Made a couple rod socks - lonehunter - 04-20-2019 I have rod tubes but the thought of custom built rods bouncing around in them , possibly getting wear marks or nicks is not something I want to happen . I looked on line for some rod socks to keep my rods looking nice during my steelhead fishing trips across the state . Thin cotton sleeves or heavy plastic web items were all I could locate . As every good fisherman does , if you can't find what you need , you make what you need . I made them. Grey Microfiber , seamed down the middle to hold each section and a pocket in the flap to hold the Ferrule Wax in . They are my first ones I ever tried to make , stitching is a little off but they didn't turn out bad at all . That's Jack the cat in the one picture , he thought I was making some kind of toy for him to play with , LOL !
