Homemade fly rod socks - peter805 - 11-29-2009 Some of my fly rods come with tubes and no socks. So I started making my own rod socks. Using felt material for extra softness and protection. Color match to rod so I know whats in it. On the new 3wt sage I also sew three black stripes on the sock , just so I know that is a 3wt []. Overkill ? Maybe. Then they all go into my fishpond hard case. I can put upto six rods into that case. Just sharing.
