Spend less time untangling outfits and more time getting ready to fish. The Stick Jacket Casting slips over your casting rod and guides to help protect against scratches and keep line from catching on neighboring rods during storage and transport. Its finger-trap-style fit holds the sleeve in place until you are ready to remove it.

Sized for rods up to 7 ft 6 in long and 3-7/8 in around, it is a practical cover for appropriately sized freshwater and inshore casting setups. With 19 color and pattern options, you can give each outfit its own visual identity instead of sorting through a bundle of similar-looking rods at the ramp.

Keep Guides Covered and Setups Separate

Loose rods can rub together, and exposed guides can catch line from other outfits. This sleeve adds a protective layer around the rod and guides while keeping everyday handling simple. It slides on and off without enclosing the reel, and usually stops short of the hook keeper so a safely secured lure can remain outside the cover.

A sleeve helps with routine organization and surface protection; it is not a rigid travel case. Use structural protection when rods may be crushed or exposed to heavy impacts.

The Right Pick for Your Casting Rod

Best for: organizing bass casting outfits, separating jig, worm, crankbait, or other technique-specific setups, and covering inshore casting rods that fit the stated dimensions. Choose by rod length and guide clearance rather than by species alone. Remove the cover before fishing.

For longer casting rods up to 8 ft 6 in with the same 3-7/8 in-around fit, choose the Stick Jacket XL Casting. If your rod and guides need more room, compare the Stick Jacket Big Magnum, sized for rods up to 8 ft 6 in long and 8-1/2 in around.

Simple Details That Make Packing Easier

• Easy-on, easy-off sleeve covers the rod blank and guides.
• Finger-trap-style fit helps hold the sleeve on the rod.
• Brass end grommet offers a hanging point for a rod without its reel.
• Stops short of the reel and usually the hook keeper.
• 19 color and pattern choices help distinguish different outfits.
• One sleeve per pack.

Casting Sleeve Fit at a Glance

All color options share the same fit. The around measurement is circumference, not diameter; check clearance over your largest guide.

Tackle Express Tips

• Assign colors by technique, such as Blue for worm rods and Red for crankbait rods, so the right setup is easier to find.
• Slide the sleeve on gently. If it catches on a guide, stop and reposition it rather than forcing it.
• Secure hooks at the hook keeper, not on a guide, and keep the lure outside the mesh. A Stick Jacket Plug Jacket provides separate lure coverage to help reduce hook snags.

Before You Sleeve Your Setup

Will this fit an 8 ft casting rod?
This model is listed for rods up to 7 ft 6 in. Choose XL Casting for the longer fit, provided your guides also fall within its stated dimensions.

Can I leave a lure tied on?
Usually, yes. The sleeve normally stops short of the hook keeper. Keep the lure outside the mesh and do not place hooks on a guide.

Does the color affect the size?
No. Color and pattern options share the same Casting sleeve specifications. Pick the one that helps you identify your outfit.

Can I hang the rod from the sleeve?
The brass end grommet provides a hanging point for a rod without its reel. Remove the reel before using that storage method.

The Shimano Tiagra Reel Covers features include: 5mm neoprene sides, Gold logo and stitches over shiny black fabric match the color of Tiagra reels and Tallus rods. All reel covers fit perfectly to specific size of Tiagra reels.

We like these reel covers because they allow you to see the reel size right on the cover.  If you have a bunch of reels in your reel case or on the rods, you can easily see what setup you are grabbing.  They not only look classy, they protect your reels from scratches, dents, digs and fading from the sun.  

They have been sized for each reel perfectly so it's a snug fit and won't blow off in the wind while you're heading to the fishing grounds.  If you're going to spend the money on the great Tiagra reel, it's best to take care of it with a Shimano Tiagra Reel Cover.

Wet boat runs and changing forecasts call for more than a casual windbreaker. The AFTCO Crossing Camo Jacket in Black Current Camo combines a 10K waterproof / 5K breathable TPU membrane, taped seams and a water-repellent finish to help you stay comfortable when rain and spray interrupt the day. A mesh liner and underarm venting help manage heat as you move from the ride out to casting and working around the boat.

Keep Fishing When the Weather Turns

Wind resistance, a self-locking hood cinch and an adjustable hem let you fine-tune coverage for exposed runs and breezy banks. Waterproof center-front and hand-pocket zippers add protection at common entry points, while brushed-tricot pocket linings provide a comfortable place to warm your hands between casts. Keep sensitive electronics in a separate waterproof case rather than relying on a jacket pocket alone.

The Right Pick If...

You want a packable fishing rain layer for uncertain weather, boat spray and windy mornings. Its breathable construction and vents are useful when activity levels change throughout the day. For cold outings, plan your warmth with layers underneath rather than treating rain protection as a substitute for insulation.

Best for: freshwater bass casting, inshore fishing, offshore runs, trolling and bank fishing in rain, spray or wind. Choose it for weather protection, not for a species-specific advantage.

