Here are a few reasons to use a lure guard.
1) Eliminate tangles between rods while storing or transporting them.
2) Save yourself from the hassles of snagging everything but the fish.
3)PROTECT your valuable fishing equipment from damage. Reels and rods from scratches and knicks, keeps your line from becoming chaffed when a hook from another lure rides up the line. ($100-250 for rod and reel, $6-10 per spool of line for reel,$4-??? for the lures, what's a couple of dollars more to keep them all in awesome shape.)
4) Keep plastics from drying out. Also helps keep artifical attractants on your lure, not boat, rods, reels and hands. Works great for gulps,salted or oil base products.
5)Can rig all rods in comfort at home watching TV. When not in use no worries about kids or pets becoming your next catch.
6)Wade fishermen can put 2 or 3 lures in a large one and fish without carrying a tacklebox. Fits into pocket or hooks to beltloop. Alot safer then putting them in the hat. ;D
While there are many different types out the reason for using them are the same. Seeing how I am a maker of one of these fine devices I might sound a little biased. The offer Doug made for a free sample will last until Jan.1.. Happy Holidays all and have a great 2007!!!
