Kelp clips
 

Does anyone have advise on a good brand of kelp clip and where to find one and/or how to make one? Pics would be greatly appreciated. Just a simple explination of such device would be good for me as well tho... I tried to tie kelp to my side handles today without success....

I hope my ignorance on this isn't to amusing. I'm honestly not sure what a kelp clip is but would have liked to use the kelp today to stop me from drifting. I was going to tie on some 40# and a 4/0 hook to my handle as a solution but opted to use my anchor in open water away from the kelp instead. I have a lot to learn!!!!

Go to oex and buy one, i dont think they are too expensive. You need an anchor trolley too. With that you can anchor to the front or back.

I have an anchor trolley ful-rac.. I got familiar with using it today and found it very effective. I'll go to OEX tomorrow morning if they're open! Thank you for the response!!

get a D-ring. tie and overhand in the kelp to make a loop then clip the D-ring to it. you can also make one with a float. paint it orange or yellow so you can see it and unclip then go back to your spot.

i had cleats on my yak and would just wrap the kelp around one.

I use one of these with a 3 foot section of para-cord attached to it and then a loop on the end of the para-cord that clips into my anchor trolley. Works great.

I have used bungee cords to tie off to kelp, they work great,

I have also used kelp to tie off to the kelp, just wrap it (3 or 4 strands of kelp) around your leg or a pole holder.

home depot has something similar if not the same . these were suggested in a recent post , so i grabbed a couple . if nothing else wrap some strands of kelp around the mirrage drive peddles .

Until you have used a kelp clip you have no idea how much better they are than all the other options. Way quicker and easier especially if its really windy. Work great in freshwater on tulies too.

ME TOO!!

Yep thats the one. Works great too and relatively inexpensive. Sure your homemade clip will work but this one works better.

Josh makes ours with a float so that if you hook a big fish you can just unclip and come back to it.

Check you new fangled fellas out. I'm still wrapping the stringers around my foot then pinning it against the foot rigger. Mike

Yeah, old school rules!
