Waterproof fishing reel cover


I am looking for a waterproof cover or bag to slip over my reels when heading through the surf zone.I strap the rods and reels to the top of the yak ,which dosn't offer any protection.
I have looked at the wet suit type but they don't seal around the rod and reel handle and are not waterproof.
Can anyone help

Yeah mate, I use what I call 'splash' bags on my reels for crossing the surf line.
They aren't 100% waterproof but they're sufficiently watertight to do the job.
They're made by 'Sea to Summit', have a toggle close-off and are size XXS.
You'll find them at most good camping stores.
