How to attach a leash to a rod?
How do you attach a rod leash to a rod?
I have some very big, obtrusive leashes. Trying to find a way to have a very small attachment point. Thanks for sharing. |

Split ring, a zip tie and a tiny carabiner

I have a small stainless steel ring held on the rod with a double sided Velcro strap. It sits perfectly right above the rear hypalon and also works great on deckhand style rods. This is completely out of the way when casting and cranking.
Then I have a short bungee attached to each rod holder on the bait tank with a small plastic clip that attaches to the SS ring on the rod. It's a really clean simple system. Might not hold up with a fish on the line, but will keep the rods attached in the event of a roll. I typically don't leash my rods in the rocket launchers (just when in the bait tank holders), though I do have some leashes for those. I use a bungee cord wrapped in paracord using some knot my grandad taught me back in the day that looks like a belt. I like this as it lays flat and straight when not in use and is not a coiled mess tangling up all my ish. Last edited by dmrides; 03-23-2013 at 07:42 PM. Reason: Sitll laenring to sepll |

Finally, I am able to make a contribution to the BWE! I had nothing to do one day, and discovered a turks head. Figured I would put a loop in it, and that was where I could attach my rod leash. Simple but effective and I get an additional spot to get a beeter hold of the rod.

Less than $5 for a 20 pack at target/walmart ect. Usually in the appliance or automotive section. A small keyring works well.
Rob showed me these. They're meant to serve as reminders for when you put a disk lock on your motorcycle. $5 on amazon. Coated steel cable and contracts to a very managable size, so they're not in the way. I use them on my game clips as well (notice the plural) |

That's an ingenious idea.
I was thinking about a way to put a loop on the end of my dikes to secure it to my yak. Never had to worry about it when on a boat but I'm more concerned about dropping things "over the side " in a Yak. Thanks for sharing! FFY. |

How do you tie this? I like this a lot. I currently have 2 methods. The new Penn reel clamps have a eye built into it. I use those on the rods without reel seats. But I would rather use this. Will this fit in the rod holder? I guess it depends on the rod thickness. |
