottom eyelet, then you loop the elastic strap over the rod.A:Â
Its designed to cover rod only , you need a reel mitt for the reel , its very important to protect your gear. They do sell a gear bag that holds both rod and reel but with the rod sock you can still store your rods on your rod rack.Images for this Answer

A:Â
No, they don't fit over the reel, just the rod.A:Â
It does not fit over the reel. Basically keeps the length of the rod untangled and I wouldn't suggest putting it over lures. Works well in rob compartments that aren't fully accessible.

A:Â
No, just the rod guides.A:Â
The socks only cover the rod, not the reel.A:Â
Does not cover reel. Does a great job of covering guides.A:Â
It fits over only the rod.A:Â
The sock only fits over the rod. You then lift the strap over the reel and the strap "catches" on the reel to hold the sock firmly on the rod. The reel is not covered by the sock.

Does anyone know how long the sock part of this is? It says fits 6 to 7 foot but doesn't specify a length for the sock itself.
Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
They are about 5 foot long. It has an ajustable strap on it the stretchs on down to the reel.A:Â
It is about five and a half long, and has adjustable elastic to stretch around your reel to hold it on.A:Â
The sock itself is 52" then there is a adjustable sling to hook around your reel seat to adjust to fit.A:Â
I measured 3 of mine and they all were between 52and 53 inches for the sock portionA:Â
It's under 6 foot. I can't say exactly, but I have a 6' trigger rod I use for skipping docks and it doesn't come up to the levelwind.The stretchy strap part is very expandable, via a buckle like on suspenders.
A:Â
They do fit 6 - 7 foot rods but on the longer rods you really can't put the strap over the reel because it puts too much pressure on the tip.A:Â
The sock I have measures 51-1/2" inside. The strap adds between 9 and 18". This means that only the top 51-1/2" of rod will be inside the sockDetails:Â
I have some high mod graphite rods that tend to be a tad brittle at the tip, and it seems to me this thing, if you strech it from the tip to the reel it would put too much pressure on the rod and snap the tip off. Has this happend to anyone?, or does it have something to protect this?Answers
A:Â
It will not break your rod tip if you you do not adjust it too tightly, just enough pressure to keep it on.A:Â
You decide how tight it is by adjusting the sling.A:Â
If your rod is not over 7 feet 2 in you will be fine. Anything over that and yes it will bend the tip slightly and therefore, I wouldnt recommend using them. I personally throw 7 foot rods and they are perfect on those.A:Â
you have an adjust end to it so as not to stress your tip end. adjust it to fit loosely for your rods.richard
A:Â
just make sure that you don't stretch the elastic too tight, I have found that if you do it does "stress" the rod tips. you don't have to pull them really tight to keep them in placeA:Â
I had to adjust the strap on the 7ft rod only. Had someone slam the rod tip in the door with the sock on, saved the rod from breaking.A:Â
The amount of force it's going to exert will depend on how tight the stretchy band is. If you open it all the way up then it will fit loosely. The other thing is you can choose where to secure the loop. If you put it all the way around the reel/seat then it'll be tighter. But on longer rods, you can put it around the forward handle crank and keep it looser.A:Â
The rod sock will be fine on longer roads as long as you adjust the strap that hooks onto your reel. I have never broken a tip but on longer rods it would put some pressure on the tip.On my 7 foot rods I just do not use the strap.Images for this Answer
(click to see full-size image)
A:Â
Never snapped a tip but I do not like the bend it puts on the rods. It bends the tip if you tighten the strap to keep it on. But if I loosen it not to bend my rod the strap almost or does fall loose because the sock is so short. 7' bass rods. Not a quick on or off.A:Â
I wouldn't recommend it for 7ft rods. 6"6' is about the length they work on.For high modulus graphite rods (IM9) I'd suggest getting rod convers that enclose the entire rod which these don't. There is exposed graphite between the handle and the start of the sock.
