Stick Jacket are available in four diameters.  Selecting the correct size sleeve for your fishing rods starts with knowing your options.

Stick Jacket Diameters and Circumferences

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.

Use a tape measure or strip of paper to measure the circumference around your rod blank and line guide.

Use a strip of pager to measure the circumference of your fishing rod and line guide

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

Now all you need is the length.

Stick Jacket Length Comparisons

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™

February 29, 2020 by Ron Bordwine

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.

The Original Stick Jacket & How It All Started

January 8, 2020 by Ron Bordwine

Team Stick Jacket ICAST
Team Stick Jacket ICAST

Stick Jackets® are a product of Orin Briant, INC. Established in 2004, Stick Jacket is the original rod cover that taught everyone how to Tame the Tangle™.

2004, company owner Ron Bordwine sold the first Stick Jacket fishing rod covers to local fishing clubs. In the first months of 2005, Stick Jackets made an appearance at several area fishing shows and our first dealer, the Fishing Connection. Now the fun begins.

Stick Jacket sold out of my boat at tournaments.

2005, during the spring & summer months, owner Ron Bordwine traveled door to door calling on every tackle shop he could find in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota & Florida. By the end of the year, Stick Jackets could be found in over 60 retail tackle shops. The first braided sleeve fishing rod sock was making progress.

2006 was even busier. We did many more fishing shows ranging from Green Bay to Dallas. Ron continued door to door trips to the states of TX, AR, IA, MO, MI, AL, TN, KY, GA, SC, FL and finishing up in California. Tackle Warehouse was a big help getting Stick Jacket online as their first.

2007, growth was steady. More fishing shows, Several Elite Pros are using Stick Jacket. Bill Dance gave us a call. We went to our first Bass Master Classic Expo and met our new friend Preston Clark. Sales trips included travel to TX, LA, MS, NC & VA.

2008 was our breakout year. Focus was all on our first ICAST in Las Vegas. Preston Clark introduced us to all the key players in the fishing business. Our hero, Bill Dance spent time with us at the show. Writers from Bass Master, FTR Magazine & others wrote about us and several camera crews did their thing too. Stick Jackets was the hot item.

The journey has been rewarding. Our success is all thanks to our wonderful retail dealers and anglers like you. Special thanks to Christine, Mike, Keith, Tom, Brittany, Bob, Dan , Tommy, Preston, Bill and most of all, Mom.
