Abstract
A fishing rod cover system for protecting the fishing rod from damage and for reducing entanglement of the fishing line during nonuse. The inventive device includes an elongate cover having an upper opening and a lower opening, a pair of catch members attached to the elongate cover adjacent the lower opening, and an attaching member catchably attachable to the catch members. The elongate cover is formed to receive the elongate shaft of a fishing rod without damaging the shaft. The attaching member is formed to snugly engage the distal end of the handle of the fishing rod opposite of the shaft for retaining the cover about the shaft of the fishing rod. The attaching member includes a first strap and a second strap each having a plurality of nubs that are catchably inserted within the catch members for retaining the attaching member upon handle of the fishing rod.
