The Stick Jacket XL Casting model fits rods up to 8-1/2&'; Long and 3-7/8" round. We like these sleeves because they are easy to put on and take off, protect the rod and guides, and can be color coordinated so you know which rod is which. The grommet at the tip allows you to hang your rod, the sleeve acts like a finger trap. All the covers are designed to stop short of the reel and in most cases the hook holder. That way you can have a bait or lure tied on and it won&';t get caught in the sleeve. We don&';t recommend putting the hook on the guides, you&';ll have a heck of a time getting it off if the hook gets in the sleeve. 1 per pack
