Booms Fishing RC2 Spinning Reel Cover - Neoprene Protective Case

In this review of the Booms Fishing RC2 Spinning Reel Cover, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, low-profile protective sleeve for anglers who want to keep spinning reels free from scratches, dings and moisture during transport and storage. The reviewer finds the 3mm neoprene construction and breathable side mesh especially useful for everyday use, and the option for right or left hand orientation plus five size choices means most common 1000 to 10000 series reels can be covered without removing the reel from the rod.

Key Features

• 100% Neoprene: The 3mm neoprene body cushions the reel against impacts and prevents rubbing and scratching when reels are carried together or stored.
• Side Breathable Mesh: Mesh panels allow air circulation to help keep reels drier after a day on the water and reduce trapped moisture.
• Right / Left Hand Options: Versions for both right and left hand reels make the cover convenient for anglers with either reel orientation.
• Easy to Use: The design lets you mount or remove the cover while the reel is on the pole, saving time when changing gear quickly.
• Hook & Loop Closure: A simple hook and loop fastener makes it quick to secure the cover and adjust tightness for a snug fit.
• Five Size Choices: Multiple sizes (S, M, L, XL, Universal) accommodate reels from 1000 up to 10000 series so you can pick a close fit.

Who It's For

The Booms Fishing RC2 is best for recreational and traveling anglers who need a compact, protective solution for spinning reels. It is particularly suited to people who keep multiple reels in a bag or on a boat and want to avoid scratches, minor dings and exposure to spray without bulky hard cases.

Those who need a perfect, form-fit solution for unusually shaped premium reels or who want fully waterproof hard protection should look elsewhere; this is a soft neoprene sleeve that prioritizes padding and breathability over rigid impact resistance.

Pros & Cons

Cons

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 3000 size spinning reel?
Yes. Choose size M for 2000-3000 reels or size L for 3000-5000 reels if you prefer a slightly looser fit.

Can the cover stay on while the reel is mounted to the rod?
Yes. The design allows the reel cover to be mounted or removed while the reel is on the pole for quick changes.

Is it waterproof?
No. The neoprene provides padding and the mesh increases breathability, but it is not a waterproof hard case and will not protect against full submersion.
