Stripping Guards are designed to protect your fingers from line burns from your fly line. They have become particularly popular with the introduction of SharkSkin lines from Scientific Anglers due to their rough texture.
Stripping Guards are handy for normal fly lines as well, especially when fishing long days in saltwater or fishing to super fast fish like bonefish or tuna that can burn your fingers on the hook set.
Stripping Guards are made of an elastic, quick-drying fabric that is tough and comfortable to wear all day. There are three Stripping Guards per package. One size fits all.
