Outdoor Tips
Tip #36
On Guard Protect
Yourself
  There
are millions of good potential
ideas out there, but relatively
few become a genuine great tip
because we never seem to put
"two and two" together in our
mind. Many products have
multiple uses which often result
from putting them into service
in an unrelated way.
 It
resulted from the need to
protect gear, clothing and
people from the hooks on rigged
fishing rods when they were
being transported inside the
vehicle with the passengers or
bundled together in the back of
the truck where all sorts of
other gear is kept.
 Pre-formed
wrap-on foam pipe insulation is
available in most
 hardware
stores for protecting water
pipes from freezing in cold
weather. This insulation comes
in various diameters to fit
various sizes of pipes. It comes
already split along the edge.
Use
scissors or a knife to cut a
piece the length of your lures.
Just spread the open edge and
snap on your rod where it will
stay in place. 2 1/2 inch
insulation is perfect for
covering a Kwikfish lure and the
treble hooks. One inch and 1 1/2
inch diameters are good for
spin-n-glow rigs and smaller
lures and spinners. Its
lightweight, synthetic, durable,
and best of all keeps all the
rods from getting tangled with
each other or scratched up.
