Buy the cheap ones that are used for kids bracletts. Come 5 or 10 to a pack or tube. I take the connector and tape put one on each end of a stick. Position stick on rod where you want it. Neatly tape connectors in place. Use stick. Remove stick and leave connectors taped in place. Next time out, break new sticks and insert into connectors. Works well. I have them on all my catfish rods.
