Product Benefits

Designed especially for demanding anglers, the NASH Subterfuge Butt and Tip Protectors are padded protectors for rod butt and tip that secure your rods during all stages of transport and handling. Thanks to these sleeves, the most fragile parts of your rod are no longer exposed to shocks, abrasion and mishandling when you move between the car, the fishing spot and home.

Each protector firmly wraps the rod end while remaining simple and quick to install. In seconds, your rods are protected, grouped and ready to be stored in a sleeve, a case, or directly in the car boot, making it an essential accessory for any modern angler keen to preserve their gear.

Advantages and Key Features

One of the main advantages of these butt and tip rod protectors is their ability to extend the life of your rods. By avoiding repeated micro-impacts on the guides, wraps and blank, you significantly reduce the risk of cracks or unexpected breakage during a fight with a fish.

The drawcord system with cordlock allows you to put on or remove the protectors even with cold or wet hands, without having to force. You can secure your rods at the end of a session in a few moves, which reduces packing time and helps you stay better organized at the bank.

By keeping the rod ends well grouped, the NASH Subterfuge Butt and Tip Protectors also limit the risk of hooks, guides or lines snagging during transport. You carry your rods more discreetly, more comfortably and with increased peace of mind, whether for short after-work trips or multi-day sessions.

Usage Tips

To make full use of these rod protection sleeves, start by placing a sleeve on the rod tip, making sure to fully cover the most fragile part. Then tighten the cord using the sliding cordlock until the protector is held securely but without excessively compressing the guides.

Repeat on the butt of the rod, then group the parts before storing the set in your case or sleeve. Always check that the line is not trapped in the fastening system and that the guides remain free inside the protector.

After each session, it is recommended to let the protectors air dry if they have been exposed to moisture or mud. A simple rinse with fresh water keeps them looking clean and prevents abrasive dirt from remaining in prolonged contact with your rods.
