Title: Spectra Finger Protection
Post by: Brewcrafter on June 27, 2025, 01:03:15 PM
If you are like me, you probably have half a dozen partially used rolls of Flex Wrap cluttering your tackle bag.  This is an option I was introduced to by a Long Range friend, costs about as much as Flex Wrap but is virtually indestructible (no retaping, coming loose, etc) holds up very well to Spectra, is comfortable and a small pack is enough to last many, many trips (or share with the rest of the boat).  EZ on, EZ off, and reusuable. - john

I ordered a set and had a chance to use them on an overnight trip aboard the Producer. We only night jigged for 30 minutes, but this really saved my thumb and stayed in place. Highly recommended.
