  John, i get mine from Mal Storeys, Halesowen, west Mids. The last lot I had were made by Chub. They were not the most expensive and had velcro fastening bands on them which i prefer to the drw string idea.
  You should be able to find them on the net as i know they do web sales, or give them a call.

  Just buy velcro strips – cheap and simple to make! Other than that Halkon Hunt do the best ones as they are elasticated.

  I use shoulder padded car seat belt straps from Wilkinsons,you can get them for about Â£2 for 2 and they are about 8 inch or more long. Fully velcroed and padded,if put on right they will even protect your tips. I have 3 on every made up rod, the but base, top and middle so the bomb, wagg or feeder can be placed so it does not catch your rods in transit and protects your waggler.
  
  Try it?

  Thick elastic bands or hair bobbles. Cheap as chips and do just as good of a job.

  Thanks for the replys, I do like the velcro option as it both provides the extra protection and is cold finger friendly.
  I will check out the Wilkinson ones.

  Dad, would you mind picking a few of these up for me if they look ok? Fed up with setting rods up at home, then taking them out of the ready rod sleeve on the bank and spending longer sorting then out than it would have taken to set them up on the bank! I will pay you for them this weekend (promise)!
