Anyone ever use the Troll Jacket or Troll Sock? Just curious if it actually holds up.

I've don't have one. I've seen one on a friend's boat. Haven't heard any complaints.

I bought one new last December. It faded so badly that it was grey in February. By April, the thing had deteriorated so badly that it was crumbling. I threw it away at that point.
Great idea, but a terrible choice in materials. I had an upholstery shop make me a new one using a 5’ long by 6” scrap of BMW convertible top fabric. I wanted it red to match my boat seats. This new one is as good as the day it was made. Cost me $20 to have one made.
Almost EVERYTHING THMarine that I have bought for my boat has been TRASHED after it failed to function as it should. In very short order. Including my THMarine Hydrowave. It lasted about 3 weeks before the screen quit working, a couple months later, all it would do is make rapid clicking noises. Lol.
THMarine “anything” is garbage.

After reading the above, I was just thinking that you guys wanting to try the jacket might give it a good spraying with aerospace 303. The jacket does sound like an idea to try.

bought a 7 ft long by about 6 inch wide cable wrap off Amazon. made of black neoprene with a strip of velcro down one edge. wraps right around the T/M cable and works well. no fancy name on it!!! but it was $12.00
I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning !!!

I have one on my boat and have no complaints. Was on it when I bought it. My boat is in a garage when I'm not fishing, so it doesn't get much exposure to the elements.

I have had mine on my boat for over a year now and it still looks good. There is some loose threads from time to time and I just cut them off. I keep mine covered when not in use so the UV rays don't get to it. ![cheers cheers](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif)

Mine faded pretty quick, and my boat is kept inside the shop. Not coming apart but disappointed in how it looks now.
