Velcro, Velcro, Velcro. I have a baggie full of 1/2” Velcro strips of various lengths. I use it to hold line on a spinning reel spool. I put a strip on the rod by the hook keeper (first) like you did with the tape. Then I use another strip to hold the lure to the first strip of Velcro. There are many other uses. Easy to carry. Not expensive to replenish.

Hey Tony I get 3/8” vinyl tubing and cut it about 1 1/2 “ long and split it length ways and snap it on the rod. It stays on and you can move it from rod to rod and even use it above the guide if you don’t have a hook keeper.

I definitely recommend Ez Keeper by Fuji. It keeps the jig head away from the rod blank. I have it on all my Sarge Custom Rods.

Good idea!

Another tip I think is crucial, notably if there’s not a keeper ring, is to NOT hook your lure or bare hook through the first ceramic guide but into the bare metal support bars of the guide instead. I’ve seen hooks in the ceramic ring crack them.

I've seen people put lures and jigs through the holes in the reel drag knob or cap if they have one

I usually wrap a towel around the rod tips when they are riding in the bed of my truck. I've also used a 12-15 inch piece of a pool noodle for the same reason.

I use a 1 inch piece of round styrofoam that I cut a slit in, then I wrap it around the rod blank right above the hook keeper to prevent the jig, lure from banging the blank.

Great Tips. Using Rod Socks allows more rods in the rod lockers and the lines do not get twisted. Home Depot sells E-Z Fuse Tape which is rubber and adheres to itself. Can use to keep the jig head off the rod blank. I love 2-piece spinning and baitcasting rods for easy and safe transporting. St. Croix make great 2-piece rods, is an American company and has a great “damage” policy. I add a wire loop near where the lure keeper is. This accommodates looping lures like Texas Rigged lures without damaging the lure. I cut the looped portion on a small paper clip, Bend to the shape I want and then, using fly fishing lure tying thread, wrap the looped portion to the rod. A couple coats of fly tying epoxy and Life is Good. Be well.

Wait! Proposal here is to tape the lure to the rod in transportation, which implies having a tape with yourself? It's not to remove the lure from the line? You kidding me?

@Saltstrong 2 жыл бұрын

That works as well. But when you do that, you are cutting off leader material which is very expensive to replace on your line.

If we are talking money, that sounds like cents to me. Swivel snap clips are not an option because of?
