A good spinning rod deserves better than rubbing against the rest of your gear on the way to the water. Stick Jacket Spinning covers the rod blank and guides to help protect against everyday scratches while making your outfits easier to organize. Its expandable, finger-trap-style sleeve slips on and off, with room for the larger guides found on spinning rods.Choose a color for each setup and make the next trip easier to pack. Blue for your drop-shot rod and Yellow for your Ned-rig outfit is one simple system: when you reach for a rod, its cover tells you which setup you packed.Keep Your Spinning Guides CoveredExposed guides can catch neighboring lines, and loose rods can rub together in storage or transit. This sleeve adds a layer between your rod and the gear around it without the bulk of a rigid case. It is a practical choice for routine handling, but a flexible cover is not crush protection. Use a protective travel case whenever heavy loads or impacts are a concern.The Right Pick for Your Spinning SetupBest for: organizing bass drop-shot, Ned-rig, shaky-head, and other finesse spinning outfits; storing trout and panfish rods; and covering appropriately sized inshore spinning setups. The sleeve is used between fishing sessions, not while casting or retrieving. Choose by rod length and guide clearance rather than species or fishing conditions.This Spinning model accommodates rods up to 7 ft 6 in long and 7-5/8 in around. Check the largest guide before selecting a cover. For a casting outfit with smaller guides, compare the Stick Jacket Casting rather than choosing a spinning sleeve solely by rod length.Simple Protection, Easy Identification Expandable sleeve covers the rod blank and guides. Spinning-specific fit provides room for larger guides. Finger-trap-style construction makes installation and removal straightforward. Nine color and pattern options help distinguish different outfits. One rod sleeve per pack. Spinning Sleeve Fit at a Glance Model Rod Length Fit Around Rod & Guides Pack Spinning Up to 7 ft 6 in Up to 7-5/8 in around 1 sleeve All nine color options share the same fit. The around measurement is circumference, not diameter.Give Each Outfit Its Own ColorBlue, Red, Yellow, Black, Pink, Purple, and Green offer straightforward color-coding choices. Contusion combines blue, red, and purple, while Black Crappie provides a black-and-white pattern. Choose by the setup you want to identify, not the species named in a pattern. Color does not change sleeve size.Tackle Express Tips Assign colors by technique and keep that system consistent across your rod rack, vehicle, and boat. Guide the sleeve gently over the rod and stop if it catches. Reposition it instead of forcing it over a guide. Keep exposed hooks away from the mesh. Pair your sleeve with a Stick Jacket Plug Jacket for separate coverage of a tied-on lure. Before You Cover Your RodWill this fit an 8 ft spinning rod?This model is sized for rods up to 7 ft 6 in.
