good call on the cable cuffs.
they also can be used to secure rods to yak.

Hey Josh, I can't find these at Walmart or online. I'm just searching wrong. It's not called a "bungee hook".. is there a specific name for this item? or a link would be even better? Thanks..

while bass fishing never tie up to the kelp for two reasons:

1) calicos are structure orientated fish and are using that kelp to hide in. When you start pulling on that kelp its going to send vibrations down the stalk and spook the bass.

2) the name of the game is covering water. tying up makes you stationary.

Seabass fishing is another story...

good luck,


and I never ever fish anything less than 30lb fluoro, most of the time 40 or straight spectra.

I use a bungee cord to tie off to the kelp because it has some stretch in it. Very cheap and works great.
