I’ve used these bands on my Cutthroat Trout setup for several seasons. They fit perfectly on my medium-sized reel and keep the line secure. No more fraying at the tippet. The neoprene is durable and doesn’t wear out easily.

Great fit for my large arbor reel. The stretch material makes it easy to install without needing tools. I noticed less line damage after using them regularly during long fishing trips.

These bands are a small upgrade that makes a big difference. I can tell the line stays cleaner and the gear doesn’t rub against the leader. Works well with both floating and sinking lines.
