Has anyone made their own rod covers like the Stick Jacket or Rod Glove? If so where did you get the braided tubing & how did you make them?

Thanks,
Tony

This is the cheapest place that I've found. I use 3/4" for bait casters and 1 1/4" for spinning.




I cut the end with scissors. Seal the end with a lighter and use 8lb braid to sew the end shut by running the line through the end 2-3 times and then wrapping around the end until i think it tight enough. I cut it about 2-3 inches longer then I want it when finished. I burn the ends again. Roll the end twice and then sew it in two spot to keep it from coming undone. If i get the chance I'll post some pics in the next couple days.
