grizwilson Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I have noticed in the last few Pflueger Supreme I have bought there is 1 piece of clear "tape" like a sticker. I can not figure out its use or intention. Hopefully someone can enlighten me? “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
Evolution Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Looks like a reel foot protector of some sort to me.

You can place them on the reel foot to protect from scratches and marks transferring the reel in and out of various rods. We hope this information adequately answers your question.

Quillback Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks for solving that mystery, I sure had no idea.
dtrs5kprs Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Bigger question is "why"? Of all the things I've protected in life, a reel foot has never made the list. Odd.
fishinwrench Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I have had to place strips of duck tape on my reel feet before, to get the reel to mount solid to certain rods. The old Berkely Series One Rods didn't like my metal frame 4600C reels. They wouldn't tighten down good unless you "shimmed" it.
joeD Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 It's misdirection. If something is added on to a product that no one asks for and is not really needed, at negligible cost to the producer, and then is advertised as an "additional" feature, then, you have, for example, in Pfluegers case, a band aid. When you cut yourself out of frustration with a Pflueger reel, you will have something minimal to staunch your regret for buying a Pflueger. dtrs5kprs 1
Mitch f Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Strange, are they protecting the actual reel foot? Which is usually steel? Or are they protecting the rod reel seat, which is plastic? agree with Wrench on that, I've had to add gaskets/spacers in reel seats for certain brand reels, to keeps the reel from moving around and get a solid mount.
