The problem I ran into with rod socks, gloves, etc was that they protected the rod – but not the reel. I put a bunch of rods in my rod locker and drove up to Rainy a few years ago… rods were in good shape but the reels clang’d against each other all the way up. A couple really got dinged up and I even had to replace a part on one. So, I found these – check out the “Combo Cover,” have used them for 3 years now and no damage to any of my rods or reels..
