Our Rod Sleeves

Padded neoprene rod sleeves, designed by anglers for anglers

Think of it as a tougher fishing rod sock. The padded tip uses Armour-Zorb (air particles and foam) to help absorb knocks at the most fragile part of the rod. The snag-resistant cover helps protect the blank and guides from scratches and tangles, and it's water and dust resistant for fresh and saltwater. Every sleeve is Drop-Tested 6.5 ft and floats if dropped overboard.

Which rod sleeve size do I need?

Use the length printed above your rod's handle. On a line? Go smaller. Sleeve lengths: 5–6 ft rods 48 inches, 6–7 ft 60 inches, 7–8 ft 72 inches, 8–9 ft 84 inches.

Rod sleeve FAQ

Do fishing rod sleeves work?

They help stop rigged rods tangling, scratching and snapping tips on the way to the water. One design fits spinning and baitcast rods.

How do I put on a rod sleeve?

On most spinning and baitcast rods, slide it over the tip first with the line and lure still on, then loop the rod leash (cord and toggle) to keep it on. Cover the lure with a LureShield so the hooks stay put.

Do rod sleeves float?

The sleeve floats if dropped overboard and helps keep the rod afloat, so you have a chance to get it back.
