Stick Jacket rod socks come in four circumferences.  Many anglers will know from experience the size they require.  If you are shopping for an angler in your life, knowing the circumference and length is a good start to ordering the correct size.

Compare your measurement to the circumference illustration and select the cover for your rod.

Now all you need is the length.

We recommend the length you select should cover all the line guides and leave room for a fishing lure connected to your hook keeper. Stick Jackets come in 24, 66, 72, 78 & 84 inch lengths nominally. Please note: Not all lengths are available in all circumferences.

The trumpet end is best if it falls between the last line guide and forgrip.

Stick Jacket Tames the Tangle™

by

Stick Jacket is the original.  From the start in 2004, our goal was to make a fishing rod sleeve that anglers will use in the boat, walking down to the dock or storing rods in the garage.  We taught the world how easy it was to protect your valuable fishing rods and look good doing it.

Design Considerations

Our trumpet end is cuffed and set with heat.  This maximizes the opening for fast and smooth clearance over large line guides.  Cuffs that are not pressed or flipped to the outside will catch on lines guides more frequently.

Fishing Lasso for your sticks

Our Rod Lassos™ are available for users that want to lock the Stick Jacket on their rods.  During design testing, we found that built in retaining straps are more likely to tangle with other rods and treble hooks.  This leads to angler frustration and lost fishing time.

Plug Jackets for lure

Our Plug Jacket™ is the last defense against rod tangles.  Highly recommended for treble hook lures, our Plug Jacket™ keeps those treble hooks from tangling your sticks.

Our breathable braided material is far superior to cloth and neoprene fishing rod covers. It will not mold or mildew and unlike cloth or neoprene fishing rod socks, our sleeving will not de-laminate your rods due to trapped moisture and heat.
