DIY leashes, particularly for kayaks
Softy replied to Soobz's topic in How to guides and DIY projects
I make up the same myself but with a clip on the other end that I put around the reel stem. Never really had any issues with it getting in the way. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk -
I've not fished it for years LB but from memory i tried once on the low and all i did was get snagged and lose jigs.

That's your second mistake. I've learnt to only use low/mid range gear on the kayak it gets trashed way too easy. First thing I'd be doing is making up some rod leashes or buying some they are cheap insurance. One of my first outings when I got my kayak I went down to Marino and ended up in the drink and lost a couple of good combos and assortment of other things.. wasn't a great day but you learn from your mistakes.

I've got a couple of Sumlimated shirts and they do the job just fine. If your watching your cash just wait till stores have sales and and grab them then.

Mine is from Dreamfish also but if you flip the ruler over it should be stamped Fishmaxx.

I use one of the fishmaxx rulers. the fish usually behave while laying on it. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

I used to use a Gomuku Red with a 2500 on it as a snapper rod to chase snapper on plastics. But with a quick rig change it turned into a awesome whiting rod. Well until it went for a swim at Marino. Planning to get another before snapper season opens again to use on the kayak.

Bit wobbly?

No idea we are not allowed to target them until next year. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Looks like you have had a busy day! Could be onto something with that speed clam idea....

I'll have to try the Rizzuto it annoys me when the tag end sometimes undoes a hitch and flaps about. never had the knot slip though.
-
Honestly the FG knot isn't that hard to tie once you get the hang of it..
-
Saw that one on Pinrest this morning.. wouldn't take much to knock up.

Bit late to the party... Been down the tip raiding supplies? I like that 3 peice one you made. Maybe later down the track when i have the tools and maybe even a work bench. Still need to sort that out since moving in.

Ended up getting the $30 one. Got them all in but 2. I've got another rod coming I won in a FB comp a couple of weeks ago... Maybe I'll need to get another rack. [emoji23] Tempted to split it and wall mount Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

I could get 2 packs of these and have enough for 20 rods if i just butt them together along the wall. But worried about spacing with reels on. https://www.boatingandrv.com.au/horizontal-mount-5-rod-rack/ Or maybe one of these but i'll have to alternate spin/baitcaster and rod with no reels to use all the slots i guess... and it's a bit ugly. But half price atm so maybe get 2? https://www.anacondastores.com/fishing/fishing-storage/fishing-rod-storage/berkley-fishing-rod-rack/BP90119682-black-red

Trying to come up with a cheap rod holder for my spare room... I thought i know a man who likes to do stuff on the cheap. Do you have a vertical rod holder? It's for my spare room, considering just buy a strip style holders and screwing into the plaster wall.
-
Guessing they are Ebay clips?
-
i find myself using pointy nose pliers sometimes with the decoy clips, just need to be careful not to deform them.

Just running some pliers through the braid cutting test

I've got a couple of pairs of diawa braid scissors which I got when I brought j-braid and they do a good job. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
