Product FAQs

Questions specific to each product. These are also shown on each product page.

LureShield

The LureShield is made from tough yet flexible pierce-resistant material, specifically designed to wrap securely around hooks and lures. It's lightweight, durable, and built to last trip after trip.

The LureShield is built to go the distance. Many of our customers have been using the same LureShield for over 7 years and it's still going strong. It's made to withstand the elements and rough use.

Yes — from single hooks and hardbodies to jigs and even topwater baits. The LureShield is designed to wrap around a wide variety of lure shapes and sizes, so long as the lure is under 4.33" (110mm).

In seconds. It wraps tightly when you want it to and comes off just as easily when you're ready to fish.

Exposed hooks and lures can easily snag into car seats, carpet, clothing, or even your hands during transport. They also tangle with other rods and lines, costing you time untangling instead of fishing.

With the LureShield, sharp hooks are covered inside a pierce-resistant wrap and locked in place with a strap. Your rods stay organised, your gear and car are better protected, and you arrive at the water rigged and ready to cast.

Rod Armour Pro Sleeve

Yes — the Rod Armour Pro Sleeve is designed for both spinning and baitcast setups. The 110mm (4.33") opening accommodates either reel type, even when your rod is fully rigged with a reel attached.

It's designed to protect the tip, the blank, and the guides of your rod. The tip is reinforced with protective heavy-duty padding that is lightweight. Stretching down the blank and guides is water- and dust-resistant neoprene that helps cushion blows.

Bent guides, snapped rod tips, and scratched blanks are the last thing you want when you spend good money on your rods. Spend a little bit more to protect them and make your rods last a lifetime.

The tip is made from a lightweight, padded material with Armour-Zorb technology — designed to provide maximum protection at minimum weight. This helps absorb all manner of impacts and bumps, protecting the most fragile part of your rod.

Without the Pro Sleeve, rods are at constant risk of tangling, scratching, or breaking. Hooks and lines snag on seats, carpets, and other rods. The rod tip is especially vulnerable to knocks and can snap with even a small impact. The Pro Sleeve helps prevent tangles and absorbs shock, keeping your rods organised and safe every trip.

If your rod falls into the water unprotected, it will sink quickly and can be lost for good. The Rod Armour Pro Sleeve is designed with buoyant, lightweight materials that help keep your rod afloat long enough to recover it. Peace of mind that accidents won't cost you your gear.

Rod Armour Pro Sleeves come in 4 sizes, named by the recommended rod length when your rod is rigged with a reel. The sleeve itself is shorter than your rod because it covers from the tip down to roughly the reel:

  • 5ft rod: 5ft–6ft Sleeve, 122cm (4ft), encloses up to the reel.
  • 6ft rod: 6ft–7ft Sleeve, 152.5cm (5ft), extends up to the first line guide.
  • 7ft rod: 7ft–8ft Sleeve, 183cm (6ft), encloses up to the reel.
  • 8ft rod: 8ft–9ft Sleeve, 213.5cm (7ft), extends up to the first line guide.

All sleeves are 110mm (4.33") wide at the opening to accommodate both spinning and baitcast reels.

Backed by our 90-Day Fit Guarantee — if a sleeve doesn't fit as expected, we'll swap sizes at no cost.

Reel Armour — Baitcast Edition

Without protection, even a single drop can cause dents, cracks, or hidden internal damage to gears, bearings, and the drag system. These issues often shorten your reel's lifespan and can cost hundreds to repair.

Yes — our design works with both left- and right-hand low-profile reels.

Yes — the cover is designed to fit whether your rod is fully rigged or not.

It's a heavy-duty, padded cover purpose-built for low-profile baitcast reels. It wraps the reel in 360° reinforced padding with a shock-absorbing core to help defend against knocks, dust, and water during storage or transport.

The Baitcast Edition fits low-profile 100–200 reels (also referred to as 10–20 size) from leading brands. For spinning reel protection, choose our Spinning Edition.

Unlike thin neoprene sleeves, the Reel Armour Baitcast Edition is engineered with thick, structured padding that absorbs shock and impact. You're not just buying a cover — you're buying peace of mind that your reel is less likely to be damaged during transport or when accidents happen.

Yes — a damaged baitcaster reel can cost hundreds to repair or replace. For a small one-off cost, the Reel Armour protects your reel and extends its lifespan, making it a smart long-term investment.

WrapStrap

It's built from heavy-duty, water-resistant material with a super-strong Velcro system designed to grip tightly and last trip after trip.

You can bundle anywhere from 2 to 9 rods securely together, no matter the size or length.

By bundling rods into one secure pack, it saves you multiple trips, makes them easier to grab and carry, and frees up space in your car or boat.

In seconds. It wraps tight when you want it to and comes off just as easily when you're ready to fish.

Absolutely. Pairing the WrapStrap with Rod Armour Covers gives your rods the ultimate protection and convenience.

Complete Solution Pack

The pack includes 4 × Rod Armour Pro Sleeves, 4 × LureShields, and 2 × WrapStraps — everything you need to transport your rods with confidence.

The Complete Solution Pack saves you money compared to buying separately, and ensures you have the full system for rod tip protection, tangle-free lure transport, and easy multi-rod carrying.

Yes — they are available in multiple sizes to fit rods from 5ft to 9ft (rigged length, with reel attached), covering all eyelets while keeping the rod action visible for easy identification.

Without it, rods can tangle, tips can snap, hooks can snag, and carrying multiple rods becomes a hassle. The pack eliminates these problems, saving time and protecting your investment.

Yes — the LureShields in the pack work with single hooks, hardbodies, jigs, and even topwater baits. Designed to wrap around a wide variety of lure shapes and sizes.
