2) I have the rod gloves in different colors so it's easy to pick out which rod is which.

3) I like to leave certain rods setup for certain presentations (ie: Lindy rig, slip bobber, 3-way with slinky weight, etc). The rod glove slips over these setups and keeps things from getting tangled.

They are pretty cheap (under $10 IIRC) and a good way to keep things organized.

This sounds like a good setup for me as I usually keep at least 5 rods in my boat for pretty much the same reason. Like to change up quick if need be. Thanks for the insight. This helps
