AT Series Coil Covers:thumbdown:

[88junior]

I am constantly cracking or chipping these covers I have bought 5-6 in the past 2 years I wish they were thicker and a little more indestructible. When hunting the woods rocks have a uncanny ability to hide in the leaves and that's why I'm having this trouble. Has anyone used the plasti dip spray rubber stuff in a can on their coils to help protect them from damage? I am burnt out on paying 13-15 dollars on something that most times gets destroyed on it's first hunt. Let me know your guys suggestions. Thanks

Theres gotta be something that would work for you....I wonder if even some silicone caulk squirted around on the sides of the coil and bottom in a nice thick bead would be better? Somebody should have some ideas that worked for them...

Some heavy and very tough plastic sheeting that circle trackers use for body panels can be cut to size and zip-tied to the coil. A roll of this stuff is cheaper than a single coil cover, and it has many other uses. Different colors are available. Great stuff!!!
(and no, i don't own company stock )

Well, I can't understand how you break some many covers. Not trying to school you on your abilities or anything, just saying. Anyway, I have used Rust-Oleum never leak liquid rubber spray and it works great. You can spray 2-3 coats all over the coil and as many as you wish on the outside lip of the coil. I believe this would solve your problem and you would be a happy camper again. This stuff sprays pretty thick so don't get too close, (don't ask how I know). Good luck. Be sure to clean the coil real good with alcohol or acetone before spraying, if you use the product. Coil covers...Meh. I throw mine away!

I relic hunt in some very rocky terrain and these covers are the only ones that have gave me trouble. The old 1266x I use to have, the coil covers on them were near indestructible on it and I never had that problem hunting these areas.

Been using the Rust Oleum never leak liquid rubber spray for the past 4 years on the bottom of my coils and have never had a problem. I also search some rocky areas. Try it you will like it.

Even with a cover you have to guard the coil and keep from bumping or grinding it on solid objects or gravel as much as possible , its only plastic. The closer you get the coil to the ground the better depth capability you have but I strive to maintain a little distance between my coil and anything hard , it takes a little work and practice but I dont like throwing my money away , I want stuff to last. I used spray on bedliner on my ace 250 coil , it worked good at keeping abrasion from the coil but being so soft or flexible it dont absorb shock from accidental impact at all. The coil on my pro is coated with clear epoxy , its hard so it takes some of the accidental impacts without transfering it to the coil , and can be put on in layers between cure times to make it as thick as you want it. If some does eventually come off I can just put more on. It dosent damage the coil and I am told it dont hurt the warranty , though I didnt check on that part myself. Its difficult to get it spread on the coil neatly so mine dont look that great , but if I damage the coil through 3 coats of epoxy then I am doing something seriously wrong. The down side is its pretty permanent once its been applied.

Guys I think I found my fix do a Google search on rubber splice tape it's a awesome product that adheres to itself. I applied this to the outer edge of my coil and I think it has solved my coil cover problem. I will try and post a pic of my coil later so you guys can see if it's something that you may want to try.
