Hi all
Late to the party I know but I am going to use chods on a lake I've started fishing. Never really bothered with them before but it makes sense to use them in the scenario I'm looking at.
Given this I have a question... what's the best way of storing them on the rods, made up, between sessions? How do I keep them on the rods but protect the curve?
Probably a noddy question but someone will have a neat trick I am sure?
Thanks all

Nash do some chod bands which protect the hook point and keep the curve. Most people I see keeping chods set up on the rod just hook them onto the rod eye and re-curve them at the beginning of the session.

put a 1cm piece of normal tubing over the hook and put the rod in bag...

cigarette filter to protect the hookpoint is a quick/cheap option

I curve the hooklength back around and store the hook in the swivel with filter tip
Plain ones ready to be finished are stored in a sports drink tablet tube
A couple of fully made up spares are stored as above in a hook packet just in case anything happens

Just use a quickchange swivel, create the chods using krimps with a small loop at the end..that way its easy to take them off, or replace them. I use a tungsten bufferbead to secure the gape from the quickchange swivel. Also gives it a bit more weight to keep it pinned down..
