ABSTRACT:
Wraps to hold line guides on a flexible fisherman's rod are formed as sleeve-like units of a resilient polymer material which exhibits the characteristic properties of being capable of being elastically stretched, fixed in its stretched state by lowering the temperature thereof below normal room temperature whereby the elasticity is lost, and subsequently returned towards its original unstretched state by being allowed to warm towards normal room temperature such that the elasticity thereof is regained. The sleeve-like wrap is radially expanded and elastically stretched so as to increase its inside diameter to a diameter greater than the diameter of the rod. While in an expanded state, the temperature of the rod wrap is lowered sufficiently to cause the rod wrap to lose its elasticity and remain in a fixed and expanded state. The rod wrap is then placed about the fishing rod and over at least a portion of the line guide or other rod implement to be attached to the rod. As the rod wrap warms sufficiently to regain its elasticity, it contracts and tightly grips the rod and the rod implement in a tensioned condition to secure the line guide or rod implement tightly in place on the rod.
