Holy Smokes! If you try using the castration bands, I recommend paying the extra little bit for the tool to put them on. I used my fingers last night and after the first band I had two fingers caught between the cork and the band. I've never felt my fingers get so cold that fast and then screaming hot 15 minutes later. Needless to say, they were tingling a bit. I am going to purchase the $12 tool this afternoon so I don't end up with nerve damage.
I used a funnel that I cut to size. It wasn't too easy but it worked.
I use this tape, its just about like the frabill tape, it is actually thicker and you get 10 feet for about 4 bucks. Fleet Farm has it in the electrical isle.(Image removed from quote.)
if it is just a cork handle what are you covering up with a couple wraps of electrical tape ,if has a reel seat it doesn't need anything just a question all my reels are cork , even Jason Mitchell uses tape, was on line looking at stuff and noticed that right off , but to each their own, and or what makes you comfy
I have not spotted any cork denting on my jig rods from the Cold Snap reel wraps, they keep the reel from moving at all, even fighting big Lake trout, nothing against anyone who uses tape, but I can't stand the idea of covering a Custom Made cork handle with any kind of tape, I'll stick with the Cold Snap Reel Wraps !!
That's fine, but I would rather spend another dollar or two and support a company that is involved with ice fishing, not "oysters" After all, he is the guy that came up with the idea for using them this way. And I'm sure it won't be long and most of the rods we buy will come with these already on them. I spoke with the owner of Cold Snap last year at a local ice show, and he said that they are going to have several different colors for this next ice season. Our sport is starting to get consumed by big buisiness (thanks Rapapla) and I think it is important to support the small guys. After all, they are the ones with all the good ideas.I'll get off my soap box now. lol
