Anyone know where I can find a leather fingerstall in the Myrtle Beach area or online? Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

this has been here quite a while, why don't you tell us what a "fingerstall" is?

I'm thinking he is referring to a leather thumbguard- for adding grip to the conventional reel- or protecting the finger when casting heavy lead with a spinner,

I would think most tackle shops would have them. I get by with a piece of inner tube myself.

Sorry about the delay in response. I was talking about a leather finger protector for casting heavy long surf rods. I'm looking for one commercial made in leather. The only one I can find that are all leather are in the UK. I was hoping to find one a little closer to home. Thanks for the response.

Dumb question.

You have checked Bass Pro down there?

 

[kingfisherman23]

BassPro doesn't have them, and evidently doesn't carry them because I tried to get one ordered and Mike couldn't find anything in the system.

Try thesurfcaster.com, they have a nice one with a double-stitched leather pad and elastic sleeve backing for like 3.99.

yes I've checked bass pro and everywhere else I can think of down here. No one carries them in leather. I may just order one fom uk or try to find a leather shop to saw me one up. My old one is past its prime and due to retire..

I think Greg may still have a few laying around. Give him a call or ask him on this forum

Go on line and google "Thumbdinger" This might do it for you. I forgot what site I got mine on, but the guy sent one to me to try when I asked questions on it.... works good.. salt

I have one exactly like the one at the link posted by Orest and have had no problems with it...ALTHOUGH...Lee Valley (same place I get my magnets from), has what they call "High-Friction Guard Tape", that was made for wood carvers. It's cotton guaze impregnated with latex and they advertise it as "sticks to itself, not to other things, and holds its shape well once formed". 3/4" wide by 90' long roll is $4.90. I'm going to get a roll to try, as once it's on, I figure it will be easier to keep on, rather than taking off and putting on the leather guard numerous times.

 

[Jawbonez]

thanks for the info. I will have to look into the friction tape also.

you can get the ones like Orest posted at the red Drum Tackle in Buxton, If you call them they ship, they are only 1.59 there.

You can buy real leather finger and thumb stalls hand-made from gloving leather at www.fingerstalls.com. These are ideal if your bass fishing or using a braded line.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for. Would you know how long the shipping would be?

The postal service says 5 days but its better to expect 10 !!!
