[maybo]

Just bought a Daiwa Zillion rod in Le baron and end up the rod doesn't come with any hook keeper.

just use a guide

I don't think that hook keepers are all they're cracked up to be. For a large bait they're next to useless. For small(er) baits just thread a small tie-wrap through a split ring of appropriate size then tighten the tie-wrap anywhere you like. Lots use their rod guides for hook keepers but I won't. Guides are made to have line running freely through them, not as an anchor....even the good quality ones are too easy to scratch, bend, etc...

The tie-wrap system works even better if you can put it on your reel without messing anything up.

Some folks with baitcasting rods drill a hole in the fingergrip.

I dont think that you will find anyone that carries them here. I bought mine from states side.

You can get the Fugi folding hook keeper at angleing specialties for a buck I think but you will need them to wrap it on for a couple bucks extra.

Basspro in Vaughn Mills has them, I have bought them there.

A few outfits package rubber rings that roll over the butt. 2 or 3 for a few bucks. I use them on a few rods and they work fine. I bought some at Bass Pro last year I think. Dick's Sports has 'em down in the States.

 

I'm heading down to the States in a few weeks. Let me know and I'll pick some up for you if you can't find 'em.

Any luck finding this specific item? I've been looking for a couple of these myself without much success.

Go to the hardware store and get a small pack of surface mount ( uv resistant) black cable ties.

 

Works wonders and its cheap
