          SURF SLING
        
        
          A very comfortable way to brace
        
        
          your surf rod. The surf sling attaches
        
        
          easily to your belt and has buckles
        
        
          to adjust for a comfortable fit. If you
        
        
          fish from the surf, the Surf Sling is
        
        
          for you! Made of ballistic nylon, this
        
        
          completely rust proof surf belt
        
        
          accessory is designed for use with
        
        
          surf rods and their longer handles.
        
        
          May also be used for plugging and
        
        
          for walking the beach. The Surf
        
        
          Sling allows the angler to hold the
        
        
          rod for extended periods of time by
        
        
          distributing the weight of the rod to
        
        
          the Surf Sling. The Surf Sling is fully
        
        
          adjustable for comfort, and has a
        
        
          quick release which removes the rod
        
        
          holder portion when not needed. Cordova. Black.

          REC's reputation for quality is built on over 30 years of
        
        
          adherence to the highest manufacturing standards while using
        
        
          the best available materials and finishing processes. All aluminum
        
        
          rod cases are manufactured from hard drawn, high strength,
        
        
          lightweight aircraft grade tubing (wall thickness = 0.035"). REC
        
        
          offers aluminum cases in 5
        
        
          diameters (outside). To determine
        
        
          inside diameter subtract 0.0 70".
        
        
          For instance, the inside diameter
        
        
          of a 2" case is 1.93". This wide
        
        
          range of tube diameters offers
        
        
          anglers the opportunity to protect
        
        
          almost any rod. REC rod cases
        
        
          are engineered to ensure functional, durable, and lasting
        
        
          protection for fishing rods while enhancing the perceived value
        
        
          of the contents. Our continual improvement in product design,
        
        
          materials, and aesthetic enhancements guarantees that REC's rod
        
        
          cases are the best available. All REC products are 100% made in
        
        
          the USA.
        
        
          HOW TO SPECIFY A REC ROD CASE:
        
        
          1. DETERMINE CASE LENGTH
        
        
          Measure the length of the longest rod section. We recommend
        
        
          adding 1 1/2" to measured length to accommodate a rod bag and
        
        
          ensure sufficient interior space. The interior length of all REC
        
        
          cases is exactly as specified and is measured from the bottom to
        
        
          the tube-collar interface. If the section length cannot be
        
        
          determined when ordering, divide the overall rod length in inches
        
        
          by the number of sections and add 2 1/2" to accommodate the
        
        
          ferrules. Note: The additional 2 1/2" length is required to
        
        
          accommodate normal ferrule length for rods under 12 feet,
        
        
          assembled. Add 3 1/2" for rods 12 feet and over.
        
        
          2. DETERMINE REQUIRED DIAMETER
        
        
          Two piece freshwater rods can ordinarily be cased in 1-5/8"
        
        
          tubes. Saltwater, Spey and multipiece rods are ordinarily cased in
        
        
          2", 2-1/4", 2-1/2", & 3" diameter tubes. Please allow room for the
        
        
          rod bag, over size guides, and fighting butts. Note: Every REC
        
        
          rod case incorporates our exclusive CaseLock™ bottom system to
        
        
          ensure the security of case contents. Specify rod case by
        
        
          indicating the product designation code (SKU) followed by the
        
        
          appropriate length in inches. Example: RCB 38.5 (indicates 2"
        
        
          diameter x 38.5" interior length.)
        
        
          3. SPECIFY TUBE TREATMENT
        
        
          REC offers three types of aluminum tube treatments: Brushed,
        
        
          Anodized, and Powder Coated in many attractive standard
        
        
          colors. The brushed aluminum tubing is economical, yet
        
        
          attractive in a traditional style. The bronze anodized tubes are
        
        
          favored by many rod makers in combination with REC's
        
        
          Heritage™ Brass hardware for presentation quality rod cases. Our
        
        
          powder coated tubes are highly resistant to abrasion, UV light,
        
        
          saltwater, gasoline, and DEET (insect repellent) to ensure lifetime
        
        
          use in demanding conditions. Powder coated surfaces (except
        
        
          Mineral Bronze) are textured to enhance the beauty of the case
        
        
          and prevent scuffing.
        
        
          
            All REC Rod Covers are available.

          CLOTH SACKS
        
        
          St. Croix rod sacks are available for most
        
        
          freshwater and many saltwater rod models.
        
        
          They provide added protection when in transit
        
        
          or, sadly, when in storage.
