The linecounter reels are heavier than most crappie reels we use. I can't always depend on clients to put the rod handles up to the trigger in the HiTek holders so I took pieces of SOLID pool noodle, split then 1/2 way thru and zip tied them on my rods. Haven't lost one yet. Can't say I'm crazy about the looks but they work and are a constant reminder to put the rod in the holder properly. The factory ones are very small.

Also probably keeps anybody from wanting to steal them looking like that.
