Coiled para cord

[GTboosted]

Its a fun project thats for sure.

With double of the plastic line how firm is it? One of the reasons I don't like leashes is because they feel unatural when holding the rod due to tension.

Anyway on mine I have them double shrink wrapped. First, I burn off each end of the plastic line to round off the sharp edges, then I add a small shrink wrap over both lines...all of this to protect the transition from the plastic line and sheath to sheath only.

Finally I add another shrink to cover the knot. Seems a bit excessive but its really easy and only takes a few seconds.

Exactly, LOL. Manly fishermen don't want a limp coil, do they? Then again, mine are only six inches.

By the time we're done getting it perfect for all 8 leashes, we will have lots of extras to hand out to our friends.

Standby ....

For the clip, I received these today from Amazon:

"Swivel Eye Bolt Snap Hook"

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

24 clips for only $20. Nice quality. Good size for easy clipping.

They fit on my coiled leash as easily as sliding a torpedo weight onto a dropper loop.

Let us know how those hold up. I've had similarly priced "stainless steel" bolt snaps freeze up after only a few dips in saltwater, even with fw rinses. Usual one's I buy for diving usage run about $5+ but they hold up pretty well.
