Okay, so it may not be new, but I needed something to keep my rod sections together. No, not a sock and tube. One because my rods generally are too cheap for a nice sock and tube, but two because I like to have my rigs set up and ready to go as soon as I get to the water.
So I made these. 10" of 1/8" nylon bungee and a 14 mm wood bead. Wood bead counterbored to snug the bungee knot:
In use:
Also, I think for most flies you can stretch the ball away from the loop at the butt end (or the tip end actually) and safely pinch a fly in there where it won't get free of your hook ring and snag in the trunk carpet! I was thinking also it might work to use a cork ball and actually spike the fly into that.
Just thought I'd share.
