Rod Tips Tip

Author: Norman Simpson
For protecting rod tips in a travel tube, boat or on a float trip, you can't beat a 24-inch section of 1/2- or 3/4-inch (inside diameter) water-pipe insulation from a hardware store. The soft foam insulation is slit along its length to fit around pipes or, in this case, rod tips.

Rubatex Msds When packing rods in a tube, use one piece of insulation per rod tip and insert all into the rod tube at the same time. Leave 2 to 3 inches of insulation extending beyond the rod tips to cushion them from slamming around inside the rod case.

Rubatex Neoprene On a boat, foam also can be used on a rigged rod to protect it from being stepped on during loading, unloading or storage. Rig the rod and hook the lure back on the reel, then place the insulation over the rod tip. When it's time for action, the protective cover is quickly stripped away and you're ready to cast.

Rubatex Pipe On canoe float-fishing trips, the foam insulation keeps my rods from being snagged overboard by stray branches or vines. And, if you accidentally drop a rod overboard, the rod (or at least the tip end with the foam) will float.

Wipe tips clean after use. Always replace protective cap on tweezer tips. Do not drop tweezers. This can damage tip and throw tweezers out of alignment. Spring tension can be increased by gently pulling the two halves of the tweezer apart. Once you have increased the spring, you cannot decrease it. Do not drop tweezers. This can damage the tip and throw tweezers out of alignment.
