The new 34 rod belt is designed to accomodate anglers ajing that have ultra thin blanks. The rod belt helps separate the blanks securely to prevent the blanks from damaging each other during transit. There are two straps, one for the upper part of the rod and the other for the grip side on the rod. The velcro strap will secure the rod. The strap at the end grip is built with EVA for extra protection.
