Hi,

Looking around for some rod tip and butt protectors, and wondered which one's you could recommend please?

So far looking at the Sonik neoprene one's for £7.99 a pair, which seem good value.

Cheers.

Thinking Anglers Camfleck Elastic Tip Top
They will protect your rod sections at both ends and holds them safely together

How long have you had them and do you leave them out in the sun? Curious as I've picked some up to replace an old Nash 3 rod connect for the same issue.

I use the NGK neoprene ones, had them ages and still perfect, no point paying extra carp tax for a big brand name for something like this.

Do you mean NGT and if you do I totally agree, I've been using mine for a few months now and no complaints what so ever and their cheap as chips. 🙂👍

I've got Greys ones that came with my Aircurves. Do the job very well but not sure of they are sold separately

Nash elasticated tip tops work well for me

The tackle box ones are good as are the peak angling products ones and the Thinking Anglers ones are ok. Had Nash ones but the elastic went on them, think they were the first to bring them out?
