  Around here, skid bungs are almost always used. If you’re shipping back across a canal towpath & through hedges, etc., you need something to avoid chipping the end of sections.
  
  I only heard the other day (from the proprietor of my local shop) that Drennan have discontinued them, which was a surprise to say the least. I have three 48mm versions and they work just fine above that size if you cut the fins with a craft knife, then wrap with a couple of turns of duck tape. There’s still a little bit of ‘give’ even at the larger size and they never stick.
  
  For protecting the end of narrower sections, I’ve been using a set of the Maver skid bungs since they came out. I believe they’re also now discontinued which is another shame because they’re a good product too.
  
  Bit of useless info. – the original idea for what became the Drennan skid-bung came from Mick Still from Hesketh Bank (former Chairman of Southport & DAA).
