Might sound like a silly question but how do you guys stop getting hook rash on the side of your lures when your rod is in the rod holder and your underway.

Have looked at the lure wraps they sell overseas but haven't seen any in NZ, might just use a little Velcro strap.

One which was pretty cool actually covered each point of the trebles.

treble covers are cheap and easy to use, also come in handy when changing out hooks on split rings. wouldnt hurt to use a strap to tie down your lure in transit so your rod doesn't get damaged either.

Similar issue.. a soft bait or trolling lure or bait/ sinker with rods in the holders and travelling.. or even just sitting between re baiting whatever..
I use $2 shop elcheapo large ladies spring hair clips.. the ones that sort of look like an over grown paper clamp.
weight is brought down to just above the reel and the hair clips clamp everything to the rod so hooks, weights, line doesnt flap around in banging, denting, tangling, hooking  etc
When not in use they clamp to whatever is handy.. a rail, side of the bait board, bimini frame....

the Jarvis Walker Velcro rod straps work well, combined with Treb covers.....to protect the rod mostly. I've lost the odd treb cover in transit whilst in the rocket holder in bumpy/windy conditions, flailing trebs can cause some trouble to adjacent rods, best to remove stickbait entirely in those conditions IMO

yeah same principle as the clips
At bunings, and the only place around  I have found stocks it, they have  2m (I think) velcro that sticks back on its self type strips.. not cheap about $20  but damn usefull for all assorts of things

Thanks for the ideas guys, the shimano rod wrap works the best. Wrap around belly of lure first, then lay belly triple against that. Then one wrap on top of the triple and just enough left to go around the rod to hold the lure from flaling around.
