Hello guy's and gals, This is the first time I've posted on this board since the rodrack. I would like to get some opinions on Gudebrod's Nylon Med. Green. CP or no CP?

It is very inexpensive and a great idea for protection when shipping a completed rod. One thing I found out is, don't try to rip the tag off the...
