Top And Tail Rod Bands – Rod Bands for Top and Butt Sections

Guru Top And Tail Rod Bands

The Guru Top And Tail Rod Bands protect a rigged feeder or match rod during storage and transport. The two thickly padded end covers fit around the butt section and the vulnerable tip section. A strong elastic connection keeps the rod sections compactly together under slight tension, making them less likely to shift.

The adjustable centre band can be secured in the desired position. The integrated storage pocket keeps an attached feeder, lead or feeder hooklength separate from the rod sections. This reduces the risk of scratches, tangles and damage to the rig. A small elastic loop also helps secure the reel handle during transport.

Frequently asked questions

Can I transport my rod while rigged?

Yes. The set is specifically designed to keep rigged rod sections safely and neatly together. Store the feeder, lead or hooklength in the centre band pocket so the rig cannot knock loosely against the rod.

How do I use the Top And Tail Rod Bands?

Slide the padded covers over the butt section and tip section, place the rod sections alongside each other and position the adjustable centre band where it stabilises the sections best. If necessary, also secure the reel handle with the small elastic loop.

Do these rod bands replace a padded rod holdall?

They protect the ends and keep the rod sections compactly together, but they do not provide the same all-round protection as a padded rod holdall. For transport among lots of other tackle, a suitable rod holdall is still recommended.
