How it started
We are based in Salzhausen near Hamburg, in the south of the Elbe. We are of course passionate anglers and in 2020 we came up with the idea of producing our own rod protection. The trigger was, on the one hand, scratched blanks during transport in the car and the search for rod protection for careful storage on the boat.
The offers on the market were confusing: the size information (if available) was usually feet or inches for casting socks and there was hardly any offer for spinning rods and if there was, it wasn't a good fit. So why not offer something yourself?
Our mission
Protecting and organizing fishing equipment
We were driven by our own needs to protect rods and reels that are becoming increasingly high quality and more sensitive. Rod bags have been around for a long time and may be useful for traveling, but who wants to carry something like that to the fishing spot? But very complicated and space-consuming.
Our favorite spots
From the Elbe to the Müritz
The most beautiful fishing areas right on our doorstep, we prefer to be with that Boat on the move: on the Elbe in the port of Hamburg, the Müritz and the Kölpinsee and sometimes to the Bodden.
Looking ahead
Our new brand "PHEIL"
Unfortunately, the name rod sock cannot be protected as a generic term. In order to have the opportunity to appear under a unified brand in the future and to bring new products to the market to protect and organize fishing equipment, we have created the PHEIL brand, PHEIL is derived from? Petri Heil.
MEET THE TEAM
We offer appropriate rod protection for almost every rod length. If the right size is not available, we are also happy to fulfill special requests quickly: the rod sock as a made-to-measure product. For questions, comments and special sizes:
