Hi All,

Just wondering if any of the cheaper brands do a longer version? and or maybe a stiffer sleeve?

Years ago I had some ESP ones which were great for casting but I'm not sure they do them anymore now.

thanks

If you want cheaper, have a look on AliExpress

My experience with buying rig sleeves from the cheaper online brands is that they are very poor when compared against esp for instance. They are soft and split too easily, to my mind not fit for purpose.

I'm sure I've seen long esp ones recently so I'm sure you will be able to find some.

Bank Tackle do some 54mm ones. The only issue I've had with them is that they sometimes snag when you take them off over a qc swivel, but it's no big deal.

They won't catch if you use the ridgemonkey QC swivels, as they're the only ones I've seen where the end of the wire on the QC clip doesn't point outwards. I won't use anything else now.

ESP ones are excellent and the plastic used is stiff & sinks well - no need for putty etc.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
