squirrel3495 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 A couple years ago, I was at a bass tournament. One of the non-boaters was removing his rods from his pro's boat and he had them all wrapped together. I struck up a conversation with him because I had never seen anyone carry their rods in this manner. The wraps were soft plastic or foam on the outside and a bendable metal on the inside. He just took on wrap and twisted it around the lower section of the rods and it held them all together, same thing for the top. I recall them to be about 12" long and they were multicolored. He told me the name of them and that he bought them at his local hardware store but I can't remember for the life of me. I have also scoured the local hardware stores in my area with no luck.

powerworm Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 i think what he was using is the bungee cords that are more solid but fexible and you just twist them around stuff like you would a bread bag tie and they are good for what you say demonstrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I have never seen anything similar with all of my 1000's of trips to the hardware store for this hobby. They were so handy. Vodkaman: I disturbs me you were able to find that so quickly!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I have seen something like this advertised on tv. May be able to find 'em in the "as seen on tv" aisle at a local "mart" store.

Never thought to use it as a rod wrap. Good idea. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senkosam Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) They sell these in the beauty supply section of most stores. They are used to wrap hair around something or other and come in different lengths. Edited March 20, 2013 by Senkosam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
