Interesting concept - going to be the butt of a few jokes though.

More cushion for the pushin, err pullin'.

Yes have seen them or similar

We have been using tennis balls with a slice in them for years. ESP when cod jigging. When you loose one overboard it’s not a 10$ bill.

I have been sore and broken blood vessels across rib cage jigging and snagging, so the ten bucks, what they do cost, might be worth it to me. Plus, I don't lose much overboard. But for those that do, cough cough Bomba, this will float your rod.....

Been using those for a few years for Charters.
Much easier than putting a belt on them.

Good to know. Thanks Ron.
Haven't been in there in a long time. Can take a rod or two for sizing.