Details That Make Wet Days Easier

• 100% polyester shell with a 10K/5K TPU membrane.
• DWR water-repellent finish and wind-resistant construction.
• Taped seams and waterproof center-front zipper.
• Waterproof zippered hand pockets with 100% polyester brushed-tricot lining.
• 100% polyester mesh liner and breathable underarm venting.
• Self-locking hood cinch cord and adjustable hem.
• Screenprinted logos and included mesh stuff sack.

One Jacket, Six Size Choices

Select your size above. Leave room for the layers you expect to wear and check that you can comfortably reach forward and cast.

Build a Weather-Ready Setup

Pair your rain layer with AFTCO Ankle Deck Fishing Boots for your on-deck setup. An AFTCO Ocean Bound Hooded Performance Shirt is a useful layer for changing conditions, while the AFTCO Expedition Fishing Duffle Bag gives you a dedicated place to organize spare clothing and separate wet gear after the trip.

Tackle Express Tips

• Adjust the hood and hem before a wet run so you are not reaching for cords while underway.
• Use underarm venting to manage heat when conditions allow; reduce vent openings when rain or spray increases.
• Let the jacket dry fully before long-term storage, and follow its care label to maintain the fabric and finish.

Questions Before Your Next Trip

What is the difference between the membrane and DWR?
The TPU membrane provides the jacket's rated waterproof and breathable barrier. The DWR finish helps water bead on the outer fabric; taped seams help protect stitched areas.

Can I use it for both freshwater and saltwater fishing?
Yes. Its rain and wind protection is useful for boat runs, casting sessions and exposed banks in either setting. Follow the garment's care instructions after use.

Does it pack away for travel?
Yes. A mesh stuff sack is included so you can stow the jacket when conditions improve. Dry it before storing it for an extended period.

Which color is this listing?
This listing is Black Current Camo, with Small, Medium, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL size options.

Choose your size and keep a dedicated rain layer ready for your next fishing trip with Tackle Express.

Early starts, cloudy afternoons and the ride back to the dock are good reasons to keep a fishing sweatshirt close by. The AFTCO Overcast Hooded Sweatshirt pairs a clean pullover design with an adjustable hood and hem, a front pouch and a separate zippered pocket. It is an easy layer to bring along for freshwater sessions, saltwater trips and everyday wear between outings.

More Useful Than a Basic Pullover

A hood that needs adjusting and small essentials loose in an open pocket can become distractions on the water. The Overcast gives you cord adjustments at the hood and lower hem so you can fine-tune coverage, plus zippered storage beside the front pouch. Keep small items organized without turning your sweatshirt into a tackle bag.

The Right Pick for Cooler Starts

Choose it when you want a hooded layer for cool, dry mornings, overcast days and relaxed time on the boat or bank. The pullover layout keeps the front simple, while the adjustable details give you more control than a basic hoodie. If frequent layer changes are your priority, a full-zip jacket may be more convenient. Pack a dedicated rain shell when wet weather is in the forecast.

Best for: bass casting from a boat or bank, inshore sessions, offshore trolling trips, dockside prep and everyday fishing apparel. Choose this layer for the conditions and your comfort, not for a species-specific advantage.

Details You Will Use on the Water

• Hooded pullover design with long sleeves.
• Adjustable hood cords for a personalized opening.
• Adjustable lower hem to fine-tune coverage.
• Front pouch for convenient access between casts.
• Separate zippered pocket for small essentials.
• Understated AFTCO branding and a choice of Steel or Black.

One Sweatshirt, Two Color Choices

Select your color and size above. Steel offers a gray-toned look, while Black is a simple choice for pairing with the rest of your fishing wardrobe.

Layer for the Day Ahead

Wear it over your usual base layer for casting, trolling or time at the dock. Check that you can reach forward and move through a casting motion comfortably with your intended layers underneath. For a separate wet-weather layer, consider the AFTCO Crossing Camo Jacket. Complete your boat-day outfit with AFTCO Ankle Deck Fishing Boots.

Tackle Express Tips

• Set the hood and hem before you start fishing, and keep loose cords clear of reels and other equipment.
• Zip small essentials away before a boat run. Keep electronics in a separate protective case rather than relying on a garment pocket for water protection.
• Follow the garment care label and let the sweatshirt dry fully before storing it in your gear bag.

Questions Before Your Next Trip

Which colors and sizes are offered?
Steel and Black are listed in Medium, Large, Extra large and XXL. Select a variant above to check current availability.

Does it have a full-length front zipper?
No. The Overcast is a pullover sweatshirt; the visible zipper is on its storage pocket.

Can I adjust the hood and hem?
Yes. Both have cord adjustments so you can fine-tune the opening and lower edge.

Is it only for saltwater fishing?
No. It is a practical apparel choice for freshwater outings, saltwater trips and casual wear. Match your layers to the day's forecast.

Choose your size and color at Tackle Express and keep a versatile hooded layer ready for your next outing.

Rain on the forecast doesn't have to decide your fishing plans. The AFTCO Hydro Waterproof Bib gives anglers a waterproof bib option for wet-weather outings, whether you're casting for bass on a rainy lake or fishing from a saltwater boat. Add it to your fishing layers when ordinary pants aren't the right choice for the conditions.

