Reel foot protection

[RMCatchNrelease]

So I am sick of my reel feet getting scuffed by aluminum nuts. I love my new Edge rod, but the nut already tore into my Alphas 105H. I went to two layers of blue painter's tape and that works per say. But I wanted better...Here is what I think I will be trying next.

I got the idea from my new car's clear bra

Is the scratch coming from the side or the top? the one on the corner is the hardest to protect. I used UHMW tape from mcmaster before with good result, but the tape don't stay on for long if you keep changing rods.

Keep us updated on your results. I'm interested as well.

From reading the post on that link for reel foot protections Africanbass seems to only recommend it for the T3 family. I wonder if anyone else has ordered them for other Daiwas. I need some for Steez and Alpha platforms ASAP. I should revive that thread.
