How To Secure Your Rod From Sinking To The Depths
Quote:
https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-rod-buoy Pretty much a slimmed down pool noodle with a nice taper and some strip Velcro. I have one on my kids rod when she’s fishing. I only really tether rods if my reel is in gear and I’m trolling something with right drags. Or I’m coming I for a landing then everything gets tied down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have pipe insulation on all of my rods between the upper handle and the first guide.
Not sure if you mean the tangle as in they get caught up in everything, or if you mean they get hooked because they are made of fabric. My sabiki has gotten caught in mine more than a few I tend to mitigate the tangling problem by having a leash for every rod that has a universal clip, so I can unclip the rod very easily and reclip it to either another point on the kayak or one that’s connected to my vest. I also use the same type of leash to attach to my paddle. four rods and a paddle. Five leashes. Adjustable Bungee Cord Leash... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MX8DMJR...p_mob_ap_share I’ve been considering following one of these many guides online to make one that is hook free out of string trimmer material and crimps https://youtu.be/dvJKCwO6zpQ Last edited by ProfessorLongArms; 05-03-2020 at 09:13 AM. |

Thanks guys. I have some pool noodles in the garage. I'll give that method a try.

I use pipe insulation
I use the same method Home Depot pipe insulation (nice and clear) and use duck tape or zip ties. I dropped my rod and reel in the water twice already and it was floating next to my kayak. I put it in all my rods for kayaking and fishing off my sea doo. One less thing to worry about and no more rod leashes tangled.
