l2oBiN Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I al looking for your recommendations on spinning reel pouches/storage solutions. I would like a solution for protecting the reel while mounted on the rod and stored separate from the rod. I have some 2500 sized and 4000sized spinning reels from Shimano and daiwa.

rickmarlin62 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I would recommend cloth bags with draw strings..plastic or rubber retain moisture and promote corrosion..rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2oBiN Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Rick, so the neoprene that seems to be often used would also retain the moisture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 If you’re talking storage in the house/shed/garage, not in the boat, I used to use the cloth bags which come with a bottle of Crown Royal Canadian whiskey... which reminds me... I just found an excuse to buy a few more bottles. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2oBiN Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 Perhaps these would do? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222620417237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTIE 01 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 you could consider one of these pouches http://www.a shop.com.au/Product/Shimano-Spin-Small-Reel-Cover/415348?menuFrom=30206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I spent quite a few years running the deck on a 42 riv out of port stephens and gamefishing in general..most of the tiagras I seen kept in neoprene protection covers suffered corrosion problems...reels have to be completely dry then sprayed with silicone spray before being put in neoprene..i will never use them again.....simple cloth flour bags or liquor bags if you can afford it are the go...rick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 For home storage I have a length of 4 x 1 " nailed to a wall with holes placed in it spaced appropiatly so reels don't touch each other, these holes are drilled at a slight angle so the dowel that is driven into them about 6" long protrude upwards. I then get a length of aluminium round tube ( you could use PVC pipe ) that fit over the dowel and reel seat and cut short strips about 1/2 inch long, 2 per dowel and use one either side of the reel seat to hold them to the dowel. Can't load photos here so hope this explains this method of reel storage a bit. Could send photos to emails if anyone wants to see them via PM.

CJay Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hey guys coming from a fresh water background ive always used hessian bags with a drawstring and never had an issue (maybe just following Grandads footsteps and traditional applications) I cant see why it couldn't be used for salt applications i just like it due to the fact they dry fast and dont retain nasty moisture ; lightweight,cheap, you can double them up for added protection and if leaning the rod onto something acts as a nice cushion so you dont scrape your stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 If your reels are estuary size 1000 - 2500's, another cheap alternative is a thick, cotton sock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2oBiN Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ordered a couple of canvas drawstring bags but the sock idea works well! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
