The BROWNING Xitan Joint Protectors are a range of EVA protectors to keep the sleeves of your Whitefish poles intact. They fit in the male bushings so that they don't crack anymore, but you can also put them in the female bushings so that no gravel or dirt can get in. Rod stops suitable for rods from Browning and most other well-known brands. Put some glue on them to secure them in place.
