I’ve tried several types of rod boots, all have been designed with conventional rods in mind so they have always been too short for my mostly 9ft fly rods. The Trxstle boots are certainly long enough, actually several inches too long at 9’10”, but that doesn’t seem to be a big problem getting rods in or out, or sliding rods down my skiff rod tubes along the sides of the boat. There is one thing that keeps this rating from 5 stars and that is the woven material caught the second single foot guide on an 8wt rod and the weave separated keeping the guide stuck. This happened each time I tried to reload the rod into the boot, always at the same spot. I would prefer the boots to be a neoprene like material rather than this kind of Chinese finger trap kind of weave. These are a good start and I hope Trxstle will keep making advancements to the design.
