Commonly available in all supermarkets for very little money, cutting bands of silicone out of these makes for very good anti-slip and anti-crush rings for placing beneath jubilee clips to secure each section of a fibreglass fishing pole.

You can alternatively buy special jubilee clips from Spider Beam, which are fairly reasonably priced and hence qualify for inclusion on the blog!
Oh, and if you want a good source of very high quality hand-operated butterfly type jubilee clips, you can buy as many or as little as you want from this fine store in the UK. After several months of high winds and salt-laden air, I can't see any hint yet of rust. Other standard clips turn to dust unless coated with grease.

Just stumbled across your blog and read some of your posts and I am glad to find someone who thinks like me. I am a HAM on a budget, and strongly believe we need to show that you don't need to rich or retired and rich to follow this hobby.
