What's This And How To Use It?

G'day mates. I got a new spin rod and found a small thing before grip. Never use this kind thing, anyone know what it is and how to use? Thanks!

Its a lure or hook holder,for when your rigged rod is not in use.

Very handy those hook keepers. Atleast u dont have to choose which guide to hang the into.

It doesn't seem to matter how much you clean them they rust eventually.

its always very nifty having one of them on your rods, especially if youre land based and are moving around a lot.

It is funny some cheaper rods have them and some of the more expensive models dont. I think they are great, lures dont flap around in the breeze or damage the guides.

My new g-loomis rod didnt have one which I was VERY surprised about as most of their models do.

Fuji make a UV resistant plastic holder which is held in place by a small rubber o-ring. The holder can be folded down when not being used.

I got mine from RodWorks:

Fuji Sliding EZ Hook Keeper

Although it seems that the price has nearly trippled????

Fantastic little invention.
