Stockard SKU: OR-001059-0000 Select quantity & size 15 3/16" 4.5 oz. 100 3/16" 4.5 oz. 15 1/8" 2.5 oz. 100 1/8" 2.5 oz. Product Overview: These orthodontic latex rubber bands are a handy alternative to guide adhesive or masking tape for holding guides, especially single foot guides, in place on the rod blank while beginning the wrap. Once the wrap covers most of the foot so the guide is secure, you can cut the rubber band to remove it and finish the wrap. The pure latex elastics are available in either 3/16″ inside diameter (before stretching) with a force of 4.5 oz. or a lightweight 1/8″ size with 2.5 oz. force. Available in packages of 15 or 100 elastics. Starting at: $0.75 Customer Reviews     Write an online review and share your thoughts with other fly fishers!   Avg. Customer Review: Number Of Reviews: 4 159 of 313 people found the following review helpful: I was surprized 00/00/0000 Reviewer: Robert Butt (fatsixer2000@yahoo.com) from Nampa, ID US I bought these thinking what the heck they will not work but if they do good. Was I ever surprized. These things are awesome. Cuts my wrapping time in half. No problems with the wraping the first guide through the last. No masking tape to remove as I wrap in fact you have almost every inch of the wrap done and then cut the rubber band off. If you are getting frustrated with glue or tape definately give them a try you will love them Was this review helpful to you? 139 of 265 people found the following review helpful: I hate guide alignment 00/00/0000 Reviewer: Luke Winkler (winkler_luke@yahoo.com) from Nekoosa, WI US If I could do away with one part of rod building, it would be aligning the guides. These do help out, and for the almost negligible cost are the best way I've found to temporarily secure guides.

With glue the guide stays where I put it; however, with these rubber bands I am constantly realigning my guides.

I ended up using tape to place the guides. Maybe on a larger rod blank they would work better. Was this review helpful to you?
