I wonder how it would hold up to extended UV exposure. Might get brittle.

Holy Crap!

I have miles of that stuff for my edger! Even if they deteriorate after a while, it would be so much cheaper to make a new one!

That's the first thing I thought of when I thought of buying/making rod leashes. Every leash I own I bought on eBay and all have spectra/wire cores. The ones that don't need to be coiled I made from marine grade cord (aka 60# Rod Butt cord).
SoCal.B.B. HAD A REALLY GOOD Idea (THANKS)! I have a bunch of old BB phone plugs I never got rid of that I could use for some small leashes (for bait nets and for a leash for my YakAttack light poles etc.)
