Product Information
Full details
The Korum Progress Elasticated Tip & Butt Protector is designed for anglers looking to securely transport their fishing rods without the bulk of a full hard case. It is ideal for those who prefer using quivers or lightweight holdalls but need extra safety for sensitive rod tips and handles. While it provides excellent localized protection, it is important to note that it does not provide full-length rigid shielding against heavy impact, so rods should still be handled with care during transit.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these protectors be used on three-piece rods?
These are specifically designed for two-piece rods as the elastic adjustment is calibrated for the segments of those models.
Do I need a holdall if I use these?
While you can use them alone, they are primarily intended to supplement existing rod holdalls or quivers to provide extra protection.
Are the materials waterproof?
The materials are durable and protective, but they are not fully waterproof, so avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Will these fit carp rods with oversized butt eyes?
The slim top section (10cm x 4cm) is designed for standard tips; check that your butt eye doesn't exceed the width of the tip protector.
How do I clean the protectors?
Clean them with a soft, damp cloth and air dry them completely in a shaded area.
Troubleshooting
Protector slipping off the rod
Adjust the elastic tension cord more tightly to ensure a secure grip on the rod blank.
Difficulty fitting over large butt handles
Ensure the butt section is centered; the 20cm x 7cm dimension is designed for standard handles, so avoid forcing the fabric if your handle is unusually thick.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight and space-saving design

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your protectors, slide the tip protector onto the top section of your rod and the butt protector onto the lower section. Pull the elasticated straps to achieve a tight, secure fit so the covers do not slip during transit. To maintain the life of the product, wipe off any mud or grit after each trip using a damp cloth; avoid storing the protectors while they are damp to prevent odor or fabric degradation. These protectors are fully compatible with any quiver or rod sleeve that accommodates two-piece rods within the 8ft to 13ft range.