Make Wet Weather Part of the Plan

Choose the Hydro when you want bib-style coverage for a day around rain and spray. Pair it with a suitable rain jacket and fishing footwear to put together a wet-weather outfit, rather than relying on a jacket alone. For dry, warm-weather trips, lighter fishing pants or shorts may be the more practical choice.

Ready for the Way You Fish

Best for: wet-weather bass casting, coastal fishing, offshore trolling, bottom fishing, and boat trips where rain or spray is expected. Pick your layers for the temperature and check that you can comfortably sit, step, and cast before heading out. These bibs are fishing apparel, not waders or flotation equipment.

A Simple Addition to Your Rain Gear

• Waterproof fishing bib from AFTCO's Hydro lineup.
• Bib-style alternative to regular fishing pants for wet conditions.
• Listed sizes: Medium, Large, XL, and 2XL.
• Wear as part of a complete fishing outfit with appropriate jacket, footwear, and layers.

Find Your Size

Select your size from the product options. When choosing a fit, account for the clothing you intend to wear underneath, and use AFTCO's sizing guidance rather than assuming your usual pant size is the right match.

Tackle Express Tips

• Try your bib on over your planned fishing layers and check your range of motion while seated and standing.
• Build the whole wet-weather outfit: a bib doesn't replace a rain jacket or appropriate footwear.
• Follow the garment's care label and let it dry before storing it between trips.

Before You Head Out

Can I use the Hydro for freshwater and saltwater fishing?
Yes. A waterproof fishing bib is a useful clothing option for wet-weather outings on lakes, along the coast, and aboard saltwater boats. Choose the rest of your outfit for the conditions.

Which sizes does Tackle Express list?
This listing includes Medium, Large, XL, and 2XL. Select a size above to check its current availability.

Can I use these bibs as waders?
No. Choose purpose-built waders for entering the water. Fishing bibs are not a substitute for waders or a personal flotation device.

Finish Your Wet-Weather Setup

Pair your bib with AFTCO Ankle Deck Fishing Boots for a coordinated boat-fishing outfit. For your hands, consider AFTCO Break Water Waterproof Gloves when putting together your wet-weather gear.

Cold air feels different once the boat gets moving. The AFTCO Reaper Tactical Zip-Up Jacket in Charcoal pairs a three-layer stretch ripstop softshell with warm Hexatron™ fleece lining, giving anglers a windproof layer that moves with them while casting, working a lure, or reaching for the net. Its full-length zipper makes it easy to adjust coverage as a chilly launch turns into an active day on the water.

An integrated neck gaiter adds coverage without another loose accessory to keep track of, while the adjustable shock cord helps secure the fit. The understated Charcoal color works just as well around town as it does on the boat.

When a Sweatshirt Is Not Enough

Choose the Reaper when wind protection matters as much as warmth. The softshell construction provides a more purposeful barrier for exposed shorelines and boat rides than a basic sweatshirt, while the stretch fabric makes it a practical choice for repeated casts and active fishing. DWR water repellency helps shed light moisture, but this is not a substitute for dedicated waterproof rain gear in sustained rain.

The Right Pick If...

You fish cool mornings, breezy afternoons, or fall and winter trips and want a zip-up layer you can adjust throughout the day. Wear it over a base layer in cool weather, or incorporate it into a layered setup when temperatures drop further. For warm, still conditions, a lighter performance shirt is the better choice.

Best for: bass fishing with moving baits or jigs, shoreline casting, inshore fishing, and cool-weather offshore trips. Its benefit is weather comfort across techniques, not a species-specific feature.

Details That Earn Their Place on the Boat

• Three-layer stretch ripstop softshell: combines wind protection with freedom of movement.
• Hexatron™ fleece lining: adds warmth for cooler fishing conditions.
• Integrated neck gaiter: adds convenient face and neck coverage.
• Adjustable shock cord anchoring: helps keep the fit secure.
• Full zip-up front: makes layering and temperature adjustments straightforward.
• DWR water-repellent finish: helps shed light moisture.
• Zippered hand and chest pockets: keep small essentials close and contained.

The Charcoal Lineup

Select your size above. If you plan to wear additional layers underneath, check fit with those layers in mind rather than choosing solely by your usual T-shirt size.

Tackle Express Tips

• Before leaving the dock, adjust the hood and neck coverage so you are not fighting loose fabric once the boat is moving.
• Use the front zipper to release excess warmth during active casting, then close it before an exposed boat ride.
• Pack a separate waterproof shell when sustained rain is in the forecast. Windproof comfort and waterproof storm protection serve different jobs.

A Few Things to Know Before You Go

Is the Reaper a waterproof rain jacket?
No. Its DWR finish provides water repellency for light moisture. Choose dedicated waterproof rain gear for prolonged rain.

Does it include neck and face coverage?
Yes. The integrated neck gaiter provides extra coverage, with an adjustable shock cord anchoring system for a secure fit.

Can I use it for both freshwater and saltwater fishing?
Yes. It is a weather-focused layer for cool, windy conditions, whether you are casting for bass or heading out on a coastal trip.

Round Out Your Cool-Weather Setup
