Rod Handle Wrap

rubber bands rot pretty quickly.

Correct you are !!

You rubber band users might want to consider using a "scunci" brand hair tie. I bought a 15pc set at WMart for a couple of bucks, and use them to secure my 3pc 14' rods together, when broken down & placed in a rod sock (for storage or transport).

... don't know if I've got enough left for a Scunci to hold my ponytail. That's why I use rubber bands, there !!

We use the tennis racket tape or wrap it adds a good cushion for some rods.

ok ....maybe something to think about .....IMHO a tore up foam handle is easier to grip than a slick one ....

Take your top hook toward the tip. wrap the main line around the hook 3 or 4 times. This will hold it in place. Bottom hook in the hook keeper. Wrap the whole thing around the rod until tight. Keeps every thing tight and not flopping around getting tangled. Feelay taught me this several years ago and I do it all the time.

I use these a lot, for many different things. Harbor Freight package of 4 for $2.99

Fuji EZ keeper II.

Originally inteded to be placed above the handle on rods that do not have a hook keeper. Replace the rubber connecting device with a longer one. I would purchase large rubber "O" rings for a few pennies a piece at a hardware. Wrap it around the bottom of your handle (where you normally place your hook). Remove when not in use. Keeps your handles pretty and solves the issue:

I let out enough main line to situate the reel between the bottom hook and top hook ...

Then wrap the bottom hook around the back of the reel ... and back toward the rod tip to "hook" the bottom hook and top hook to each other ...

This keeps the 2 hook points together with no slack in either dropper leader ...
