Rod leashes, Plier leashes, etc - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Phone cords, zip ties, electrical tubing, and some S-biners from Home Depot. Don't skimp on the Carabiners I say. A good leash can last a while.

i use 3 types. my fishing partner made some leashes out of weedwacker line. look it up on youtube. i use those for areas where i want a tighter shorter coil...mirage drive, saftey paddle, halibut bat and bait tank net. those all sit out of the way. i use the hobie rod leashes for all my rods where i can disconnect them fast. i use the hobie retractible leashes for my pliers & bait knife. i installed all stainless steel loops on my yak to lash it all down and clip to. my motto is "at any time i can flip and all is secured."
hope that helps...josh.

Leashes are a PITA so I almost never use them. Yes I have lost rigs overboard. I would rather lose a rig once in a while then having to "deal" with leashes all the time.
