Reel Bags

<h2>Buying Guide for Reel Bags</h2><p>Reels are without doubt among the most expensive pieces of <strong>tackle</strong> you own. To make sure these precision items arrive at the water undamaged, there are all kinds of protective and storage solutions available - and that matters. Even a small scratch on the lip of the spool can be enough to seriously affect performance. Sensitive <strong>braid</strong> gets nicked on the cast and snaps without warning. Protecting this valuable part of your tackle setup is well worth the effort.</p><h3>Keeping Your Reel Safe on Short Trips</h3><p>Most of the time you are probably heading to the water with one or more fully rigged <strong>spinning rods</strong>. That might mean bumping along a dirt track in the car, cycling to your spot, or taking public transport. This is where bags that fit over the reel with the rod still attached come into their own. They wrap around both the reel and the rod handle, and are typically made from <strong>neoprene</strong>, which cushions against knocks and impacts through its thick, soft construction. They are secured with <strong>hook-and-loop fastenings</strong>.</p><h3>Protecting Your Reel When Travelling</h3><p>On a longer fishing trip - or when you are flying to your destination - reel protection becomes even more critical. Rushed baggage handlers, tumbling cases, and a game of luggage Tetris in the boot? Your reel needs to be properly protected. For these situations there are transport bags and even hard cases made from more robust materials that take <strong>multiple reels</strong>, each separated by soft dividers and thoroughly protected.</p><p>Both variants are available for <strong>fixed spool reels</strong> and <strong>baitcasters</strong>.</p>
