Ian Taylor –
I’ve used these bands on my floating and sinking lines for several seasons. The neoprene holds up well in wet conditions and keeps the line from rubbing against the reel gears. Easy to install and fits my medium-sized reel perfectly.
Melanie Clarkson –
The bands are a great addition to my gear setup. They look clean and professional, and I notice less fraying on my tippet after using them. A little stretch makes them fit a variety of spools without needing adjustments.

I bought a pack of three to have on hand for different reels. The large size fits my 3.5-inch arbor perfectly. The material is thick and doesn’t wear out quickly, even after long days of fishing.
