Whats the break strength on these guys? Luckily ive never gone over, from the boards experience are these more for flipping over or large fish insurance?

Nate's leash will work great for rods and other things that you do not want to lose overboard but I can think of an even better application. Attach one of these leashes near the forward hatch on any Hobie and you have the perfect leash for a Mirage Drive.

If this was standard equipment on all Hobies, I bet we would stop hearing the stories about lost Mirage Drives. Next time I am in O'side, I plan to stop in at OEX to pick up the parts to make one of these for my Revo.

Thanks for the great idea Nate. This one should be reposted to the Innovations thread.
