one of the things we kayaks worry about is loosing thing over board like rods and reels, nets, knives, and other sundry bits and pieces.
with a cheap rod leash setting you back around $30, with 2 yaks to look after it is a lot better to make my own so here go's [i got the idea for this off kayak fishing down under] the things i need 2.5mm line trimmer cord about 1.5mts crimps clips a piece of dowel a bit of broom handle will do cable ties a pot to boil water and a tray to hold ice water an old blade screw driver hammer or crimping tool drill and 3mm bit ok drill a 3mm hole in the piece of dowel pass one end of the cord through the hole and wind the cord as tightly as you can around the dowel and secure the end with the cable tie ![]() now place the bundle in a pot of boiling water for at least 10 minutes remove and place in ice water for another 10 minutes, remove from the water ![]() you can now remove the dowel and you should be left with a tight coil ![]() now crimp in a loop at each end ![]() there you are possum your landing net is finished ![]() the crimps I used 600kg ![]() hope you don't mind i just need to do this, some thing sensible for a change Paul
