Gardner Rod and Lead Straps are designed to retain the lead when you are packing your rods away with the rigs still attached. They hold the lead safely in a Velcro fastened padded sleeve to stop it knocking the rod blank, and also hold your rod sections securely together with straps that wrap around them. They also feature an additional full width flap of padded material that sits between the rod sections to keep them separated during transit. This has two benefits: it keeps the rods in place, stopping them knocking or rubbing together, and it stops the strap from moving by locking everything in place. These Rod and Lead Straps are extremely easy to use. Hook the rig onto a rod ring, use the leg to avoid damaging ring liners, and then separate the rod sections. Position the lead into the sleeve and Velcro close, place the padded flap between the rod sections and wrap the Velcro straps around them, securing them so the hooklink is under gentle tension. Using the leg stops the hook falling off the rig ring and hanging down where it could catch or snare on you or other equipment. - General dimensions: 14cm x 7.5cm lead retaining pocket, with 10cm full Velcro straps - Available in triple packs or singles
